Construction:
The unit is constructed of structural steel, tubing and plate members welded into a heavy duty unit suitable for industrial applications. The unit will consist of a lower bed frame, a rotating upper bed assembly and the structural frame weldment.

Lower Bed Frame:
This assembly will be equipped with Air-Bag Die Lifters in bottom plate to allow dies to be loaded and unloaded via die cart or fork truck. The bed will be equipped with mounting pins to position the Die on the centerline. Once the Die is located in position, clamps will be mounted to secure the Die to the bed.

Rotating Upper Bed:
The upper bed will be used to separate and rotate the upper Die half. The bed will raise and lower on four (4) covered ball screws mounted within the structural frame of the separator. In addition the bed will rotate 180 degrees. The bed will be equipped with a helicalibevel gear drive arrangement providing the rotation for the bed. The upper bed will lower for closing the die after rotation.

Installation:
The unit will be designed for easy field installation. Provisions will be made in each bed assembly for final adjustments and shimming as required for proper alignment of each bed section. Provisions will be made in the base of the separator for anchoring to the floor. Details for mounting to be developed at approval drawing stage. Installation will be done by the customer in his facility. Installation instructions to be provided by the manufacturer prior to delivery of the equipment.

Testing:
The unit will be completely assembled and operated at the manufacturing facility prior to shipment. A full load and operational test of the equipment will be performed prior to shipment. The customer will be invited to witness the test of the equipment and provide acceptance of the equipment prior to shipment. LTS will require a die from the customer at test time.
