Die cutting tolerances

Is anyone aware of a tolerance chart for die cutting solid rubber sheet? The only info I see in the ARPM standard is for sponge.

Adjustable height platforms

Anyone have experience with adjustable height platforms for operators at presses? We have a wide range of heights we need to accommodate to make our operations more ergonomic. We would like the up/down adjustment to be easy and quick.

Mold Change Cart

Is anyone using a mold change system that they really like? We are looking to reduce the strain on our setup people by having the mold change system do the push/pull of the mold into and out of the press.

Thanks,

OSHA compliant blow off nozzle

We use these a lot for demolding and removing flash and runners from molds. We would prefer something with a rubber or non marrin...
