WORKS
Simple is Good
Using our die mold splitter, opening and closing a die or mold consists of four easy steps. The process is simple and reliable with the die mold splitter.
DIE CLAMPING
Quick and Convenient Clamping
Our optional magnetic clamping system is designed with a positive magnetic connection. That means it does not need electricity to hold the dies or molds. It makes no difference if the machine loses power or not – the die or mold is securely mounted with the die mold splitter. The clamp remains magnetized even during a power outage. The only way to release the die or mold is to power the platens again. The added benefit is that mounting space for clamps is not required. Both horizontal and vertical mounting with the die mold splitter is possible, speeding up clamping and unclamping by 75%.
TESTING CAPABILITY
Reduce Down Time
Testing ejection is an important part of testing dies and molds. With our MDS die mold splitter and testing machine, you can check ejection for noise, wear, corrosion, alignment, pin offset, and more. Changes, adjustments, or corrections can be made as soon as they are noticed. Keeping your die or mold ejection in good shape reduces downtime and improves production capacity.
TESTING CAPABILITY
Reduce Headaches
Testing the cores and core cylinders is an important part of testing dies and molds. Regularly cleaning and inspecting the cores prevents issues from developing. Our MDS die mold splitter and testing machine allows you to conveniently test all the functions of your cores and address any issues on the spot. Easily make necessary adjustments based on the inspection results to achieve optimal core performance with the die mold splitter.
CONSTRUCTION
Made to Stand Up to Constant Use.
Our Die and Mold Splitters and Testers are made of robust reinforced welded steel construction. They are driven by a gear motor which drives a dual chain sprocket which enables rotation. The cradle has two flat platforms. Heavy-duty sealed bearings help the rollers support the load. A brake motor and gear reducer provide a smooth rotating cycle without jerking or sudden speed changes which could destabilize the load.
TESTING CAPABILITY
Keep Things Cool
A water cooling system testing option can be ordered for our MDS die mold splitter and testing machine. Testing mold or die water circulation is a critical part of die or mold maintenance. Proper water cooling ensures uniform cooling of the molded part, reducing the risk of warping, shrinkage, or internal stresses that can lead to defects. Consistent cooling helps maintain a high-quality surface finish by preventing issues like sink marks or surface blemishes. Reliable cooling ensures consistent thermal conditions, leading to stable and repeatable molding cycles and part quality with the die mold splitter.
LIGHT CURTAINS
Worker safety should not be an option when ordering a press.
We are very serious about worker safety. That is why all our die mold splitters and testers include full-size CAT4 safety light curtains as a standard feature. These light curtains work alongside other safety features to ensure worker safety at all times. Worker safety is our highest priority, and it always will be with our die mold splitters and testers.
COMPONENTS
We Use Brand Name Components You Know, Already Use and Trust.
We use only the finest quality components that are open source and readily available locally in your area or from our online parts store. We do not use any hard-to-find proprietary components in our die mold splitters and testers.
