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 pair of conveyors disposed on laterally opposed sides of the lower die, with each of the conveyors having hands for engaging successive workpieces and indexing the workpieces longitudinally of the lower die between the die stations. At least one of the conveyors is mounted to a fixed support base for selectively swinging such conveyor laterally away from the lower die to afford operator access to such conveyor and the lower die.
