Die shoe thickness (h) available: 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60mm.
Before purchasing, please verify if the mold edge thickness (h) and T-slot (A.B.C.D.) have standard or special dimensions.
The easy to use control panel offers a simple interface to monitor and control operations of the Quick Mold Change System. The upper half of the screen displays automatic functions while the lower half can be used for operator-controlled functions. This makes this machine easy to control yet still have the functionality needed of a Quick Mold Change System.
The hydraulic pump ensures tight and stable die clamping and allows the system to maintain clamping pressure on the mold even when there is a power failure or air pressure drops. The PCB Fine Piercing System uses air-driven hydraulic pumps resulting in very high clamping pressures, high energy efficiency and convenient automated operations. Forwell’s hydraulic pump units also feature an easy to adjust air pressure valve to effectively control the systems air pressure.
