Pax Die Doors

Pax die doors enclose the point of operation on mechanical power presses to contain fluids and flying objects. They are also act as interlocked barrier guards when fully closed.

If you’re concerned with the overall safety aspect of your press room and are having problems with containing and controlling die lubricant around your press then consider Pax Die Doors as a part of the solution. Like Pax lubrication systems and low profile conveyors, Pax Die Doors were developed by the Pax stamping division.

Machined channel and delrin rollers provide guidance and smooth operation.

Die Door Types

Manual & Powered Vertically Sliding Doors

The standard Pax Die Door is non-acoustical and manually operated and requires very little effort to open and close. Pax Die Doors provide an interlocked point-of-operation safety barrier and are designed to assist with containing and controlling die lubricants.

Swing Out Style Doors

The Pax Die Door can be designed with an air cylinder to assist in the operation of the door. By adding a single air cylinder, the Pax door may be controlled via a switch. By utilizing the counterbalance weights in conjunction with the air cylinder, minimal air pressure is required for operating the door. This option may be required for larger press applications and applications that are too high for the operator to completely open and close the door manually.

Acoustical Die Door Option

Pax offers an Acoustical Die Door option for those companies concerned with noise associated with stamping presses.
