QMC 123 & QMC 123 Advanced：2 solutions for distinctive needs

The next generation of QMC 123 magnetic clamping systems offers many advantages during quick mold change operations: total security, high efficiency, and optimized profitability. Active safety, interactivity with the operator, and exact measurement of the clamping force are innovative functions made possible by the IMAG technology developed by Stäubli. Thanks to the design and many inspections carried out during clamping operations and production, these Stäubli solutions significantly help to increase productivity.

The brand new QMC 123 Advanced Compact complements Stäubli's QMC 123 range. It has been designed to meet specific requirements in terms of compactness and clamping performance for small tonnage presses.

    By integrating the many features enabling anticipation of malfunctions, the QMC solution creates a reduction in machine downtime.

    • The interactive control panel enables the validation of the safety points during mold changing operations.
    • Mold movement anticipation function greatly helps to avoid mold fall
    • Thanks to IMAG technology, the system accurately controls. The operator is alerted if it is damaged or insufficient with regard to the force exerted on the mold.
    • The IMAG-Editor software enables the clamping force for each mold to be calculated beforehand, depending on the press on which it will be used. With this information any problems can be anticipated ahead of production.
