ROEMHELD at Euroblech: set-up time optimizer presents innovations in die clamping and changing technology
· Integrated solutions from the rack to the press
Laubach, August 28, 2024. ROEMHELD will present various innovations designed to optimize set-up times on presses and punches at Euroblech. A new hollow piston cylinder, which can be flexibly adapted to dies with clamping edges of different heights, will make its trade fair début.
Other new innovations are the pull-push chain systems with several control options. They are available in various standardized versions as “quick and simple plug & play packages”.
A redesigned arch clamp will also be on display for the first time. And yet another highlight will be the wide range of die changing carts.
ROEMHELD will present a comprehensive overview of its full range of die change solutions along with its new products at Euroblech from October 22 to 25, 2024, in Hanover, Hall 27 at Booth K65.
Innovative hollow piston cylinder for dies with clamping edges of different heights
The new hollow piston cylinder clamps dies with clamping edges of different heights. This makes forming work easier, especially for contract manufacturers who use different, non-standardized die clamping edges.
According to the manufacturer, the unrivalled element can be used for clamping edges with a difference in level of up to 30 mm. The desired height can be set in increments of 1 mm. The new hollow piston cylinder offers clamping forces of 60 or 100 kN and can be used with an operating pressure of up to 400 bar.
From a single source: new pull-push chain system for plug & play
The new pull-push chain system for loading presses and punches is suitable for almost all application scenarios and dies up to 40 tonnes. It can be installed either directly on the system or on a rail-bound transport system. Alternatively, for loading by crane, it can be integrated into a manually or electrically driven die changing console.
The pull-push chain system is available as a complete solution in various standardized versions and with different control variants. Since all components are designed to work together, the manufacturer promises a quick and simple “plug & play” installation.
New arch clamp for superior operating and process reliability
For the first time at Euroblech, ROEMHELD will exhibit the new, redesigned arch clamp for dies with straight clamping edges. It is suitable for dirty, hot environments up to 250° C on press beds and rams in sheet metal forming, and in die casting and forging applications. A special, long-lasting corrosion-resistant coating ensures excellent sliding properties. As a result, the bolt releases effortlessly even under the most demanding use.
The arch clamp is available in seven versions each with or without position monitoring for superior process reliability. An integrated mechanical locking bolt holds the upper die reliably, even in the event of pressure loss.
Wide range of carts for changing dies
The extensive range of transport carts for changing dies includes models for loads between 500 kg and 40 tonnes. There are manually movable models with small turning radii for narrow aisles and short distances to larger free-moving versions for loads of up to 8 tonnes and rail-bound systems that connect different halls to one another. Smaller models are available with or without an integrated auxiliary drive.
All transport carts offer a standardized docking system adapted to the respective press, which ensures safe transfer of the die to the machine. Hydraulically lowerable ball bars on the transport surfaces make it easier to move the dies.
