ABSTRACT:
A rack and die mover including a die rack frame having a storage structure attached thereto for holding a plurality of elongated dies in a substantially horizontal orientation. A lateral translating mechanism is attached to the frame so that when dies are placed thereon they can be moved to one side of the frame over toward the pressbrake machine where they can be slid onto or off from the pressbrake machine. A mechanism is also provided for selectively adjusting the vertical position of the lateral translating mechanism with respect to the frame whereby it can be used to transfer a die to or from a machine at more than one vertical level. A lift frame is provided which has arms thereon for extending under the elongated dies for lifting them up off of either the storage rack or up off of the lateral translating mechanism. The frame is movable toward the die rack and away from the die rack frame so that the raising or lowering function can occur without interference with the other dies on the die rack frame or with the lateral translating mechanism.
