Power Die Change

Power Die Change Presses dramatically speed job changeover allowing die sets to be changed in less than 10 minutes. This makes the CI PDC ideal for small-lot processing.

 
Overview
 
 

Power Operated Die Set Transfer System

Die Sets are exchanged in a matter of minutes using the power operated die set transfer system. Each die set maintains full time utility connections to speed exchange and provide a means to simulate press motion during tooling set-up. A power-operated hoist is provided to assist tooling installation/removal and is large enough to use for major die set repairs if necessary. A moving floor system increases operator access during tool changes and keeps unwanted debris out of the press pit.

Key Features

  • Hybrid Press Design

    The CINCINNATI Power Die Change Compacting Press combines the speed and accuracy of a mechanical press with the controllability of a hydraulic press. This unique combination is the solution for lean manufacturing pressing requirements of complex precision PM parts.

  • Multi-Level Part Capability

    Complex PM parts with up to 8 levels can be produced on a CINCINNATI Power Die Change Compacting press using the following independent tooling levels: Outer Upper Punch, Middle Platen Punch, Inner Upper Punch, Shelf or Straight Through die, Outer Lower Punch, Middle Lower PunchInner Lower Punch, and Through, Stepped or Blind Core Rod.

  • Unique "Tri-Press Stops"

    Outer and Middle Lower Punches are supported on "Tri-Press Stops" to facilitate production of complex parts that generate off-center loading. The combination of three press stops per platen and robust guiding ensure production of precise parts using tight tolerance tooling.

  • CINCINNATI Press Control Center

    Operator-oriented fingertip programming control is provided to simplify press set-up and operation. This powerful control not only provides basic control of the press, but also performs extensive press and process monitoring. With available options, it can make on-the-fly process changes to reduce part-to-part variability within a production run.

  • CNC Platen Motion Control

    Critical Platen motions are established by generation of a Desired Motion Trace using basic part information. The color display indicates the programmed and actual traces of each lower tooling member. This speeds part development and facilitates part problem identification.
