S-Rail
Stationary roller rails that move extra-heavy dies safely and predictably.
In the context of quick die change (QDC) systems, a heavy-duty S-rail is a stationary rail system designed for handling and storing extra-heavy dies. These rails are typically made of durable steel and feature rollers with a high load capacity, enabling them to withstand the impact of loading and unloading heavy dies.
Key Features
- Rollers sized for very high loads (e.g., up to ~8,000 lb per roller)
- Rugged steel construction
- Protects dies and press from prying and skidding damage
- Reduces operator strain with low rolling resistance
- Improves changeover repeatability and speed
Who it's for
- Large presses and extra-heavy dies
- Repeatable, straight-line die transfers
