Engel demos 10 Minute Mold Change at PTXPO22

[@jamesroan9060]

Some years ago I did mold changes with a over head crane and my average time was 15 mins or less for last part to first part off, the fastest change over I did was 6 mins, this was blowing out the water lines, and removing hoses, we have hydraulic clamps with positive stops on most of the machines with a few mag clamps, I can't imagine how fast I would have been with this system.

Yes mould set-up mould is used to ensure proper control with safety practice exercised

[@user-ec4ef4ev6w]

Safety and efficiency with proper planing

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Impressive, as a technician it seems to me this will eliminate the stripped threads and other problems associated with frequent changeovers.

[@uktgujhgvukhyjbj3619]

what did eliminate thz risks and whats the risks ?

[@philipranque5046]

It's very nice machine that's my machine i operating when i was working at Al Watania plastic very smooth running at and setting adjustments at mold loading all automatic clamping

😍

[@RubenGuerra-qi1ft]

and Hotrunner with 12 diffrent nozzles, tips and torpedos and changing color of part....just to have some fun

[@uktgujhgvukhyjbj3619]

is it same for sillicone injection machines ?

[@macsenhayes]

Who makes plastic parts but only a couple at a time?

[@redshirt510]

you would be surprised, worked for a company making stuff used in supermarkets, stores all different price tags rails, holders, separators, gravity bins and whatnot. Over 350 molds and many colors, inserts. Practically every day we would make different color or version samples for the clients. But the real orders were sometimes 30 minutes run time too.

Can be it sell in Indonesia?

[@adamcopley9860]

What about LOTO homies?...safety first!!!!

@@luisstevens7900 I know this it's a work thing here in the US.

[@uktgujhgvukhyjbj3619]

[@dhirajpatil6000]

Are there mould clamp used, to clamp mould

[@pano5343]

Qmc106 Bajonett clamping system from stäubli.

now hopefully that material handler isn't on tiktok in the bathroom when you need him at the same time.. or hopefully your barrel heats don't have to go from 500 to 400, or lets say you have to actually use rust protect and mold cleaner, now lets say you have to actually change the EOA as well.. I can do a MC in 30 minutes on a 500ton alone. 15 with a second person that's 1/2 inch quick disconnects and hydraulic for cores/ejectors and that including changing the EOA on a sepro and non magnetic base. Even faster if i'm going to a sister tool and using the same method of clamping (direct to direct or clamp to clamp with same thicknesses) 2500 ton, yea that'd take 2.5 hrs on a 40 ton tool but that's partly due to grabbing aux units from other presses and hopping up and down grabbing 6 hr cable sets and torqueing each bolt down to 650.

[@ph00n0]

200 ton roboshot that takes 3 minutes just for the die height alone used to take 25min with k/o bars.. people just don't know how to stage for the next changeover, if you have everything you need they're pretty quick.

[@uktgujhgvukhyjbj3619]

we understande nothing, whats EOA

[@RubenGuerra-qi1ft]

a lot of pushing and effort manual handling easy to be injuried... try do that with a 5 TN tool

[@pano5343]

This system is only available for max 2tons mold weight.

[@user-ec4ef4ev6w]

Would be faster with the employment of magnetic platens
