The installation of an electro permanent magnetic (EPM) quick-change system on its 600-ton injection moulding machine provided our customer with immediate and significant benefits. This QMC-system uses magnetic plates to safely clamp the moulds onto the machine.
A major advantage of EPM quick-change systems is their speed and efficiency. They can drastically reduce mould changeover times, which can be a major bottleneck in the production process. Moreover, the system’s secure magnetic connection ensures accurate mould alignment and reduces the risk of damage or misalignment during operation.
Another advantage of EPM quick-change systems is their versatility. They can accommodate a wide range of mould sizes and shapes, making them suitable for a variety of production applications. This allows companies to be more flexible and responsive to customer requirements.
Finally, EPM quick-change systems can generate significant cost savings over time. By reducing labour and downtime costs and making production more efficient, the system can help companies improve profitability and remain competitive in a rapidly changing market.
At PLASMIR, a plastics processing company in Spain, we recently installed an electro-permanent magnetic quick mold change system on a 1500-ton CHEN HSONG injection molding machine. Fully integrated according to the EUROMAP 70.1 standard, this upgrade delivers a powerful leap forward in productivity, operator safety, and operational flexibility.
