ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for facilitating the installation of a dieset in a vertically reciprocating press which includes cooperating horizontal reciprocation guides to facilitate horizontal reciprocation of a dieset with translation of a continuous workpiece passing therethrough. The apparatus comprises a loading platform which is disposed in a plane substantially parallel to that defined by the uppermost surface of the reciprocating press platform. The loading platform includes an elevatable portion located centrally therein which is capable of elevating the dieset so as to achieve a proper alignment of the horizontal reciprocating guides of the dieset with cooperating horizontal reciprocating guides of the reciprocating press. In addition, the elevating platform features guides which establish a lateral alignment of cooperating reciprocating guides. An air cylinder is used to define the alternate elevations of the elevating platform. Spring operated lateral guides may be utilized to provide lateral alignment of the dieset with respect to the reciprocating press.
