The quick mould changeover system for forming and shearing presses represents, thanks to the electro-permanent technology, the most efficient way to reduce the required time to change the moulds and to simplify clamping operations, avoiding any efforts for the operator.
ADVANTAGES
OPTIMAL CLAMPING
The magnetic system SYMPLI, unlike the conventional clamping systems, generates a clamping force which is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the mould sub plate, thus avoiding any tension and deformation. The mould maintains its mechanical characteristics, guaranteeing better quality and work-piece repeatability.
VERSATILITY
The SYMPLI system can be adapted to all types of presses provided with threaded holes or “T” slots, thus allowing the use of the entire available surface of the press plates. Whatever their shape and size, the moulds are simply clamped without any modification of the sub-plate, even if it has a QMC type standardisation.
UNIFORMITY
The magnetic chessboard structure of the SYMPLI module provides an extremely uniform clamping force on the surface, facilitating consequently its versatility. Whatever the shape of the mould to be clamped, the magnetic flux will pass through it without any problems, the dispersed fluxes will be minimised while the clamping force will be maximised.
STURDINESS
The resistance of the magnetic surface to the pressure and wear is the result of a very accurate finishing process.
A first phase of resin coating with high mechanical resistance is followed by a second one with the application of a stainless-steel cover grid in the polar spaces.
The result is a perfect mix of elasticity, robustness, impact resistance and maintenance of the magnetic system over the years.
SPEED AND EASE
The mould is clamped in a few seconds!
The SYMPLI system considerably reduces mould change times and simplifies clamping operations, avoiding any efforts for the operator.
FEATURES
ACTIVE MONITORING
If the mould is detached by more than 0.2 mm in the automatic mode, the press movements will immediately stop. In addition, the integrated sensors enable the system to be operated only if the mould is correctly positioned on the magnetic module.
CENTRING
The standard centring system allows a precise and fast positioning of the mould.
ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
The built-in electrical junction box, ensures maximum sturdiness.
FIXING HOLES
The fixing holes are designed according to EUROMAP /SPI/ JIS standards, allowing the magnetic modules to be clamped onto the press tables.
THROUGH-HOLES
Through-holes are provided on the movable side of the magnetic module upon customers’ request for the ejector rods.
INSTALLATION
The electronic control unit features devices that ensuring the safety of both operator and material. The enabling key on the remote control prevents unauthorised personnel from using the system. The simultaneous use of the safety and the MAG On and MAG Off buttons prevents unintentional activations/deactivations. A device measuring the magnetic saturation level, on the other hand, always guarantees the highest possible performance.
The SYMPLI system is operated remotely from a control panel including all the
operational functions and indicating the various system conditions. More specifically, the operator receives the
information from the panel of any possible mould detachment or of an excessive temperature reached by the magnetic module. Finally, it provides all the interface signals necessary for a perfect integration with both modern and retrofit presses. Its main feature is that it doesn’t enable the production start unless the mould is correctly positioned and magnetized.
