The insert holder for forging on an open die forging hammer.

The die holder is clamped on the anvil bed using a Feuerbacher tensioning key.

The die inserts are clamped into the die holder using wedges.

For changeovers the arrangement allows rapid replacement of the die insert or of the complete die holder.

To counteract the tendency for the die to tilt the angles of
the clamping key are in this case 20° on the die side and 5°
on the die holder side.

As an alternative to using a wedge system for clamping the upper die holder a Feuerbacher tensioning key could be used.

To prevent collision between the Feuerbacher tensioning key and the bridge structure of the hammer the length of the Feuerbacher tensioning key used must be such that it does not protrude beyond the side faces of the die holder.
