ABSTRACT:
A combination tool exchanger and storage device adapted to be fitted to a die cutter for exchanging and storing a plurality of profiled cutter dies each having a cutter blade of a different configuration. The die cutter is for cutting a sheet-like material by urging the sheet-like material against a selected one of the profiled cutter dies retained within a cutter die mounting chamber. The combination tool exchanger and storage device includes retaining arms for holding one of the profiled cutter dies so as to confront a first entrance leading to the cutter die mounting chamber and for sliding the profiled cutter die horizontally towards the cutter die mounting chamber, a cutter die storage chamber disposed above or below the die cutter, and an elevator unit for selectively driving the retaining arms between a first position aligned with the first entrance leading to the cutter mounting chamber and a second position aligned with a second entrance leading to the cutter die storage chamber.
