Quick clamping systems speed mould changeovers
At users of plastics injection moulding machines, Staubli said that fast and simple mould changing is vital to the efficient operation and a quick mould changing system can improve efficiency.
In these circumstances, Staubli's EMI 15 module offers a definite operating advantage.
It enables quick connection of mould fluid lines regardless of the type on connectors in place.
The module is an efficient interface between the injection moulding machine (IMM) and the mould.
Each module has one inlet port and four separate outlet ports available.
Each outlet port can be fitted with the specific connector required according to the needs of each operator.
The standard version comes with one port fitted with a Staubli RPL/ON/JV valved socket.
The remaining ports can be fitted with Staubli's SPI or RMI connectors, threaded hose stems or other profile plugs as required.
The module is suitable for a maximum working pressure of 10 bar.
The system also allows moulds fitted with multi-coupling plates to be readily connected to IMMs that are equipped for single couplings or conversely moulds fitted only with mono couplings to be easily connected to multi-coupling plates.
This can often be required where new moulds are loaded for trial purposes or the tooling has a low frequency of use.
