• Reliable and repeatable operation: 100% repeatable accurate die positioning
• Immediate and short operation: Up to 40% extra production capacity gains
• Improved safety: 0 human presence during die transfers to/from the press, 0 human presence close to a hot die during any handling
• Controlled cooling of the dies : No risk of abnormal wear

HDL-F

• During the on-going production, a next die can be introduced and pre-heated in a dedicated furnace. In the meanwhile, the previous die can go on cooling, then be extracted. All die transfers are automatically performed by the Hot Die Loader.
• The press, the HDL and the ancillary equipment are enclosed in a safe and controlled area: the HDL cell. (For production, the operator side of the press is outside the cell)
• As soon as the on-going production is completed, on request of the press operator, the die is transferred to a cooling station and the next die is transferred from the pre-heating furnace to the press to start the next production.
