Reducing the time taken to change a die is fundamental to the SMED process — Single-Minute Exchange of Dies. Process automation, performance, reliability and innovation are the main criteria detailed in the QMC (Quick Mold Change) solutions from Stäubli in its quality program and productivity optimization.

These considerably reduce downtime and offer a much needed and flexible approach to frequent die changes, cost reduction, time wasted and stock redudancy. 

Stäubli’s expertise in loading and mold clamping, energy connection, and robotic systems for the plastics industry mean we can offer targeted or global solutions.
