Magnetic Clamping System Improves Productivity

Introducing magnetic clamping technology from Roemheld enabled Koziol, a German-based manufacturer of plastic design products, to extend the running time of 11 injection-moulding machines. Roemheld offers two different magnetic clamping systems, each designed to meet specific needs. M-TECS 210 magnetic clamping elements are designed for high temperatures of up to 240C, for use in rubber and TS plastic processing, die casting, production of O-rings and moulded rubber parts.

M-TECS 130, the version chosen by Koziol, is a magnetic clamping system for use in TS processing in large component manufacturing, on sample machines and for small series, designed for temperatures of up to 130C. This version is optionally available with integral heating and is supplied in sizes adapted to customers' needs. Koziol decided in favour of Roemheld magnetic clamping technology as, unlike the magnetic clamping plates offered by competitors, they are equipped with long pole magnets instead of square pole magnets, thus enabling the safe clamping of very small moulds without additional aids.

According to Roemheld, its magnetic clamping technology provides shorter set-up times, which lead to an extension of the machine running times, and thus to faster return on investment. This results in potential savings of 30,000 minutes per year, which means 500 hours during which the machines are producing instead of standing idle.
