Introduction

Forwell’s Die Cart / Mold Cart System provides automatic die or mold changes for a range of different machines, such as plastic injection molding machines, plastic extrusion machines and press machines. This Die Cart / Mold Cart system offers very fast, efficient and safe die and mold changes, using an advanced cart on rails system.

Conventional die or mold changes can often take over an hour, but with the Die Cart / Mold Cart System, die or mold changes are automatically completed in just a fraction of the time. Using this system, all procedures from die transfer and changing, to positioning and clamping is carried out by this system, resulting in extremely accurate die or mold changes. As the Die Cart / Mold Cart System offers very precise die or mold changes, many operational issues can be avoided such as locking screws breaking when hand tightened, and incorrect mold alignment resulting in damage to the mold or production equipment.

The Die Cart / Mold Cart System also massively increase safety and efficiency, by allowing for automatic operations and making it feasible to perform many small batch production runs. Another great feature of this system is that it can be configured to specific user needs, different production facilities and serve multiple production lines at once.

Die Cart System Layouts

Depending on whether you require a Die Cart System for a Punch Press or Injection Molding Machine multiple different Cart Layouts are possible. To see which different Cart Layouts are available please first select for which type of machining operation you require a Die Cart System. Remember Forwell can custom build a Die Cart System to fit your machining requirements, whether it be for a single machine or for a whole production line. See below for different examples of Die Cart System Layouts for Mechanical and Hydraulic Type Punch Presses.

Bidirectional Moving Cart Layout

Simultaneous 2-die change operation using two carts either side of the press. This layout allows for the fastest possible die change time.

Parallel Machine Cart Layout

Die changes are performed using a 2-die cart that serves two or more presses that are positioned along one line. This allows for a wide application of quick die changing.

Two Dies on a Moving Cart

The insertion of mold and die can be done in either way, allowing for greater flexibility of robotic arms.

Two Molds on a Moving Car

Mold Cart System with a 2-mold cart for quick and automatic horizontal loading of molds.

Single Mold on a Fixed Cart

Mold Cart System with a single mold for quick and easy loading of molds.

Double Sided Cart Layout

Mold Cart System that loads molds for machines positioned either side of the cart.

Double Sided Cart Layout

Machines are facing the same direction

Parallel Machine Cart Layout

Mold changes are performed using a 2-mold cart that serves two or more injection molding machines that are positioned along one line. This allows for a wide application of quick mold changing.
