Mould change in 10 minutes from last good part to first good part

Fast mould change on a small injection moulding machine made cost-efficient: On our hydraulic tie-bar-less victory 330/80 (US model: victory 330/85) with 800 kN clamping force we will show how fast and easy your mould change could be. The tie-bar-less series with ENGEL ecodrive servo-hydraulics is the ideal machine platform for efficient production of a large variety of parts providing more space for your tools and easy access, e. g. for a robot.

Roembke Mfg. & Design, Inc. (Ossian/Indiana, USA) provided the tools: salad tongues and a fruit bowl designed by Formfinder LLC (West Linn/Oregon, USA).



The solution we are showing is a quick mould change system using mechanical clamping system QMC by Staubli (Bayreuth, Germany, Duncan/South Carolina and Novi/Michigan, USA). The tools are transported on a MLV mould loading vehicle also by Staubli on which the tool can be smoothly moved on the shop floor, to the machine and into mounting position.

Mould identification with RFID guarantees that the machine controller is using the correct data set without additional changing of the machine settings and moulding program.


iQ weight control software is key to fast adjusting injection cycle parameters to variations in the material or production environment - shot by shot. This does not only help improve your part quality during production, but it will also significantly reduce the time to get the first good part after changing the mould.


The parts are taken out and positioned on a conveyor by an ENGEL viper 12 linear robot with quick change system and RFID identification of the end-of-arm-tool.
