Introduction

Forwell’s Quick Die Change System is an automatic die changing system that can be specifically designed for hydraulic and mechanical power presses and press production lines. This system automates the die changing process and provides increased speed, efficiency and productivity to a workshop. The Quick Die Change System not only reduces die change time, but also promotes diverse small batch production runs and streamlines production management.

Quick Die Change Systems are becoming a standard for large manufacturers as they not only increase production efficiency, but also improve the overall working environment. The Automatic Die Change System can be built specifically for your machining requirements and will drastically reduce machine idle time during die changes, boosting your competitiveness. There are also a number of indirect benefits of installing a Quick Die Change System for your hydraulic and mechanical type press machines.

Firstly, automated operations reduce labor expenses, but also reduce workshop accidents and the physical stresses on operators, making them more productive. Secondly, all dies can be changed without any modification allowing for the use of standardized die and press equipment, saving costs. Lastly, multiple presses can share a single Quick Die Change System, further economizing on costs and resulting in higher efficiency and productivity.

Die Cart System Layouts

Forwell can design the most practical and efficient Quick Die Change System according to your plant layout and equipment. To further improve the efficiency of your die changes, this system can be paired with Forwell’s Die Cart System to create a fully automatic die change system for your press production lines. When establishing a new production facility, please contact Forwell directly to see how beneficial a Quick Die Change System and Die Cart System can be for enhancing your productivity. Below you can see the different layout configurations possible when combining Forwell’s Quick Die Change System with Forwell’s Die Cart System:

Bidirectional Moving Cart Layout

Simultaneous 2-die change operation using two carts either side of the press. This layout allows for the fastest possible die change time.

Parallel Machine Cart Layout

Die changes are performed using a 2-die cart that serves two or more presses that are positioned along one line. This allows for a wide application of quick die changing.

Two Dies on a Moving Cart

Die Cart System with a 2-die cart for quick and automatic horizontal loading of dies.
