Storage rack for use with a break press

摘要

A storage rack for use with a break press is capable of holding dies in a manner whereby each die can be readily transferred directly from the storage rack to the break press. The storage rack comprises a central shaft capable of vertical movement and a set of horizontal tiers fixedly secured to the central shaft to move vertically therewith and also to rotate therewith. Each tier has at least two support rails to hold dies. A die for use in the break press is positioned juxtaposed a die bolster of the break press by vertically moving the tier and revolving it. It is transferred readily by sliding it from the storage rack's support rail to the break press's die bolster.
