3 Fundamentals of press design

Fine blanking
pallets reach the stacking feeder. An accumulating roller conveyor transports
the pre-perforated blanks to the indexed press transfer unit which
transports them through three die stations. On the outfeed side of the
press, the finished synchronous tapered plates are fed via a buffer conveyor
towards the stacking unit and the scrap is disposed of separately.
The loaded pallets then travel via an accumulating roller conveyor
towards the height-adjustable removal point.
Outside the press, the dies are prepared on a die change cart (cf.
Fig. 3.4.2). The three individual die modules are mounted on a common
die change plate. This system permits automatic die change to be completed
in a matter of minutes.
