Mold upender is a device used in the manufacturing industry to rotate or flip large molds or heavy objects with ease. It is designed to prevent damage to the mold or object during the rotation process.
Mold upenders can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction. It's commonly used in the production of molds for plastic injection molding, blow molding, and rotational molding.
The mold upender typically consists of a base and a rotating platform, which is powered by hydraulic or electric motors. The platform is designed to securely hold the mold or object and can rotate up to 180 degrees, allowing for easy access for cleaning, maintenance, or repair.
Mold upenders can be customized to meet the specific needs of different industries and applications. It can be designed to handle different weight capacities and sizes of molds or objects, and can be equipped with safety features to ensure the safety of operators during the rotation process.
Features
-
It has a powerful electric motor that provides strong driving force. The motor also allows for soft starts and stops for smooth operation.
-
An inverter is used to adjust the speed of the motor and thus the machine. This enables variable speed control.
-
It has an individual electric control box and panel to manage the electric components.
-
The inverter controls the speed, acceleration and deceleration of the motor to ensure soft starts and stops.
-
It has a steady worm gear reducer which provides continuous and stable rotation.
-
Safety features like electric and mechanical limits/constraints are installed to restrict movements and prevent uncontrolled operation. This ensures safe usage.
-
A position locking system allows the machine to stop at any point during operation. This provides more control and flexibility.
-
It has a durable and strong structure to withstand the forces generated during working.
-
It meets CE standards for electrical safety, covering safety and power connections.
