ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a die repositioning mechanism useful for repositioning dies on the bed of a power operated press. It is particularly useful in preventing unwanted rotation of elongated non-symmetrical dies as they are lifted from the press bed. The mechanism includes a torque limiter carried at each end of the elongated die and a C-hook for connecting the die to the press ram in order to lift the die with the upstroke with the ram of the press. Adjustment of the torque limiter to retard or prevent rotation of the elongated die as it is lifted permits a single person to safely reposition the desired working face of the die on the press bed.
