Overview
The Pascal Die Setter (MDL) is a mold positioning device offered as an alternative to the conventional locate ring. The mold is simply set down on the die setter, which fixes its horizontal and vertical position. This makes mold setup easier and more reliable and improves productivity.
Key Features
- Locate ring alternative
- Positions the mold without relying on a conventional locate ring.
- X axis set by the die setter
- Setting the mold on the die setter fixes the X axis.
- Y axis set by a center pin
- A center pin fixes the Y axis.
- Air cylinder operation
- Pascal's diagram shows the leveling block raised and lowered by an air cylinder on a die set base.
- Works with mag clamps
- Pascal shows the die setter mounted below the mold on a mag clamp platen.
Product Line / Models
The Die Setter MDL system is made up of these parts, as shown in Pascal's layout:
- Die setter MDL – Leveling block on a die set base, driven by an air cylinder. The mold sits on it to fix the X axis.
- Center pin and die set block – Locates the mold on center to fix the Y axis.
Applications & Benefits
- Easier setup: Place the mold on the die setter and its position is set.
- Reliable positioning: Placing the mold on the die setter determines its horizontal and vertical position surely and easily.
- Quick mold change systems: Pascal shows the die setter working with mag clamps on the fixed platen.
How to Choose the Right Pascal Die Setter
- Start with your machine tonnage and platen dimensions.
- Confirm mold sizes and weights, and how molds are loaded (typically by crane from above).
- Check how molds are clamped today and whether mag clamps are in use or planned.
- Confirm plant air is available for the air cylinder.
Why Pascal Die Setters Are Trusted
- Positive two-axis location: Pascal's design fixes the X axis with the die setter and the Y axis with a center pin.
- Proven in production: Pascal demonstrates the die setter in a mold change on a 1,800 kN machine.
- Part of a complete system: Pascal pairs the die setter with its mag clamps for quick mold change.
