Change mold inserts with an air hose.
A few simple tools and an air hose are all that’s needed.
Austrian moldmaker Haidlmair (North American office in Concord, Ont.) has a new quick-change system that permits changing injection mold inserts in as little as 3 minutes while the mold is mounted in the press. Called Haiflex, the system was developed for changing venting, engraving, and handle inserts in molds. Only an air hose and a few accessories are required.
