Die gripper cranes for the automotive industry

Engineered for excellence

  • In the press shops of the automotive industry, more than a million car body parts of various shapes and sizes for multiple models are produced every day. Due to this high variance, press die set needs to be changed frequently requiring shorter press-cycles. Die grippers enable fast, compact and multi-level die storage offering a significant improvement over conventional slinging equipment such as chains or ropes.

    Our die gripper cranes are custom designed for die handling in the automotive industry and are available with intelligent sensor technology, advanced Smart Features, and a precise positioning system for the safe and efficient transport of press dies.
