We are installing a 1100 ton machine
We are installing a 1100 ton machine. We use mag platens in our other large machines. I have been looking at the mag platens from EAS. Does anyone have input on the EAS mag platen?

We looking at installing magnetic platens on one of our 400ton Engels. Will this help considerably with mold change over times? We are currently changing 10 - 12 tools per 12 hour shifts. Machine sizes are 200 ton Engels to 1650 ton. Any other suggestions to cut back on mold changeovers.

Robert,
Magnetic platens wil shorten the change over time but only if this is the bottleneck in the change over process, also look at the way you have to connect the cooling and ore the electric cables and also look at the way the tool setter have to work, walking distance waiting and so on, before you start investing in expensive hardware.

I know of EAS but have not used them. We have Tecnomagnete and Staubli. I would give the egde to the Tecnomagnete system as they tend to cover the entire platten surface with magnetic poles.
I currently run, and my last plant as well, the Engel QMC 'spigots'. They were built by the original parent company of EAS, Enerpac. I like them as well, slightly better as they normally don't add the 4" (50 mm per side) to the mold stack height. That 50 mm length can make you have to add extended nozzle tips on occasion.

We also use both of these systems. I will look at the platen coverage.There is a considerable difference in the price on the mag plates.

Mag platens do help in our change over time but Frank is also correct. You can look at the whole process. We have manifolds on the molds and only connect one supply and one return for each water circuit. The mold safety switches are in one plug. It helps with platen damage from damaged clamp holes, and keeps the mold setters from having to climb around putting mold clamps on. Things to watch for is your die height
You will loose around 4" by adding thse platens. Also you will need to extend the nozzle, may make a difference depending on what materials you use.

I have istalled a 55 Ton electric machine and so far we like it really well. We are looking at adding a 300 Ton. Although I have not experienced any of these issues I have been told that some machines have issues with the nozzle force against the sprue bushing during injection and ejector stroke and pressure. Has anyone encountered these problems?
