Mold Solutions Target Safety, Storage and Productivity
NPE2024: Globeius and its suppliers are showcasing solutions focused on decreasing downtime, reducing energy consumption, increasing safety and more in an injection mold shop.
Globeius sells and services a wide variety of machinery and equipment for the North and South American plastics industry. The company is exhibiting a range of molding solutions targeting the transport, storage and performance of injection molds.
Globeius is presenting its range of GT Cranes that are designed specifically for the injection molding industry. With a focus on making mold transport through the plant and mold changes simple and safe, the GT Cranes make a single-man operation possible.
They have up to 55,000-lb capacity and a horizontal, vertical, angled and rotating boom arm dexterity. Adjustable speed simplifies the placement of the mold in the injection molding machine, while the use of a remote control allows one operator to perform tasks that are usually done by several people. In addition, the overloading system is designed to block the operator from performing potentially unsafe activities.
Customers will also find Rack Storage injection molding racking and storage solutions at the Globeius booth. A heavy-duty modular mold racking system can hold shelf loads from 4,400-22,000 lb with an electric actuator. In addition, the Rack Storage options reduce floor space cost by up to 50%; reduce forklift time and costs; improve safety; and more. The modular design options include rear panels, side panels, covers, doors, etc.
Customers can also learn about the latest Flosense mold control from MouldPro, which is designed to optimize mold cooling to help injection molders improve part quality and maximize productivity. The Flosense IQ-One interfaces with a dedicated TCU/mold heater and controls the pump speed and temperature, which Globeius says will reduce energy consumption significantly and optimize the thermal process.
