Quick Die Change System
During a die change on a punch press, there are many things that can happen that can affect the efficiency of the die change. Traditional die change processes typically utilize machinery to manually loosen and tighten bolts, which can potentially cause injury to workers. In addition, quality and productivity are compromised due to wasted downtime.
The Punch Press Quick Die Change System provides a method of loosening and removing a complete tooling system to replace traditional manual die changes. Consisting of a pneumatic-hydraulic unit, die gripper, electronically controlled operator box, die transfer arm, and die lifter, the complete system simplifies the clamping/unclamping and die change process, making die changes on presses easier and safer than ever before.
Quick Die Change System Overview
Mold Clamp
Mold clamps are divided into TB type platen clamps, TA type straight pull clamps and TA-X type self-propelled straight pull clamps, which can be selected according to whether there is a U-notch on the edge of the mould base plate or not.
Pump Unit
Three circuits of independent control, two pressure protection, modular design, installation and operation is simple, stable, the upper clamping mold a circuit, the lower clamping mold a circuit, lifting mold a circuit.
Die Lifters
Die lifters are divided into DL type roller type die lifter and DB type ball type die lifter, according to the demand for optional.
Die Arm
The mold transfer arm is divided into dismountable mold transfer arm, folding mold transfer arm, folding and hanging mold transfer arm, according to different needs for selection.

Manual Operation
Automation
While Die/Mold changing, it takes long time and manpower to tighten.
Only touch the buttons on the control panel.
The tightening force will be different by different operators.
The clamping force is the same. Increased safety.
Operators waste much manpower, increased injury happened.
By control panel, operators save manpower and decrease injury happened.
No alarm notification while the screws are loosing.
With alarm device, the machine will stop immediately.
