LOADING AND UNLOADING IN SHUTTLE GTHLE > Design versatility for practical applications DILOS SHUTTLE is suitable as aflexibly configurable solution to the problems associated withdie changing automationthrough to the complete confi- guration of a press line or press shop.A tandem DILOS SHUTTLE ensures minimum changing times and requires no die changing platforms, as no load shifting is necessary for un-loading and loading.On presses arranged in line andoperating in combination, quickdie-changing can be carried out simultaneously and in the shor- test possible time using the ܔpush-through technique....

The die changing transporter,DILOS SHUTTLE, is suitable for die weights from 4 to 40 t .The rail-mounted DILOS SHUTT-LE travels back and forth bet- ween the die preparation and The frequent changing of press tools from once a week up toseveral times a day during shift operation ֖ often means incalcu-lably high machine downtime. This problem can be expected to increase as the market demands more and more flexibility, even from presses. The normal tool changing times to date can now be significantly reduced, however, by the creation of a suitable tool changing periphery. die transfer positions....

5 When using die baseplates ofthe same size > 4 213 , these are guidedby lateral guide rails (1) when the die is pushed onto the shuttle table or press table.For additional or exclusive useof dies with baseplates of diffe- rent sizes, the DILOS SHUTTLE is equipped with an additionalguide keyway (2) for die T-blocks.The press table is expedientlyequipped with SWT-rollbloc rol- ler strips (3) for gentle pushing of the dies.The use of standardized sub-plates combined with the SWT-SlipGrip guiding and clamping elements (see rearcover) offers a technological alternative. > 6 For die transfer, the...

standardized sub-plates and hydraulic SWT clamping techniques > frequentlyproves to be the most flexible and future-oriented technology. > The attainment of the shortestpossible downtime is a majorcalculation factor for invest- ment in new machines. If the conventional die changing pro- cedure is retained, no signifi- cant improvements can beachieved in overcoming familiarbottleneck situations. Extremely short changing timesare made possible by the use of DILOS SHUTTLE, supplemented by corresponding clamping de- vices.
