The problem: Opening, leveling, closing, un-jamming and trying out dies used to form sheet metal in the automotive and appliance industries.
Using cranes, pry bars or unsynchronized or crudely synchronized jacks or jacking systems to attempt to handle dies often results in damage to the die cutting edges and or forming surfaces, punches, and guide pins.
Our Die Separators use a mechanical method of synchronizing the travel of the jacks to very accurately keep the upper and lower die shoes parallel. The machine also automatically adjusts for die jack pockets that are not identical in opening height. The operator does not have to manually enter any information about the die.
The accuracy of the machine allows it to be used to try out the die before releasing it for production.
Once installed in the die, the upper shoe can be raised and lowered almost indefinitely without loss of parallelism.
A sophisticated PLC, motor speed control/protection device, electronic pressure and position sensors monitor the operation of the machine. Operation at excessive pressure is prevented, as is over-travel of the jacks, both in raising and lowering, ensuring that the die shoes stay parallel, and allowing the operator to devote their attention to the movement of the die, knowing that the machine will stop it's operation before parallelism is affected.
Filtration against oil contamination is provided. Annual maintenance consists of oil change and dirt seal replacement on the jacks.
A rugged 8" or 10" color display screen provides specific operating instructions at the appropriate time to the operator, and takes the place of hydraulic gauges and written instructions, allowing inexperienced personnel to operate the machine safely and productively.
