Die-Handling Solutions: Precision-Engineered Systems for Transfer Cart Applications

Die-Handling Solutions: Precision-Engineered Systems for Transfer Cart Applications

Die-handling applications play an important role in industries such as the automotive industry. To keep processes moving quickly and efficiently, heavy dies must be moved by floor-based transfer carts safely, as the equipment typically weighs hundreds of tons.

💡 Key Takeaway

Movement must be precise and consistent to promote safety. Demag offers complete solutions by providing specialized industrial drive systems for die-handling applications.

Our Driven Wheel Solutions for Transfer Carts in Die-Handling Environments

Demag offers a wide range of products, all contributing to a complete driven wheel system.Our motor types and wheel block systems work in tandem, eliminating the need to source different products from multiple partners.

Motors for Heavy-Load Transfer Cart Movement

For the movement of extremely heavy machinery, our motor technology delivers the power and durability required, while also providing precise braking control. The models we provide include:

Modular Gear Motors for High-Efficiency Operations

Nearly endless combinations of gear ratio and standard components for high capacities, travel speed, and precision with Demag Gear Motors

Our modular gear motors support highly efficient operations by working hand-in-hand with our motor systems. Our wide range of gear motors provides unique advantages for your application needs:

Wheel Block Systems Engineered for Accuracy

Demag wheel solutions are protected by the wheel block housing to eliminate external influences.

Configure our wheel block systems to work with your motion requirements. We offer wheel block systems built to endure harsh environments, including those in  the automotive industry:

Material Flow Solutions for Die-Handling Systems

Demag’s complete driven wheel solutions deliver the power that drives die-handling transfer cart movement. Common in the automotive industry, transfer carts move extremely heavy dies in and out of press machinery.

These systems can handle loads of up to 100 tons (90,700 kgin both X and Y directions.

Movement must also align precisely with presses, requiring highly accurate start and stop control. Demag’s motor, gear motor, and wheel block systems all work in unison to enable this type of push-pull movement.

Our driven wheel solutions power die-handling equipment and perform reliably across a wide range of industries, with flexible designs that can be adapted to specific standards.
