To increase efficiency in press shops processing large sheet metal components, Roemheld has introduced a new carrying console with an electric chain drive for changing forming dies weighing up to 50 tonnes.

With the introduction of a new carrying console Roemheld has increased maximum weight that can be handled by more than half from 32 to 50 tonnes. This is possible due to the electrically actuated chain drive and support feet.
It is intended for shortening set-up times when changing over batch runs in press shops where components are formed from large metal sheet, such as in the automotive supply chain. The equipment is either dedicated to one press and fixed in position, or supplied as a mobile unit on wheels to allow it to be easily transported between different presses. Special customised solutions can also be ordered, including for handling even heavier loads.
Once at the machine, the carrying console's integrated docking system, which is equipped with a hydraulic lifting column and foot lever for easy adjustment, ensures that it is firmly attached to the press before a die is placed onto it by a forklift or crane. The integrated chain drive moves the die at up to two meters per minute to its final position in the press via integrated roller and ball bars, positioning it with millimetre precision.
The equipment is available in different versions suitable for almost any type of press. It may be factory-fitted in the case of a new installation or retrofitted to existing presses. The compact design makes it particularly suitable for use when the press bed is low or where space is limited.
By integrating sensors and stops, the console can be easily integrated into a partially or fully automated process, either via the power press control or a separate, optional control system.
