MUD Quick-Change™ Systems Increased productivity, decreased tooling costs
Benefits of the Master Unit Die concept Reduces overall tooling investment e Facilitates lean manufacturing Cuts setup time and labor costs Maximizes production uptime Simplifies mold installation Improves mold design efficiencies Enables incremental cavity expansion Enhanced series insert Easier maintenance, handling and storage Solid style insert MUD frames and inserts The MUD Quick-Change" System is available in three frame styles(the MUd U frame, the MUD H frame, and the MUD Double H frame) and in sizes suitable for the smallest air-operated molding machines up to 500-ton machines. Insert molds are available in standard or T-style design. All Quick-Change frames are precision made to exacting tolerances and are easily matched to the specifications of individual machines. Each frame is engineered for extra strength and rigidity and is designed for maximum molding versatility U Series Qluick-Change frames Ideally suited for injection molding the MUD U frame offers tremendous design flexibility. It is the most popular type of MUD frame. The U frame accepts both standard and T-style companion insert molds. Designed to accept a single interchangeable insert mold, the versatile MUd U frame can be easily adapted to double insert production with the addition of an optional removable center bar and two smaller inserts The master Unit Die Instant Connect M waterline system is an exceptional option Double H Series Quick-Change frames Double h frames offer all of the benefits of h frames with twice the production because they enable simultaneous molding of four insert molds. Blank inserts or runner shut-offs may be used to permit running of fewer than four insert molds Like the MUD H frame model, the benefits of both Quick-Change tooling and hot runner molding can be combined with the addition of a manifold system
