The invention discloses a gap frame press capable of automatically collecting metal debris. The gap frame press comprises a punch body, a punching head and the like. The punching head is arranged on the lower portion of the punch body; a lower die seat is arranged under the punching head; vertical columns are arranged on the two sides of the punch body, and an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the lower die seat; control boxes are located on the vertical columns and connected with the infrared emitter, the infrared receiver and the punch body correspondingly; a bracket is arranged on one side of the lower die seat, a brush is arranged on the bracket, and a magnet is arranged on the upper portion of the brush; and the magnet is connected with an air cylinder. The gap frame press has the beneficial effects that the magnet connected with the air cylinder is mounted and used for attracting the metal debris of the lower die seat, the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver are mounted on the vertical columns, and an effective infrared protection grating is formed between the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver. The gap frame press is simple in structure and has the advantages of low accident rate and high automation degree of equipment.
