The advantages of fast mold changing in injection molding machines
Injection molding machines are the most commonly used production and manufacturing machinery in industrial production. It can be said that our current life cannot do without the use of injection molding machines. With the increasing demand for products, rapid mold changing systems for injection molding machines are gradually emerging to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
The advantages of the rapid mold changing system for injection molding machines are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. The need for enterprises to reduce production costs
The rapid mold changing system of injection molding machines helps enterprises reduce inventory, thereby achieving more flexible production management. Reducing inventory means a reduction in production costs, which includes investment in warehouse costs, packaging costs, raw material costs, and so on.
2. The need for standardized management in enterprises
The rapid mold changing system of injection molding machines can counteract the standardization of enterprise production. Nowadays, many plastic product companies have inconsistent specifications for their molds. Especially the inconsistency of templates will result in a series of future automation and intelligence being unable to be implemented.
3. The need for enterprises to improve production efficiency
Taking the 180T injection molding machine as an example, it takes nearly 4 hours to replace a set of molds until the new product is officially produced. This includes mold replacement, mold transportation, mold water and oil temperature preheating, and constant temperature to meet the requirements of formal production. The rapid mold change system of the injection molding machine, mold waterway integration system, and mold preheating platform application can significantly reduce the mold change time to about 4 minutes, Thus achieving a 90% reduction in the entire mold replacement time. The use of a rapid mold changing system for injection molding machines alone can shorten the entire process from mold changing to new product production by more than 50%, because the time and product value corresponding to the customer's unit mold closing are different and cannot be accurately calculated. The value of efficiency improvement for enterprises is immeasurable.
4. The need for enterprise safety production
Without safety, the efficiency of production becomes meaningless and worthless. As practitioners, we all know that in the process of replacing molds, almost all enterprises involve the full participation of workers. The more human resources participate, the greater the possibility of safety problems breaking out. During the lifting process, mold slippage caused by compatibility issues or tool issues can easily become a safety hazard in production. The rapid mold changing system of injection molding machines, combined with a one click mold changing system, fundamentally eliminates the possibility of unsafe accidents.
5. The need for enterprises to reduce labor costs
With the advancement of unmanned chemical plants, the pressure of enterprise competition is increasing day by day. The rapid mold changing system for injection molding machines helps reduce the dependence of enterprises on human resources, especially the difficulty in recruiting mold changing workers, which is currently one of the pain points in the industry. The adoption of the rapid mold changing system for injection molding machines can help change this situation. Looking from a different perspective, are you willing to work in labor-saving factories or in factories that require a lot of effort as a worker? The use of a rapid mold changing system for injection molding machines can effectively reduce the number of mold changing workers in the factory, thereby directly reducing labor costs.
