What are the advantages of rapid mold change in injection molding machines?

Injection molding machine is one of the most commonly used production and manufacturing machinery in industrial production. It can be said that our lives now cannot do without the use of injection molding machines. With the increasing demand for products, the rapid mold change system of injection molding machines is gradually emerging, which improves the production efficiency of injection molding machines and reduces labor costs.

The advantages of the rapid mold change system for injection molding machines are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The need for enterprises to reduce production costs

The rapid mold change system of injection molding machines helps enterprises reduce inventory, thereby achieving more flexible production management. Reducing inventory means reducing production costs, including warehouse expenses, packaging expenses, raw material expenses, 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 lack of standardization in 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 using the existing replacement method. This includes mold replacement, mold transportation, mold water temperature and oil temperature preheating, and constant temperature to meet the requirements of formal production. The rapid mold replacement system, mold water circuit integration system, and mold preheating platform application of the injection molding machine can greatly compress the mold replacement time to about 4 minutes, thereby achieving a 90% savings in the entire mold replacement time. The use of a rapid mold change system for injection molding machines alone can shorten the entire process from mold change to new product production by more than 50%, as the time and product value corresponding to customer 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, production efficiency becomes meaningless and of no value. As practitioners, we all know that in the process of replacing molds, almost all companies involve workers throughout the entire process. The more manpower involved, the greater the possibility of safety issues erupting. During the lifting process, mold slippage caused by coordination issues or tool problems can easily become a safety production hazard. The rapid mold changing system of the injection molding machine, combined with the one key mold changing system, fundamentally eliminates the possibility of unsafe accidents.

5. The need for enterprises to reduce labor costs

With the advancement of unmanned factories, the pressure of competition among enterprises is increasing day by day. The rapid mold change system of injection molding machines can help reduce the dependence of enterprises on human resources, especially the difficulty in recruiting mold change workers, which is currently one of the pain points in the industry. The adoption of the rapid mold change system of injection molding machines can help change this situation. Do you, as a worker, prefer to work in factories that require less effort or factories that require more effort? 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.
