As a global manufacturer, Canon understands that injection molders face unique challenges. Long part cooling times and mold changeover downtime are common barriers to productivity for many operations. To address these challenges in its own factory, Canon developed a system that allows an operator to run two different molds on a single molding machine. With over 30 years of experience, Wayne Daniel will introduce the Shuttle Mold System, present some of its ideal use cases, and explain how it can meaningfully impact operational productivity.
Primary Topics:
- Get up to double molding machine capacity
- Increase production flexibility
- Almost eliminate mold changeover downtime
