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.
SPEEDBAR® - Adjustable Knock-Out Bar (SPEEDBAR® shown with FASTIE® Coupler attached)
SpeedBar is an adjustable length knock-out bar that can quickly compensate for variations in different moulds. Used with the FasTie system, mould ejector plate tie-in and adjustment times are reduced to seconds. The adjustment sleeve is easily rotated to change the bar length up to 1-inch in increments of .006". Once the desired length is set, the spring-loaded sleeve securely locks in your adjustment.
Fixed length knock-out bars are blank on one end for on-site finishing. Longer bars are available.
