Mold Change Table
Increase your machine availability up to 95% !
A mold change table can be the solution needed for reliable changeovers. Horizontal loading can be done using a manual or a powered transfer mechanism. Positioning is made easy and simple and using multi couplers systems all needed connections are made in the blink of an eye. The operator manually controls the steps of the mold change, even with an automatic push button control. A mold table or cart always makes a secure alignment with the machine, no adjustments needed.
