What are the advantages of automatic mold changing and automatic mold storage system?

Core advantages of automatic mold changing and mold three-dimensional warehouse system

First, greatly reduce the working hours of mold changing and improve production efficiency.

No one can quickly change the mold. The traditional manual mold change takes 1-3 hours, and the automation only takes 10-25 minutes to complete the whole process, which improves the mold change efficiency by more than 70%.

The die can be pre-adjusted and pre-heated in advance, the waiting time of machine stop is greatly reduced, and the equipment productivity is significantly improved.

Multiple injection molding machines share a set of mold storage and transfer system, which automatically picks up molds as needed, making the production line more flexible.

Second, the three-dimensional warehouse occupies less land, and the utilization rate of workshop space doubles.

Using high-rise three-dimensional shelves to store molds vertically can save more than 60% of the floor space compared with laying on the ground, effectively releasing the workshop production site.

Unified, regular and classified storage, bid farewell to the phenomenon of disorderly stacking of molds and occupying roads, and the workshop site is clean and standardized.

Hierarchical partition management, heavy, medium and small molds are stored in partitions, and the access is orderly.

Third, the whole process runs automatically, greatly reducing labor costs.

Realize the automation of the whole process of mold warehousing, storage, retrieval, transshipment, on-board and off-line return to the warehouse, without the need for full-time mold handling, lifting and mold changing technicians.

Reduce high-intensity operations such as high-altitude hoisting and heavy mold handling, streamline post personnel, and save a lot of manpower expenses for a long time.

Support night shift unattended automatic mold changing, and adapt to two/three shifts of continuous production.

Four, accurate control of mold assets, extend the service life of the mold.

The system binds the mold number, model, machine, use times and production capacity, and carries out digital management in the whole life cycle, and automatically counts the use frequency.

Automatically remind the mold maintenance, polishing and maintenance cycle, put an end to overdue production with diseases and reduce the mold damage rate.

The mold is stored at constant temperature and dust-proof, so as to avoid being exposed to moisture, oil and rust, bumping and scratching, and effectively prolong the service life of the mold.

Accurate access positioning, no impact, no inclined placement, reducing the damage of die core, guide post and sealing structure.

Five, high safety factor, to avoid major operational risks.

Cancel frequent hoisting of crane, manual heavy-duty mold pushing and pulling operation, and eliminate safety accidents such as squeezing, falling and crushing.

Equipped with multiple protective devices such as safety fence, infrared protection, limit limit, power-off self-locking and emergency stop interlocking.

Standardized clamping and positioning, accurate and stable die replacement and alignment, and prevent machine collision and die failure caused by die installation deviation.

Six, standardized and unified management, adapt to the smart factory upgrade.

Unify the mold positioning datum, clamping structure and lug specifications, and the molds in the whole factory are universal and interchangeable.

It can seamlessly connect injection molding machine, manipulator, MES production system and ERP system, and realize one-button release of production orders and automatic mold matching production.

Automatically generate mold inventory report, usage record and maintenance ledger, and the quality and production data can be traced back.

Adapt to the flexible production of large quantities and varieties of plastic products, quickly switch production varieties, and the market has stronger ability to respond to orders.

Seven, stable production quality, reduce the defective rate.

The installation accuracy of the mold is uniform, the clamping force and the alignment position are standardized, and the fluctuation of molding process parameters is small.

The installation deviation and adjustment error caused by manual mold changing are reduced, the dimensional stability of products is better, and the injection failure rate continues to decline.

Eight, energy saving, environmental protection and loss reduction

Reduce the energy consumption of frequent starting and running of cranes and forklifts, and the energy consumption of automation equipment is lower.

Reduce mold damage and maintenance costs, spare parts procurement costs, and the overall production and operation costs continue to decline.
