1. An adjusting system for adjusting a guide play of a sliding guide for a movable part of a press, comprising:
an adjustable guide element (1), which comprises
a sliding block (9), the sliding block (9) being movable transversely to a direction of movement of the movable part;
an adjusting wedge (5);
a guide wedge (8), the guide wedge (8) cooperating with the adjusting wedge (5);
a spindle drive with a spindle (3);
a measured value encoder configured to record the guide play of the sliding guide; and
an open-loop or closed-loop control device;
wherein movement of the adjusting wedge (5) relative to the guide wedge (8) causes the sliding block (9) to shift perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the movable part,
wherein the adjusting wedge (5) is continuously adjustable by the spindle drive,
wherein the spindle (3) cooperates with a movement thread of the adjusting wedge (5), and
wherein the measure value encoder records the guide play of the sliding guide and outputs this to the open-loop or closed-loop control device for automatic readjustment of the guide play.
