On an Italtech 2500 t injection moulding machine EAS delivered the horizontal
hydraulic adaptive clamping systems and a mould change table for moulds of
maximum weight of 40 t. Guides on the table allow the crane driver to easily
position the large mould in a simple way on the table. An air driven push-pull
spindle device moves the mould in and out the machine. All water, hydraulic and
electric connections are made with manual multi coupler systems.
A Windsor 3000 t injection moulding machine is equipped with an adaptive
horizontal hydraulic clamping system, an ejector coupler, automatic multi couplers
and a mould change table for one mould of maximum weight of 35 t.
The operator controls manually the different steps of the mould change.
Single station mould change tables dedicated to
an injection moulding machine. They are used
when horizontal loading is required and moulds
are changed infrequently or space is not available
for two station mould change tables (see the next
pages for multi station tables).
These tables can use a manual or powered transfer mechanism
depending on mould weight to load and unload the machine.
The powered transfer can be equipped with an automatic
push button control.
When using a single station change table you must first pull
the mould from the machine and remove it from the table
by overhead crane or fork lift truck. The new mould is then
positioned on the table roller deck. The new mould is then
pushed into the machine. These tables are used in conjunction
with clamp and roller systems in the press (see page 12 & 13).
The time required to do a complete mould change is depending
on the size and weight of the mould. For example, a 40 t
mould could be changed in less then 20 minutes.
A table for 1 x 20 t mould with on one side the rollers with mould guidings, while
on the other rollers moulds with different dimensions can be placed.
This table has a fixed operation panel. This table also features two guides
to enable the crane operator to position the mould easily on the table.
