With a fast changing business climate, large manufacturers are realizing the cost efficiency and versatility of the injection molding process. By using thermoplastics, injection molding machines can form virtually any shape and mold it into a durable and rigid design. As consumer electronic products predominantly use plastic casings and shells, this has been a huge growth market for the plastic injection molding industry and will only continue to grow in the years to come.
As plastic injection molding machines are used in the design of small intricate products, as well as in the design of heavy-duty industrial components, mold handling systems need to be able to cope with the wide range of machinery. After many years of research and development, Forwell’s quick mold change systems and mold cart systems are at the forefront of mold changing technology. This has allowed us to design a wide variety of products that drastically increase the safety, efficiency, and productivity of any kind of injection molding operation.

As this lever-type clamp does not require a U-slot on the die shoe it can be used in a wide range of applications. The TY type Die Clamps are machined to fit into the T-slot of the bolster for extra secure positioning. The flange-mount model Die Clamps can be bolted onto the bolster and the automatic slider model Die Clamps makes remote automatic operation possible.
All Forwell Quick Mold Change Systems use high quality Die Clamps for very secure clamping, quick mold changing and safer operations. These clamps can fasten Molds whether they are changed vertically or horizontally.
There are also a range of different Die Clamps available to suit your injection molding or mold casting requirements. The TY type Die Clamps are machined to fit into the T-slot of the bolster for extra secure positioning. The flange-mount model Die Clamps can be bolted onto the bolster and the automatic slider model Die Clamps makes remote automatic operation possible.
The following specifications can help you choose the appropriate clamp type in accordance with your injection molding requirements and production situation. Make sure of your production plans and production procedure before choosing your product to be sure of the product that best suits your needs.
| Mold Plate | Mold Change Direction | Clamping type | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Union | Vertically | Moving Clamp | Fixed in with T-slot |
| Union | Vertically | Fixed & Moving Clamp | Clamp fixed or Moving on plate |
| Horizontally | Fixed Clamp | Install roller or sliding rail upon the plate. Use cart or mold exchange table for easy operation and the shortest possible mold changing time. |

- Simplifies Operations
- Easy to use
- Multi Language Interface
- Many automatic functions
- Easy status monitoring
The easy to use control panel offers a simple interface to monitor and control operations of the Quick Mold Change System. The upper half of the screen displays automatic functions while the lower half can be used for operator-controlled functions. This makes this machine easy to control yet still have the functionality needed of a Quick Mold Change System.

- Very secure and stable clamping
- Pressure can easily be adjusted using an air pressure adjusting valve. Should air pressure become dangerously high, the air pressure will automatically shut off
- Prolonged hydraulic air pressure allows for energy efficient and convenient automated operations
- Hydraulic air pump ensures die clamping even during power cuts or when system pressure drops
The hydraulic pump ensures tight and stable die clamping and allows the system to maintain clamping pressure on the mold even when there is a power failure or air pressure drops. The PCB Fine Piercing System uses air-driven hydraulic pumps resulting in very high clamping pressures, high energy efficiency and convenient automated operations. Forwell’s hydraulic pump units also feature an easy to adjust air pressure valve to effectively control the systems air pressure.
