All manufacturers know that maximizing press machine productivity is the key to an economical and profitable work floor. With Forwell’s quick die change systems very fast, safe, and efficient die changes are ensured. Some of the main benefits include high levels of production, convenient die standardization, and reduction in labor costs. Furthermore, considering the ease of use and time saving nature of these die change systems, press machine operators find themselves in better spirits and able to work more efficiently, further boosting productivity.
For large scale operations, Forwell can also design revolutionary die cart systems that can serve individual press machines or even whole production lines. With rapid innovation, Forwell’s quick die change systems, quick die change clamps, and other related equipment incorporates the absolute latest in technological developments. When considering a new press machine, be sure to consult Forwell to see how our equipment can increase your efficiency, improve your working environment, and also increase your profits.
All Forwell Quick Mold Change Systems use high quality Die Clamps for very secure clamping, quick mold changing and safer operations. These clamps can fasten Molds whether they are changed vertically or horizontally.
There are also a range of different Die Clamps available to suit your injection molding or mold casting requirements. The TY type Die Clamps are machined to fit into the T-slot of the bolster for extra secure positioning. The flange-mount model Die Clamps can be bolted onto the bolster and the automatic slider model Die Clamps makes remote automatic operation possible.
Bolster extensions or Die Arms make it very easy and simple to pull out or push a die in. It also allows for a forklift or crane to remove and load dies easily. Die stoppers at the end of each Die Arm will prevent the die from rolling off but at the same time provide easy die loading onto the bolster extensions.
The Die Arms are equipped with hardened rollers to allow for a long service life and accurate die loading. The Die Arms can be selected according to carrying capacity, and are available in three different types: RC detachable type, RD drop-down type and RE/RF folding type.
The bolster extension makes it easy to move the dies to an accessible area of the press for convenient die changing with a crane or forklift truck. Available in three different designs: detachable RC series, drop-down RD series(alternate model), and folding RE/RF series.

The easy to use control panel offers a simple interface to monitor and control operations of the Quick Mold Change System. The upper half of the screen displays automatic functions while the lower half can be used for operator-controlled functions. This makes this machine easy to control yet still have the functionality needed of a Quick Mold Change System.
The hydraulic pump ensures tight and stable die clamping and allows the system to maintain clamping pressure on the mold even when there is a power failure or air pressure drops. The PCB Fine Piercing System uses air-driven hydraulic pumps resulting in very high clamping pressures, high energy efficiency and convenient automated operations. Forwell’s hydraulic pump units also feature an easy to adjust air pressure valve to effectively control the systems air pressure.
These Spring-Loaded Die Lifters easily slide into different sized T or U-slots on the bolster by adding spacers to the side walls of the Die Lifters. This allows for accurate and easy die positioning as well as quick and easy die removal. The DR Series Die Lifters are available in customizable lengths in increments of 100mm, and are available as either a ball type lifter or roller type lifter.
