Quick Die Change Systems, Die Handling, Die Transport Carts & Tables
For our entire 60 year history, Atlas has focused on die handling and the movement of heavy sheet metal and dies during the stamping process. Our quick die change systems solve pressroom production problems with proven press room automation equipment. Atlas' die transfer carts and die tables are world renowned, providing consistently controlled movement of heavy, oversized loads, each designed to customer specifications. Atlas is a full service facility with the tools, talent, and experience to provide objective, engineering-based studies. We examine the alternatives to find the most productive and cost-effective mix of manual and automated operations, tailored to each customer's requirements.
Quick Die Change Systems
Atlas designs and builds the most comprehensive range of quick die change systems in the industry, engineered to reduce changeover from hours to minutes. Our Die Change Systems are used in hundreds of installations for fast, accurate and safe die or mold changeover. They provide controlled movement and positioning of dies in stamping presses or press lines, via pendant or line controls. Die Change Systems utilizing powered die transfer carts and integrated die racks, can be used in applications ranging from a single press or multiple independent presses, to sister tandem lines.
With an Automated Die Change System, handling of heavy dies becomes highly efficient and manageable. Die change is reduced from hours to minutes. Scheduling for reduced inventory becomes practical…Just-in-Time becomes possible. Stock piles disappear and response time quickens. Potential damage to dies is reduced, while providing the ability to efficiently pull and inspect dies. And most importantly, Die Change Systems increase press production time! Systems can be paired with our die storage and retrieval systems for automated vertical storage.
Powered Die Transfer Carts
Atlas has been a pioneer in die change and die handling technology. We have become an industry leader in heavy and large powered die transfer cart based floor handling systems over the last 60 years, providing 800 and counting installations around the world. Our innovative and robust engineering practices are the highest of quality, to the point that Atlas “is” the benchmark in reliability and maintainability.
The engineering architecture of our transfer carts are modular, scalable and flexible. Transporting heavy and large loads will seem effortless with our Atlas Die Transfer Cart featuring a hand held manual operator pendant. Our transfer cart design allows us to provide the perfect solution to a diverse group of customers, throughout numerous industries. Die change is supported by our die lifters, clamps, and bolster extensions for smooth, safe die movement.
Die T-Tables
Atlas Die T-Tables combine our die cart and rack technology into one quick die change solution. The long rack portion contains a conveyance device and is divided by a center die table section complete with a push/pull module. The incoming die is delivered to station 1 and conveyed to station 3 for pre-staging while awaiting changeover. The outgoing die is then pulled to station 2. The conveyor indexes both dies to the left, moving the outgoing die to station 1 for pick up and the incoming die to station 2, and then into the press. Atlas T-Tables provide a complete, cost-effective die change capability where floor space or economic constraints prohibit the use of die carts.
Die Tables
Atlas Die Tables use a combination of push/pull modules and powered conveyors to automatically load and unload dies to and from a press. The tables are often paired with elevating die carts for automatic die storage and retrieval, streamlining die handling across the pressroom. The table height is adjustable and can service two adjacent presses of varying heights. The die table itself is moved by a fork truck or crane.
