1 PPS,
2 tables.

Single-stage die cart on rails with PPS
  1. The old die is pushed out of the press and onto the die handling cart. The cart brings it to the depositing table on the right.
  2. The cart now moves to the table on the left, picks up the new tool and brings it to the press, where the die loader pulls it into its operating position.
1 PPS,
1 double-stage die cart on rails.

Double-stage die cart on rails with PPS
  1. The old die is pushed out of the press and onto the die cart's empty stage (in this example, the one on the right). The cart brings it to the depositing table on the right.
  2. The cart now moves to the right, to position its other stage, holding the new die, in front of the press. The loader pulls the die into its operating position. the cart may now bring the old die to the storage.
1 PPS,
2 single-stage die carts on rails.

  1. The cart on the left brings the new die. It moves on rails approaching the press from the side. The other cart, equipped with a push-pull unit, gets the old die out of the press. It then moves backwards on its rails, which run straight to the press.
  2. The cart with the new die now moves in front of the press, so that it stands exactly between the press and the cart holding the old die.
  3. The push-pull unit on the second cart pushes the new tool into the press.
  4. The cart that first brought the nex die now brings the old die back to the storage

Domino Die Change System
  1. A Domino Die Change System serves serveral presses in a line, changing dies in each of them simultaneously.First, the die carts move in fornt of their respective presses, each one carrying the appropriate new die. In addition, one empty cart moves to the rear of the last press.
  2. Carts and press bolsters are perfectly in line. New dies are now pusched into their presses, and, in turn, push old dies onto the carts on the rear of these presses. This is the Domino move.
  3. The carts move back again and bring the old dies to the storage
