Whether it be used for injection molding, casting, or stamping – molds and dies are the lifeblood of mass production manufacturing.  To keep up with the growing needs of the industry, manufacturers are supplying a higher mix of products than ever before, resulting in increased mold/die changes.

Using the conventional forklift or overhead crane requires more people and risks unsafe conditions every time a mold/die change occurs. Automating the mold and die changing process will keep workers safe and shorten mold changing time considerably. 

Pascal Die Changers provide a one-touch solution to set the mold or die in production position. As a result, you can achieve considerable time savings that allow for increased production and a quick return on investment.  Pascal’s Die Change System also improves the quality of operations through increased worker safety as well reduced damages to mold/dies during changeover.  Pascal offers a wide variety of Die Changing Systems layouts and configurations to meet your needs.

Transitioning from conventional clamping to automatic die changing will save you time — time that can be used for increasing production and reducing the workload of operators. Automatic die changing also makes the workplace safer and more efficient. Every step in the die change process is improved — including clamping, positioning and attaching/detaching the ejector plate. Pascal supplies die casting parts — such as control units and hydraulic units — that allow you to create a complete system.

Productivity Improvement
The amount of time involved in die changing can be reduced by switching your operation from conventional screw clamping to automatic die casting clamping that utilizes slidable hydraulic clamps. Even better, using a mag clamp die clamp system that utilizes a powerful magnetic force eliminates the need for mounting bolts and maximizes the full die-casting machine surface. Using our multi-couplers enables you to connect multiple couplers in one go — easily and securely — with a single push, and decreases the time and confusion that result when individually pairing multiple couplers.

Die casting is one of the most widely used processes for producing metal parts. It’s found in:

Automotive
Electrical and lighting
Hydraulics and pneumatics
Commercial printer manufacturing
Telecommunications

High uptime, quick die changes, consistent quality and high levels of safety are essential for maximizing output from die casting machines. Upgrading die casting components, such as by including a die changer or die rotator, supports JIT manufacturing, increases productivity and improves product quality while also reducing waste. Pascal helps businesses that use die casting achieve these goals with die casting products and die casting machine parts ranging from complete mold change systems to couplers and clamps.
