Large press brakes used in manufacturing often utilize a variety of die shapes and sizes. The dies typically come in top-and-bottom pairs and are frequently too heavy to be interchanged manually. This lift allows dies to be slid into a tool holder, rotated to the correct orientation, and lifted into position. A T-slot retains upper dies featuring safety tangs, and straps secure lower dies having standard tangs. Docking features on the end-effector and press brakes ensure proper alignment and allow the operators to safely load the dies into the machine.
