PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for adjusting the tension of extrusion die fasteners.SOLUTION: There is provided a fastener tension adjustment assembly of an extrusion die that includes a first die body portion and a second die body portion. The extrusion die can have a lip body connected to one of the two die body portions using the plurality of fasteners. In one configuration, the fastener tension adjustment assembly has an elongated body operatively connected to each of the plurality of fasteners. The fastener tension adjustment assembly is movable towards and away from the lip body, and thereby can simultaneously adjust the amount of force applied to each of the plurality of fasteners. Because the fastener tension adjustment assembly can simultaneously adjust the amount of force on each of the plurality of fasteners, it can reduce time consumed for fastener-by-fastener adjustments on the extrusion die.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4B |
