What will it do for you?

Magnetic Platens allow practical and safe rapid tool change in the injection moulding process. This system is perfectly designed to meet the demands of lean manufacturing. A machine equipped with this system immediately becomes more productive and maintains this value over time. The system protects the machine avoiding wear and damage to the platens and prevents operative stress to the mould.

The monolithic honeycomb structure of the 'PressTec' magnetic platen system provides great rigidity and sturdiness even under hard working conditions, keeping constant coefficients of thermal and mechanical resistance. The absence of any inserts or moving parts eliminates possible wear and ensures a longer life with more predicatble and predetermined performance, without any specific maintenance programme.

PressTec Magnetic Platens are easy to install on machines of any type and sizes using the existing slots and holes on the fixed and moving platens.

Features

• Solid block construction allows reduced thickness of the magnetic platens
• Proximity sensor located in neutral area of platen detects presence of mould to enable activation of magnetic clamping
• Equal holding force across surface of mould
• Moulds of any shape or size are easily clamped without any modification to the mould base plates
• Magnetic Platens can be easily and quickly installed to any machine by utilising existing hole patterns
• Electrical interlock and isolating key switch ensure safe operation

Advantages

• Magnetic Platens provide a significant reduction in mould change and set up times
• Reduction of machine down time
• Higher productivity and improved manufacturing flexibility
• Easy access to electrical, hydraulic and air connections due to the absence of mould clamps
