Push Chain Direct System with Push-pull System

electrically driven, with push chain drive, die weight up to 40 t
 

Application

The push chain direct system is adapted directly to the press and is suitable for handling
heavy dies easily and quickly. The push chain direct system can be easily installed as it requires little space. Thus, it is ideally suited for both retrofitting and new constructions.

Advantages

• Safe, non-destructive die change of heavy dies
• Small space requirement
• Placement behind the press makes optimum use of the unused space (The press remains accessible from the front)
• High levels of automation can be achieved
• Can be combined with existing changing technology
• Two control variants with many options
• Modular design
• Simple operation via remote control
• Bevel gear motor

Description

The push chain direct system enables dies to be changed safely so that employees do not
have to move about in the danger zone. The integrated pull-push chain allows the user to
automatically extend and retract the die at the push of a button. The dies are moved at
a speed of 33 mm/s. Moving at creep speed enables precise positioning of the dies in the
press table. Different automation levels can be achieved with the option of direct integration
into the machine control or two optional control variants. The push chain direct system makes it possible to combine different changing systems with minimal installation space.

Function

The push chain direct system is installed at the back of the machine table. The die is coupled to the push chain using a die adapter. The push chain direct system allows the user to automatically retract, position, and extend the die at the push of a button on a remote control. An absolute encoder can be used to integrate sensors (for millimetre-precise die positioning) and possible stops into the control system.
