Abstract: An automated die transfer system for location adjacent to one end of a press brake bed. It includes an upper and lower tier storage rack for storing a die, or for transferring a die to a press brake bed. The racks may have different widths, and rollers spaced along their length. A wheeled carriage on rails carries the storage rack. A first drive motor moves the carriage horizontally along the tracks, while a second drive motor is linked to a drive for raising and lowering the storage rack. A control system, which includes a multi-axis axis control, is connected to both motors. The control panel is mounted on a hinged support arm. In use, the control panel is pivoted to the front of the press brake, turned on, and the multi-axis control is used to control the first drive motor to move the carriage into alignment with one end of a press brake bed, and is then used to control the second drive motor to cause the storage rack to move vertically adjacent to the end of the press brake bed.
