COMPLETE RANGE OF QUICK DIE CHANGE SYSTEMS Reducing tool changeover time and improving work conditions Lean manufacturing solutions CHANGE YOUR TOOLS SAFELY - p. 4 PULL AND PUSH YOUR TOOLS EASILY - p. 8 Since 1985, we offer solutions to reduce tool changeover time. SMED METHODS “SINGLE MINUTE EXCHANGE OF DIE” Single minute exchange of die is one of the lean manufacturing tool concept enabling you to increase a process productivity. It’s a quick and easy way to change production type. Due to the reduction of the series changeover time, the size of the economic batch quantity is also reduced which...

Bolster extensions : light series Reducing the risk of workplace accidents APPROPRIATE MEANS TO EASILY AND EFFORTLESSLY MANIPULATE LOADS WEIGHING SEVERAL TONS LIGHT AND STURDY FAST SET-UP SAFETY STORAGE Loading a tool directly on a press bed is very dangerous using a lift cart and simply impossible to do with a crane. The bolster extension makes it possible to safely load a tool either with a lift cart or a crane. Besides making the operation safer, using an appropriate instrument will make you save a great amount of time. The bolster extensions are fitted out with rolls for heavy loads....

Always attached to the press, these bolster extensions will make you save a lot of time and will enable your operators to safely do their handling operations. The studied technical layout enables these bolster extensions to be folded during production, which leaves a free access to the area for all your intervention (handling, checking) teams. The articulation of the TCRSF/TCRDF bolster extensions makes it possible to fold them outward, contrarily to the TCRDF extension bolsters which are articulated asymmetrically and fold themselves on each other inward. In both cases, the bolster extensions...

Our bolster extensions with supporting legs are stationary or detachable with crane : - Very sturdy construction - Fitted out with two rows of rollers for the very heavy tools - Whitout mechanical links - Hydraulic synchronization system - Metallic construction - Capacity maxi : 16 tons...

BALL BEARING RAILS OR ROLLER RAILS PUSH AND PULL YOUR TOOLS EFFORTLESSLYTransfer elements for press bed with slots Moving a tool on a press bed can be a real hassle, but by integrating these segments to the press bed, the initial frictions will completely disappear. Moving your tools will be totally safe, nearly effortless and faster than ever before. You will also save time when cleaning it, as its one-piece construction prevents the shavings from piling up. Reducing MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders) MECHANICAL MODULE HYDRAULIC MODULE Above example : Maximum capacity for a 3 m segment (minimum...

Hydraulic and press clamping LEVER OPERATED MECHANICAL CLAMPS The clamp operates thanks to lever mechanically operated by a self-locking cam. The clamps were specially designed to solve the very delicate issues occurring when clamping a tool to a press bed. Tightening them with a t-shaped wrench makes it easy and effortless to reach a tightening torque going from 80 to 100 Nm that is to say a clamping force going from 12 to 25 kN. The clamping force obtained from CA clamps is usually higher than the clamping force of conventional clamping systems which is generally comprised between 6.8 and 7.2...

REDUCE TOOL CHANGEOVER TIME Magnetic clamping system THE FASTEST AND MOST RELIABLE SOLUTION ON THE MARKET EFFICIENT AND EASY TO USE SOLUTION BENEFITS : - The tool is clamped in a matter of seconds just by pushing a button. - No adjustments are needed to go from one tool size to another one. The magnetic poles adjust themselves according to the tool dimensions fitting the smallest and the biggest ones. - No maintenance operations are needed as no parts are moving. THE MOST RELIABLE SYSTEM ON THE MARKET : - The clamping strength of each magnetic pole is monitored in real time. - No risks to magnetize...

HYDRAULIC GENERATOR for roller or ball segments and for gas or hydraulic clamps MANUAL PUMP : HPMAN The manual pump is used when there is no more pneumatic power. It is both easy to set-up and to use. AFFORDABLE AND SIMPLE GENERATOR It generates hydraulic pressure of either 100 bars or 300 bars using a 6 bar compressed-air system. Perfect for setting up both ball or roller rails and nitrogen clamping. 100 HPF and 300 HPF designs : - Pressure : 100 or 300 bars - Simple circuit with foot pedal (HPF) - Double circuit with hand control (HPMD). Operated by hand : HPMS or HPMD ELECTRICALLY OPERATED...

EASY TO USE : - The lifting balls simply move up and down by the means of a manual handle - Effortless loading : when loading the tool, it slides on the lifting balls. SAFETY : - When moving the tool around, the tool sits on the cover plate and the end stopper prevents it from sliding - When sliding the tool in the press, it is important that the table is locked to the press table or to the rack. PU LU ADAPTABLE PLATE The plate by itself is available to be mounted on a table or on the forks of a lift cart. The AQBF reference is to put up the plate on a forklift while the AQBT is for a table. LIFTING...

The Push-pull system is powered by a hydraulic motor located inside the table. It is fitted out with hooks to grab the tools. Easy adjustment and clamping of the hooks position. 2 long hooks are used for the positioning of dies up to 350 mm long, into the press bolster. 2 short hooks are used for deeper tools. A sensor located in the table detects its correct positioning, in front of a press bolster or a storage rack. When in position, this sensor will allow the movement of the push-pull device. A second sensor will detect the push-pull back position, so the cart is allowed to move away. This...
