the present invention provides a slide guide for a press which comprises a gib structure with a spherical surface . the gibs are formed on a frame of the press . the spherical surface is provided with a holder or a cap to cover the spherical surface . the surface contacts are formed between the spherical surface bodies and the gibs or between the caps and the gibs . forming spherical contact surfaces prevents damage to the sliding surface . this slide guide provides uniform , secure contact at a sliding surface of a press and prevents uneven contact . the spherical surface body can be easily installed and can adapt to deformation of the slide and prevent damage to the sliding surface .
