In Mold Closing System “IMC”

In Mold Closing systems are used to automatically assemble molded parts prior to ejection from the molding surface. These systems operate during the opening time of the mold to minimize the impact on cycle time. Copar uses proprietary, proven IMC designs to integrate the closing rack and maximize mold cavitation. The closing arms provide precise movement […]
