DROSSBACH Tool Exchange PTX

The PTX tool exchange sytem comprises:

• Memory plates for the die heads: One-time adjustment of the correct position of the die heads and calibrations to the corrugator. This position will be fixed on the memory plate, during the change of diameter this plate remains at the die head so that this position will be resumed for the next production. Further time-consuming adjustment of the die head is not necessary anymore. The production can start at once.
• Quick change flange for extruder adapters: As standard the adapters are connected to the extruder with 6 to 12 bolts. With the quick change flange the previous screwing is past, as this is now connected with a folding hinge safe and easy to the extruder adapters. Even a heating band is integrated.

• Mold block change: In order to speed up the change of mold blocks the HD 1200 corrugator is now equipped with swinging doors, this accelerates the access to the inside of the machine. The heating elements of the parking station can be folded aside to have more space to work. At the push of a button the mold blocks are driving on a changing table which will be installed at the exit of the machine. In this way the mold blocks or mold block inserts can be taken very easy outside the machine. Just as easy the new mold blocks are driving back into the machine.
