This is making my brain hurt! THREE for a mold change in a 150 T or less press? WOW! In my youth, I changed a pair of 1000T Farrells in one 8 hour shift, by myself. The 'mold level for flow' cracked me up! How 'mold true to platen so you don't crash the KO pins'? How about 'locator ring adaptor ON mold to avoid a crash'? I don't think I could stomach their version of 'cycling in'.

As Joy Signal closes, we just shipped out our Arburg Allrounder 175V to Ohio. Lowering the injection head for shipment was exciting. All we're left with is an old school custom PLC controlled "Screw"burg.

Move the machine over the lifting beam properly and you can loose the person holding the die in place while you bolt it in , and locate it easier. 3 guys on a die change crazy

They’re making a basic mold changeover more complicated then it really is goodness.

Die neuen Arburg, da stellt sich der Kniehebel automatisch ein. Du musst nur die Seite finden. :-))) Bei 1 K Maschinen brauchst du keine Wasserwage. Richte dich an die Gewindebuchsen auf der Aufspannplatte. Ach ja, lasst mit den Gurten an Spannung nach , wenn die Düsenseite fest ist. Ihr verspannt sonst das Werkzeug. Das seht ihr, wenn die Führunssäulen und Zentrierungen anfangen zu "Fressen" also abschaben. Das spürt man, wenn man mit die Finger entlang geht. So ein langer Kratzer.

I've had many different jobs in my life but I did enjoy Molding set-up and processing. We had 29 Molders from the small 75 Ton Cincinnati Milicrons to the 500 Ton HPM's, producing "Signal-Stat" heavy Truck lighting for Federal Mogul. We also did all of the lights on the U.S. Postal Service (LLV's) minus the headlights. What may run fine at 9AM may go out of Spec when the place gets hotter later on in the day. Conditions are always changing and you had to adjust for them. The Thermelators heating and drying the Acrylic, Polycarb and PVC resin and everything radiating heat, whew, did I say I missed that? lol

So true you shouldn't take the crane off until both sides are clamped and yes those are little molds. I was hanging almost 2 ton molds at the Hoover Plant

ok i have been setting molds for 35 years and i have not figured out how to put knock out bars in after the mold is bolted in both sides .

I dont think you need a hammer to level out the mold also using the extension metal to tighten it down for that I would prefer to use torque wrench just to get more accurate on tightening the mold. Also you could've set the clamp first before clamping the b1/2

one other thing, shouldn't the power to the machine be OFF, so the ram doesn't crunch an arm or hand??- a locked out machine is a safe machine.

Bro why didn't have more options for your company,? it is not a little bit hard no these, however great job you are excellent great job ,take care

Should not take the crane off before every clamps on. Not only at stationary half.

I will also a injection molding machine operator so I was doing job in other countries

Clean machine, that I like.... Nice Arburg you got there... How many tonnes?

How come that everybody in the US uses safety goggles when working? At the same time they happily lift loads with open lifting hooks (without a safety latch). Strange....

OK so you set die height and you put on the Clamp on Back half but you forgot to put in the ejector bars.

Hope people understand ! 3 people to do a mold change in this clip . Cause is easier for us to understand the demonstrations!

did You see double mould on bootle crates for example (Staroporamen with IML on one machine and cycle time 55s? )

Does the crane not move? So they can position the mould directly over there press?

These guys need to stop, this is hurting my brain... 100 ftlbs per bolt, each clamp is rated for 500 lbs There is an auto die height on that machine...

3 guys for just a simple mold? I’ve been putting 15 ton molds on a 2000t press and by myself. This is a little toy.

so great, easy understanding

dude i do a whole set up my self and processes

From part to part I do a mold change in 30 minutes or less

"A level mold will help your flow in your mold", really? "Ideally you'd use a torque wrench but, we don't do that" really again?? The "channel" is properly called a clamp slot btw. There is an old saying "Sometimes what is passed off as wisdom is, in all reality, nothing more than eloquent foolishness" Pretty Arburg though...

3 people done such a small mold, increase a lot of cost, the lifting seems too slow ~~~

Nice set up dude.... But lack of safety.. I suggest use safety hand gloves.. Nice video.

I am working this machine in plastic company 8 years

At 4:21, my man said a level mold will help flow......

Oh., no need tho torque that much, only destroying the threads in the plates......

The most primitive way to load a mold tool LOL also so dangerous, the eyebolt probably didnt have a SWL (Safe Weight Load) also it is not a carriage its a toggle lock, if anything your barrel is called a carriage, i suppose it is not too bad with the size of the tools, but if you were working at my place you would be fired within 5 minutes, especially when you are working with 18 ton bumper tools

Is it injection of rubber or plastic?

Interesting 👍

I'd so be fired using doing a setup like this, but you hang 500 lbs molds I hang 75 - 60,000 lbs molds.

And you want the mold level so your knock out are lined up

How to not put a mould tool in a press, I've been doing this job for 24 years and this is dangerous mould loading! how to bend an eye bolt more like lol

Good job 👍

Dude I want injection molding machine wich company batter..I started a new bussiness in plastic molding

Um where are the Ejector Bars? I mean unless the mold was modified... This mold looks like it needs KO's

very nice

Vastante primitivo la forma de sacar el molde de la estanteria y de ponerlo en la Máquina. VERGONZOSO

Man, why don,t you out the licayor ring on the tool? Much easier...

Those are tiny. I put a 10 ton mold in a 750 ton press.

NICE!

There is absolutely no way that mold weighs 500 pounds.

500 lb mold...that's cute...try 500,000 lb.

Usually，It would be done by 1 guy in 10min in China. It's what my friends every day do.

This is fucking old school

Süß

真不可思議所有的危險動作都做足了

شيء رائع جدا

Are you kidding me? 3 guys for that?

mold setup takahata

Amateurs . Use a torque wrench

Any cipet students here 😎😎

You mould loading is wrong

we have 380 ton machines

Arburg golden edition is the best

5 min only assembly

You guys are playing with little toys, just washers on your clamps? That is crazy even at 500 pounds....

No hand glove

Helment ?

What a badly organized place. They have no idea about machine mechanics even.

i need autoclamp

Mikenll

opt ..

So small... I just think you r playing with it... I load.... 10 ton mould in 760 ton IMM

Wrong from start to finish. horrible

Amateur hour...jesus

Whear this video

Embarrassingly old school and slow

You guys are poor
