This is an example of how fluid connections are often done, resulting in inefficient cooling,
leakage and high scrap rates.
Two standard manual multi couplers with 12 water connections, a special manual multi
coupler with 5 electric connectors for signals and heating purposes and one special manual multi
coupler for hydraulic core pulling connections are mounted on these 40 t moulds.
The fluid and electrical connections are done within 3 minutes and without leakage of water or
oil, which keeps the area very clean.
A manual mullti coupler with several electrical connectors for heating and sensor signals.
A standard 12 connection multi coupler, with size 12 (1/2”) water connections is used for the cooling
circuits. A park station is used for hanging the manual multi coupler during mould change.
These multi couplers solutions were implemented on five 1300 t machines.
Here is an example of the correct way of connecting several fluid circuits, without the risk
of leakage or misconnenction. When used in conjunction with a good water treatment system,
EAS multi couplers will reduce scrap and improve the quality of your production.

Large size 37 mono couplers are part of the multi couplers on this machine to connect leakproof large cooling lines. This in combination with heating oil connections and electric connections results in a total mould change time of less than 15 minutes in combination with hydraulic clamping and a vertical mould change by means of an overhead crane on this 2300 t machine. Fast, safe and clean.
This multi coupler system for horizontal loading connects water and electric connections trouble free in less than 20 seconds. Another advantage of these multi couplers is that misconnections are being made any longer, which reduces the amount of bad products.
This 2700 t injection moulding machines with horizontal loading, has standardized multi couplers on the movable and fixed side of the machines. Connections for cooling water, hydraulics for core pull cylinders and electric for heating and signals, are automatically connected and disconnected. This connection takes less then 30 seconds.All couplers feature the leak proof couplers, keeping floor and envirement clean.

When using a mould change table betwen two injection machines you will improve your return on investment because the table is suporting two machines instead of one. This provides greater flexibility and faster changeover.
EAShasimplementedsolutionswithoverheadpush/pulldevices,telescopicpush/pulldevicestoloadfrombothsidesofthetableaswellaspoweredrollers.Poweredrollersprovidethefastestchangeoverbecauseyoudohavewaitforthepush/pulldevicetotravelintothemachine.
At this application a mould change table was placed in between two 2700 t injection moulding machines and is able to carry two 40 ton moulds. The moulds are loaded and unloaded on the table by an overhead crane. The table is equipped with pre-heating multi couplers, allowing the new mould to be heated prior to its movement into the machine, saving hours of unproductive time.At this application EAS selected an overhead transfer mechanism, which is mounted over the table and on the two machines. Each mould is equipped with two connection bars, mounted on top of the fixed side of the mould. With this solution a mould change can be done within 10 minutes.
Note; If no overhead crane is available to load and unload the moulds on the table, the table can be equipped as a rail guided car. This table-car brings the moulds then to storage positions where several moulds can be stored.
The moulds are equipped with standardized mould backplates. The fluid and electric connections are well organized and being connected by automatic multi couplers.
Three 3000 t machines are configured with mould change tables in between. These powered roller mould change tables can transfer a 40 t mould into either machine at the push of a button. This provides speed and flexibility to the moulding process.EAS equipped the machines with powered rollers and clamping systems. EAS installed the complete system including platforms, stairs and mould change table control systems. The operator has acces to the top of the table form the platforms. Safety gates prevent people from walking on the table during the mould changes.

Space is very limited around the machines at this automotive supplier, two air floating cars for 2 x 20 and 2 x 15 t moulds are used to change these moulds in less then 15 minutes. The push /pull changing device can change the moulds to both sides of the car, which brings even more flexibility and speed.
For extreme heavy moulds as at this container manufacturer EAS installed this air floating system in combination with storage systems, a 3400 t and a 6000 t injection moulding machine as well as an EAS inspection unit. The car can handle up to 150 t moulds and the change over time is less then 30 minutes.
Air floating solutions can be very attractive for smaller mould handling requirements. It can also be combined with an electric drive system to travel longer distance. The operator can walk behind or even sit on board.Contact EAS for very creative solutions to your mould handling problems.
A 110 t mould is transported from its storage system to the injection moulding machine or inspection unit. This customer, a producer of large plastic container, had no overhead crane available for such heavy weights and this solution enables them to change these moulds within 35 minutes. The push pull mechanism is a simple spindle device, which pushes or pulls the moulds in or out the large twin machine.

EAS developed together with Krauss Maffei in Germany a very fast moving mould transport table. Due to the manufacturing method the 6 t mould needed to be moved over a distance of 3000 mm in less then 5 seconds. This short timeframe is including acceleration and deceleration of the heavy mould and mould bed. EAS found the solution with the help of air cushions, normally used on our aircushion mould change cars, but now used to float the mould bed and the mould over the smooth and flat table frame.
For a range of vertical mould carriers, producing different internal part for a well-known car manufacturer in Germany, the space in front of the mould carrier was very limited. A special designed electric driven car on rails was developed to overcome these difficulties. The car can carry two moulds of each 20 t and the upper bed can turn 180 degrees. The mould sequence is therefor as follows; the car arrives with the new mould on the car, it docks on at the press. The existing mould is pulled from the machine onto the car, then unlocks and drives back two meters where the upper bed is turned 180 degrees. The new mould is now brought to and into the machine with a total mould change time of 10 minutes.
A well-known Italian car manufacturer developed a very special injection moulding machine to produce car bumpers. The requirements were; faster, more flexible, reduce labor cost, reduce energy consumption, reduce floor space and optimize the production process control by automation.
The mould change cars are having the following features; two way two direction travel with one guiding rail a 65 t load bearing capacity A floating upper bed table permitting easy self centering of the mould with the upper platen Compact size Control by means of a remote push button station A floor installed carriage guiders, mono rails and side tracks with crossing for two way movement Change over time for 1 mould in less then 10 minutes
