Implement SMED in your Quick Mold Change program with the FasTie Quick Ejector System. In an injection molding press, the FasTie system quickly “ties-in” the mold ejector plate to the press ejection system, dramatically reducing mold change time. The greatest savings are realized in presses where space is limited and the ejector system is difficult to tie in using solid knockout bars.

The FasTie coupler may be permanently mounted to the press ejector plate. The quick-connect locking mechanism in the coupler snaps mechanically onto the mold-mounted pull stud during mold installation.
To release the knockouts, apply shop air to the coupler. The coupler opens to release the pull stud, disconnecting the press and mold ejector plates. The coupler remains in the open position, ready for a new mold to be set.
For multiple knockout locations, an air manifold is recommended to release all couplers simultaneously. See inside catalog pages for installation examples.
The FasTie couplers and pull studs are available in 4 sizes to suit various press sizes: 1", 1-3/8", 2" and 3".
Mounting accessories such as center adapters and knockout bars are available to facilitate installation without additional machining to presses or injection molds.
