Tool changing wagon
up to 20 tons

The Task

Handling

Tools of a press should be changed fast, precise and safely.

The solution

The tools in the tool warehouse are removed from the storage area with the help of an indoor crane and placed on the tool changing wagon. The tool changing waggon runs on rails and the tool for the appropriate press is activated by pressing the dead man‘s switch for the corresponding press.

The Positioning in front of the press is automatically controlled via inductive sensors. After the tool changing wagon has been locked on the ground, the roll bracket extends out. The tool is pushed in the tool holder of the press by a linear chain.
Once the tool is in position, first the linear chain and then the roller console moves back to the tool changing wagon. Then the lock can be opened and the tool changing wagon can be driven into the parking position.
