Method of changing stamping die sets

摘要

In a stamping operation using several presses, a new group of dies must be substituted for an old group of dies in a rapid manner for efficient use of the press line. A method for rapid exchange of dies includes: loading and unloading a die sets on to and off of transporter carts in a remote area from the presses to permit press operation during this time; moving the carts and new die sets into positions adjacent the presses; simultaneously moving an old die set out of a press and onto the cart and moving a new die set off of the cart and into another adjacent press.
