摘要

The invention is a die (22b) for an industrial press (1) arranged with a wireless communication device (14) and a contactless power supply (10, 12). Power and/or control cables are not necessary between a stationary press and the die or other moving part arranged with the press. One or more sensors on the moving part of the die may be contactlessly powered and wirelessly controlled.
