ABSTRACT:
A die transfer system that includes a lower die, an upper die carried for reciprocal movement toward and away from the lower die to perform at least one operation on a workpiece positioned therebetween, and a conveyor arrangement for sequentially conveying workpieces between the dies. The conveyor arrangement includes a conveyor disposed on at least one lateral side of the lower die having hands for engaging successive workpieces and indexing the workpieces longitudinally of the lower die between the die stations. The conveyor is mounted on a wheeled cart carried by a support base, such as a bolster or the plant floor. The wheeled cart is selectively releasably fastened to the support base in such a way that the cart, and the conveyor carried by the cart, may be moved away from the lower die for operator access to the conveyor, and the upper and lower dies.
