Amada's Quick Change Single "V" Dies dramatically reduce set-up time on the press brake machine.

This saving relies upon the setting of the die holder onto the bottom main beam only once. Once this is set, the individual single "V" dies can be then located into position.

When an exchange of die is required, the die is changed quickly by simply lifting out the used die and dropping the new die into position within the die holder. The time consuming exercise of fixing bolts to the holder is eliminated thus decreasing the set-up time and increasing productivity.

The advantage of using single "V" tooling over double "V" tooling is that it enables the user to form components, where otherwise not possible due to the complex cross-section of the component.
