Description & Use
In
an injection molding press, the FASTIE
system quickly “tiesin” the mold ejector
plate to the press ejection system,
dramatically reducing mold change time.
The greatest time savings are realized in
presses where space is limited and the
ejector system is difficult to tie in
using solid knock-out bars.
The FASTIE
coupler is permanently mounted to the
press ejector plate. The quick-connect
locking mechanism in the coupler snaps
mechanically onto the mold-mounted stud
during mold installation.
To release
the ejectors, apply shop air to the
coupler. T h e coupler opens to release
the stud, disconnecting the press and
tooling ejector plates. The coupler
remains in the open position, ready for a
new mold to be set.
For
multiple ejector locations, an air
manifold is recommended to release all
couplers simultaneously. See inside
catalog pages for installation examples.
Two FASTIE
sizes are available: 1-inch model for
presses 500 tons and under and 2-inch
model for presses larger than 500 tons. |
Accessories
The
FASTIE system features additional parts to
aid installation and use. These
accessories can be used in combination to
accommodate your specific press and mold
applications. Different thread sizes are
available to suit most presses and molds.
