Magnetic Platens Ease Mold Maintenance.Opening and closing molds for maintenance and repair operations can be done quickly, easily, and safely with a new die-separation device from Die-Sep LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , Janesville, Wis. The Die-Sep unit uses magnetic platens to grip the mold halves without any mechanical fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. . The mold is first set onto the hardened steel The term hardened steel is often used for a medium or high carbon steel that has been given the heat treatments of quenching followed by tempering. This is the most common state for finished articles such as tools and machine parts. floor of the Die-Sep bay with an overhead crane An overhead crane is a type of crane where the hook-and-line mechanism runs along a horizontal beam that runs along two widely separated rails. Often it is in a long factory building and runs along rails along the building's two long walls. . Then a moving platen presses against the mold and both the platen and mold move until the other side of the mold contacts a fixed platen. Next, electromagnets are activated in both platens, securing each mold half to a platen. The moving platen then reverses direction, separating the mold halves. After work is completed, the magnets are deactivated to permit mold removal. |
