Product Line: Injection Molding Auxiliary Equipment

Jump to Subcategories

Production Resources, Inc. supplies the equipment that surrounds an injection molding machine, starting with Pascal Engineering's quick mold change (QMC) line: magnetic and hydraulic mold clamps, mold changers, couplers, control systems and mold setting accessories. PRI does not sell the molding machine itself; we help molders shorten mold changes, set molds accurately and handle heavy molds safely.

How Quick Mold Change Equipment Is Used on Injection Molding Machines

Every mold change is time the machine isn't running. Quick mold change equipment clamps the mold without bolts, rolls molds in and out without a crane, connects water, oil, air and electrical lines in one move, and locates the mold in the same position every time so setup and robot teaching don't have to be repeated.

Types of Injection Molding Auxiliary Equipment and Typical Use Cases

Magnetic and Hydraulic Mold Clamps

What they are: Pascal magnetic clamps hold the mold with permanent magnets; hydraulic and air clamps clamp mechanically. Typical uses: Clamping and releasing molds in seconds instead of bolting them.

Mold Changers and Couplers

What they are: Mold changers load molds horizontally at the machine; auto and multi couplers connect many lines at once. Typical uses: Crane-free mold changes and fully automatic changeovers.

Control Systems and Mold Setting Accessories

What they are: Hydraulic and air control units plus die setters, die levelers, locate rings, ejector rods and die stoppers. Typical uses: Powering clamps, positioning molds accurately and preventing mold falls.

Mold Rotators

What they are: Floor-mounted rotators that turn heavy molds and dies. Typical uses: Turning heavy molds without flipping them with an overhead crane.
