MAGNETIC CLAMPING SYSTEM Magnetic clamping system for Quick Mold Change in injection molding machines and other plastics equipment (50t to +4000t). Designed to reduce unproductive time, while improving safety and ergonomics for machine operators. Our goal is to simplify and reduce your mold changeover time, improve operator safety, and optimize press productivity. A magnetic clamping system with electropermanent magnets is installed on the fixed and moving platens of the press. A brief electrical pulse changes the system's state, magnetizing or demagnetizing the platens. The mold is held by the...

UNIQUE CALCULATION TOOLS For each system produced, we perform finite element calculations to guarantee performance in all conditions of use. Additional fixations are installed where it is required to maintain optimum clamping force and extended lifetime. This precise calculation software allows us to avoid plate deformation under any conditions. Without this key step, there is risk of magnetic performance reduction at the opening of the IMM if it bends. If the fixation is not applied at critical areas, the system may suffer internal damage in the plate, creating micro-movements between components...
