Magnetic Clamping System for Mold Change

Magnetic Clamping System for Mold Change

HVR MAG Magnetic Clamping System for Mold Change are suitable for 50-4000ton injection molding machines to allow for quick mold changeover, resulting in shorter downtime of injection molding machines without any changes to the molds. It provides a uniform mold clamping force act on whole contact surface that allows obtaining good quality parts even with the first mold, drastically reduces mold changeover time (up to 90%) compared to a conventional procedure. A single operator can easily and safely performs the operation, without working inside the machine. The highest standard of eight safety protection measures constructs a real-time protection system.

Installation diagram

HVR MAG Magnetic Clamping System for Molds, features 8 safety precaution attributes that make it particularly effective and safe.

  • Closeness Detection : In Mold Changing State, the surface of the mold should be in full contact and is closely clamped by magnetic platens at each side, no interval gap existed. Only in this condition can the MAG phase be realized.
  • Magnetic Flux Detection : Release of the machine is only given if the measured magnetic flux, after magnetization, reaches the standard minimum predefined safety value. If this is not the case, an error is indicated. If during the injection moulding process the magnetic flux value decreases minimally, the machine stops immediately.

  • Temperature Detection : To prevent demagnetization of the magnetic platens caused by an extremely high temperature, temperature detection is engineered to send an alarm signal if the temperature exceeds the standard value.
  • Pulse Current Value Detection : In MAG and DEMAG phases, the control system monitors the value of pulse current and will send a successful signal only when the pulse current reaches the required value.
  • Mold Dislocation Detection : Mold dislocation sensor detects the real time location of the mold in Injecting State, and will send an alarm signal if there’s a slight slide of the mold, to stop the running molding process.
  • Distance Detection : Only when the distance between the mold and magnetic platens is less than 0.2mm, the controller will authorize the proceeding of MAG and DEMAG phases, otherwise an alarm signal will be sent to stop the running of the plastic injection machine.
  • Interlock Control System : This Interlock Control System will allow the injection machine to work only on condition that all detection signals are normal, with both movable and fixed magnetic platens successfully magnetized and the key switched to Injecting State.
  • State-Switching Key Design : Using a key to switch between Mold Changing State and Injecting State. Demagnetization operation will only be valid with the key switched to Mold Changing State and DEMAG button pressed simultaneously. If the key been switched to Injecting State, MAG and DEMAG operation can not be achieved.

HVR MAG Magnetic Clamping System for Mold Change is suitable for 50-4000ton injection molding machines. It is also commonly used in the processes of machining on the shell parts in appliance industries, electronic industries and automobile industries.
