Quick Die & Mold Change
For die change efficiency and precise positioning of dies to press, these trucks feature an individually or tandem controlled push/pull mechanism. To maximize truck to press efficiencies, we have optimized both sight and maneuverability through our clear view masts and tighter turning radius design. The QDC’s “V” docking system, with either hydraulic or mechanical docking capabilities, provide consistent and secure alignment of the die truck to presses and storage station. Integrated with our Fiber-Optic camera system, operators perform this docking operation with greater visibility, confidence, and efficiency which effectively eliminates repeated truck repositioning to press, providing a rapid return on investment.
