IC The fastest method for changing inserts between mold versions directly via the parting line

In a dynamic and highly competitive manufacturing environment, efficiency and flexibility are critical. The innovative solution for insert replacement through the parting surface sets a new standard in injection mold production management by eliminating downtime, simplifying maintenance, and significantly reducing manufacturing costs. This is particularly crucial in high-output processes where variant changes are frequent.

  • Innovative solution with tangible benefits

The system enables insert replacement in less than one minute, directly through the parting surface, without the need to disassemble the mold or use tools.
Supplying compressed air to the channel is sufficient to perform the changeover quickly and safely.
The system operates at a pressure range of 6 to 8 bar, making it highly practical for industrial environments.

  • Simple, fast, and safe operation

Minimizing mold handling results in simplified maintenance, shorter setup times, and significantly reduced production downtime, without compromising operator safety.
The ability to operate directly through the parting surface eliminates time losses when switching between different mold designs and versions.

  • High precision and adaptability

The adjustable insert height, achieved via a dedicated extension, ensures smooth, uniform, and consistent results without deviation at every changeover.
This makes the solution suitable for applications with stringent requirements for quality and repeatability.

  • Modularity and Versatile Applications

The system is an innovative modular solution with a wide range of applications, including different shapes, engravings, and data markings. By changing the insert, different versions of a product can be manufactured using the same injection mold.

The images show the difference between two versions: the bottom of the basket on the left has two elongated openings, while the version on the right has square openings in their place. The corresponding inserts in the injection mold are also shown.

The system is available in two sizes to suit different projects and production requirements. It is made from high-quality materials and is suitable for operation at temperatures of up to 150 °C.

  • Maximum efficiency and cost optimization

By converting insert changeover time into actual productive time, the system increases efficiency, reduces costs, and eliminates unnecessary downtime.
This makes it a next-generation solution that significantly outperforms traditional methods.
