drawoh,
I have a 2 piece die, the top half is bolted solid to a machine frame the other half is moved up and down by a pneumatic cylinder on linear shafts. The purpose of the die is to seal 2 sheets of film together. When the lower die contacts the upper die there are air bladders in the upper...
I am looking for a quick release ball connector similar to a hose connector. My application would be to hold two dies together under 35,000 lbs. of pressure so I don't need a pneumatic or hydraulic coupler that allows anything to pass thru the connector I just need a solid connector that can...
Thank you Pud for steering me to the injection molding machines. I can probably get some good ideas from them.
On our thermoforming machines it takes heat, pressure, and time to seal the top film to the bottom film. You can run longer seal times at lower pressure but time is critical we want...
Thank you for your ideas. As you suspect there isn't enough room for larger cylinders, and the hydraulic cylinders are frowned upon because of possible contamination with the food from the oil.
We do have a locking device that rotates into place when the die is in the closed position, the...
I work for a manufacturing company that makes thermoforming machines for the food industry and we are in the process of creating a new machine. The way our current machine works is it starts with a roll of film that gets pulled by a gripper chain into a form station which consists of a die set...
