Everyone forgets in Medical molding you also have to change out the injection unit. These need to be very solidly bolted into the cross head to withstand the injection pressures, which can range from a few thousand to over 40 thousand PSI.
Definitely nice but would you be able to purge barrels at the same time? I feel like cleaning out the hopper of old material and loading with new material will take at least 20 minutes anyways and if you need to purge and whatnot probably 30
OMG that´s awesome, the guy who said "the system is expensive and the return at the end of the year is almost zero" doesn´t know anything about productivity. Congratulations to the people of EAS.

would the electromagnet holding the mold to the platen interfere with the ejection of steel parts? or is this only for aluminum and plastic injection molds? also, freaking automated KO bars and waterlines?! I am impressed! awesome!
As far as I know there is no such thing as steel injection molding, or die casting as the process would be called in case of metals. As the temperature goes up, tool life goes down exponentially. Low melting point brasses are about the upper end of what you can reasonably die cast. Die casting steel would make little to no sense anyway, steel requires a certain degree of forging to achieve full spec of material properties.
@@aleksandersuur9475 lots of injection molding processes utilize steel inserts, and metal injection molding using powdered metals, including steel, in a binder which is then sintered in a secondary process.
Hi Augusto, there is of course a higher investment for this level of automation. Yet the return is really positive, and has its influence on several parts of the production process, yielding a high level of optimization and savings. This is just an example, a competitive edge can already be gained with smaller steps that do not require much standardization. If you contact our sales team, they can inform you about all the suitable options : sales@EASchangesystems.com, or give us a call: +31 318 477 010 at EAS HQ.
guys like augusto should go mold another hair piece they are complete morons. they only comment because they are so stupid they believe what they are saying. however the video was awesome but we have about 20 KM presses and in my opinion our old milicrons are better. our KM's are constantly breaking the locking nuts on the tie bars due to those junk pins they have. I've worked with a lot of presses and I hate krauss maffei! do you guys have trouble with them?
No return on investment? Less downtime means more uptime. More uptime means for product. A machine this big would have a fairly high machine rate per hour to recover/charge out per part, so it makes sense it should be as efficient as possible to make more parts per hour
@@beinghonest7252 So your arument against what was said is to spout insults and personal attacks without even a counter argument against the points he made.... Very grown up. Yep... we can spend the cost of having two more molding machines in changing molds in one machine... and never being able to run those molds in another machine unless they are set up the same way. What is the added cost to EACH mold designed to include all the automatic systems for every tool you will run? 2 to 3 million dollar investment for one machine Vs. 60,000 a year to hire someone decent that can change the molds in many machines. If set up well a mold like this can go from last shot to first shot in 30 mins. Hmmmmm. Yep, I'd love to see examples of multiple businesses using this exact system.
MIND BLOWN! love how the robot can change its own end of arm.. Gunna put me out of a job ;P

Why would you need to change that? I work with medical in cleanroom and we dont do that..
Also injection unit is not very solidly bolted, you have the bars from hydraulic cylinder and the rest is quite flexible.

Water lines?
Cores?
Dme?
I would be interested to see this setup up close. GE injection molding could benefit from a faster change.
Awesome!
This works when you run same material to avoid purging time , everything has to be standardized, what kind of ejection system is this ?

Thank you Germán !
First time set up and configuration 6 days
Wow, where i work, it takes the setup person 45 minutes or more to do a mold change.

You need to do SMED on your process, TOYOTA started in '50, I'd experience on 9 minutes set up without any robot ;)
Amazing technology, Hats off to the designers and engineers. 👌👌✌️
So how the fark holding the mould without screw only magnet ???
would the electromagnet holding the mold to the platen interfere with the ejection of steel parts? or is this only for aluminum and plastic injection molds?

Please tell me laminated glass mould changing process
I came to this video hoping to see PEOPLE changing out the die in 3 minutes, so I was disappointed in seeing a machine doing it itself. #SMED
Wow reduce cost man power..
Where I work they can take up to 8 hrs to set a job up, and that's not a huge mold.
Shouldn't take that long
I'd like to work there lol I set 3 or 4 alone in 650 - 1200 ton presses 6 if I do 3 roboshots and 3 medium ones
this looks amazing however, first time setup and config must be purgatory
Perfect
how is the water lines hooked up
Bill & Bill`s Gentlemans Club i would also like to know how the coolant is attached.
Mag platens do help
Nice
Sorry but the system is expensive and the return at the end of the year is almost zero. I don't buy.

damn..some molds can take hours and this take few mins? wtf
