When it comes to injection molding, the efficiency of mold changing processes plays a critical role in determining overall productivity. Two commonly used quick mold change systems, hydraulic and magnetic, offer distinct differences in the time required for mold clamping. Taking a 600-ton injection molding machine as an example, let […]

Magnetic platens have become an indispensable part of modern injection molding processes, offering significant advantages over traditional clamping systems in terms of speed and ease of mold exchange. However, as with any mechanical system, issues can arise, leading to the dreaded scenario of a mold dropping. This article explores the

For  injection molding machine, the choice between hydraulic and magnetic quick mold change systems often boils down to efficiency, adaptability, and structural integrity. Here’s why magnetic quick mold change systems stand out as a superior option compared to hydraulic alternatives. Make Injection Molding Machine Integrity and Precision Installing a hydraulic

In the ever-evolving world of manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount. One technology that has gained traction for its ability to significantly enhance operational speed and accuracy is the magnetic quick mold change system. But can this technology be applied to metal stamping machines, and if so, will it have

What is SMED? SMED stands for Single-Minute Exchange of Die. It is a groundbreaking lean manufacturing technique that originated in Japan in the early 1950s. SMED aims to minimize setup times to less than 10 minutes, ideally achieving a single-digit minute setup time. SMED was initially employed in automotive manufacturing.
