Systems and methods for loading and/or unloading a die (ODn) in a press (Pn) are disclosed. A handling system for loading a die (ODn) comprises a linear sliding path (10) between a supply position (20) outside the press (Pn) and a press position (30) on the press base, configured to support a die (ODn) such that the die (ODn) is displaceable while it is supported on the path (10), and a robot (Rn) configured to displace the die (ODn) between the supply position (20) and the press position (30) along the linear sliding path (10). A method may comprise providing a robot (Rn) for loading workpieces in the press (Pn), providing a linear sliding path (10) between a supply position (20) outside the press (Pn) and a press position (30) on the press base, placing a die (ODn) in the supply position, and displacing the die (ODn) on the linear sliding path (10), from the supply position (20) to the press position (30), by means of the robot (Rn). |
