• Smarter Die Maintenance Solutions for Modern Manufacturing (Jun 03, 2025)
  With Care, Precision, and Safety
  In high-performance manufacturing, equipment must not only operate efficiently — it must also be maintained with the same level of precision and care. For production teams, especially those working with costly dies, ensuring smooth, safe, and reliable maintenance is essential. That’s where EAS Change Systems steps in.
  
  As a leading innovator in tool-changing systems, EAS has developed a robust line of die splitters tailored to the evolving needs of modern production. These machines allow press dies to be safely opened, inspected, and serviced with minimal downtime and maximum operator protection.
  
  “Our new generation of die splitters was designed in response to rising industry demands,” says Vincent Nijzink, CEO of EAS Change Systems. “They’re built to be as versatile as the range of dies they handle—supporting everything from compact tools to large-scale, high-precision dies used in aerospace and automotive manufacturing.”
  
  Tailored Versatility
  What sets EAS die splitters apart is their adaptability. Each unit is engineered based on the die’s size, weight, and the specific steps users need during maintenance. Whether dealing with lighter dies that benefit from a small, energy-efficient footprint or large, complex tools requiring full hydraulic support, EAS delivers a tailored solution.
  
  A good example of this versatility is a custom-built 30-ton splitter system designed for a major aerospace manufacturer. Featuring a cart with hydraulic docking and tilting table, the system includes safety scanners that monitor the surroundings during movement. Its operation is handled by a state-of-the-art PLC and touchscreen HMI, ensuring safe, accurate, and user-friendly control.
  
  In the automotive sector, a 40-ton splitter was developed to manage over 110 different dies for an electric vehicle manufacturer—proving that even high-variation production environments can benefit from streamlined, safe maintenance operations.
  
  Designed for Safety and Simplicity
  Operator safety is a central design priority. With tightening safety regulations worldwide, many maintenance departments are shifting toward equipment that minimizes manual handling and human error. EAS die splitters offer full compliance, using technologies like safety scanners, guided positioning, and automation to protect users throughout the process.
  Despite their technical sophistication, the machines are designed for single-operator control, reducing the need for large maintenance teams and lowering labor costs.
  Here’s how it works:

  • The die is loaded onto the splitter’s bolster using a crane or forklift.
  • It’s automatically centered, and the top platen is lifted, rotated (up to 180°), and placed next to the bottom section.
  • Each platen can be moved independently to allow full access for inspection and repair.
  • Movements are powered by electric and/or hydraulic systems with ball-bearing screws and encoder feedback for perfect alignment.

  
  More Than Maintenance
  Beyond routine servicing, EAS die splitters can also be used to test mechanical operations or to support tool changes. Their high level of precision and custom clamping systems allow for easy adaptation to various tool designs, reducing setup complexity.
  
  “Thanks to our engineering experience,” Nijzink notes, “we know how to make our equipment safe, cost-effective, and smart—in that specific order.”
  
  With minimal footprint, automated handling, and broad compatibility, these systems are not just machines—they're investments in productivity, tool longevity, and workplace safety.

  The smart, space-saving alternative for efficient die changes
  
  In today’s competitive landscape, manufacturers face mounting pressure to improve productivity while minimizing costs. Staying ahead means optimizing every aspect of your production process — and one critical area is the efficiency of die changes. That’s where EAS Change Systems steps in with a practical, cost-effective solution:
  
  Why Bolster Extensions?
  EAS bolster extensions offer a safer, faster, and more affordable alternative to die change tables, die carts, or forklifts — especially in hard-to-access press areas. Whether motorized or manual, these systems significantly reduce changeover time, enhance operational flexibility, and improve workplace safety. Less time spent on changeovers means shorter production cycles, reduced labor requirements, and smaller batch sizes — giving you greater control over output and scheduling.
  
  What Are Bolster Extensions?
  Bolster extensions are mechanical or motorized rollers mounted to the press, allowing for horizontal loading and unloading of dies in vertical presses. EAS offers a wide range of “EPR - Pre-Rollers” to suit different die weights, sizes, and press configurations.
  Mounted as a matched set, these extensions widen the press’s side access and are built with hardened steel and precision needle roller bearings for high load capacity. Dies can be smoothly transferred using a cart, crane, or forklift.
  For even heavier or more frequent die transfers, EAS offers the EPRM — the Motorized Version. With an integrated electric drive, it allows operators to push or pull dies in and out effortlessly. This motorized unit can be used across multiple presses, making it a flexible and scalable solution.

  When to Choose a Motorized Bolster Extension vs. Die Change Table?
  
  Opt for a Motorized Bolster Extension if you need:

  • A cost-effective alternative to a full die change table.
  • A more affordable solution for light to mid-weight molds.
  • Easy removal and reattachment to the press.
  • Access to the press at the bolster extension location.
  • Low die transfer height (ideal for vertical presses).
  • Compatibility with forklift-assisted loading.
  • Efficient handling for dies up to 25 tons (above that, a die change table is more economical).

  Choose a Die Change Table if you require:

  • A stable, enclosed solution for handling diverse dies.
  • Maximum safety with guarded working zones and integrated transport cars.
  • A fully integrated electric interface with the press.
  • Unrestricted table access for tooling and setup.
  • A solution suitable for all die sizes and weights, particularly above 25 tons.
