FasTie Quick Ejector Tie-In System quickly "ties-in" the mould ejector plate to the press ejection system in an injection moulding press, dramatically reducing mould change time. The greatest time savings are realized in presses where space is limited and the ejector system is difficult to tie in using solid knock-out bars. The FasTie coupler is permanently mounted to the press ejector plate. The quick-connect locking mechanism in the coupler snaps mechanically onto the mould-mounted stud during mould installation. To release the ejectors, apply shop air to the coupler. The coupler opens to release the stud, disconnecting the press and tooling ejector plates. The coupler remains in the open position, ready for a new mould to be set. For multiple ejector locations, an air manifold is recommended to release all couplers simultaneously. Two FasTie sizes are available: 1-inch model for presses 500 tons and under, and 2-inch model for presses larger than 500 tons.
Fixed length knock-out bars are blank on one end for on-site finishing. Longer bars are available. Faster Mould Changes Various Thread Sizes Available Flexible Modular Installation No Mould Modifications Required Reduced Wear, parts stay connected during moulding cycles Hardened Steel Materials See Also : Fastie installation example Fastie Patent No. 6,379,072 SpeedBar Patent No. 6,315,544
