Die-Part®


Fit, test and repair dies "off-the-press" safely, conveniently and  in minimum time.

Die-Part facilitates the construction and maintenance of die sets by affording complete accessibility.  Punch and die sets as well as molds are separated and refitted accurately without disturbing original alignments or losing valuable press time.

In operation, a die set is arranged on the center platen and clamped in position.  After lowering the upper platen, the punch holder is clamped to it.  The elevating crank raises the upper platen separating the punch holder and die. 

Turning the upper crank rotates the upper platen to a convenient position for corrective work.  To refit the die set the procedure is reversed.

Die-Part is available in five standard models for a wide range of die sets and mold sizes.  Custom sizes are also available to suit specific needs or unusual requirements.
