Magnetic Quick-Die-Change Systems
Hilma, Ellisville, MO, introduces the M-Tecs manual, magnetic quick-die-change system. Use M-Tecs apparatus to clamp existing dies without retooling. Since mag- netic clamping force is evenly distributed throughout the base of the die, die move- ment is minimized and tool wear reduced,
minimizing die-maintenance costs. Permanent double magnet technology allows clamp forces to be maintained with- out the need for power—power is only needed to clamp and unclamp. Safe clamp- ing is ensured thanks to a multi-level safety system, including a double current sensor, LED diagnostic panel, multi-step clamp/ unclamp process, detaching sensor and die-position limit switches. The magnetic platens are custom designed to suit the application, and the magnetic press bolster can be
designed to incorporate Hilma die lifters and bolster extensions.
