A 32-page brochure from Serapid Inc., Sterling Heights, MI, catalogs the firm’s quick-die-change (QDC) offerings—clamping, positioning and transporting equipment. Transporters range from simple die carts to rail-bound die shuttles, and die rollers and lifters enable smooth movement of dies into their clamping positions. The brochure offers a step-by-step guide to building a QDC system, including specifying rolling elements and bolster extensions, fixed or removable clamps and hydraulic systems.
