Flexible solution for molds up to 700 Kg

MLV – The Manual Mold Loading Vehicle from Stäubli

The Stäubli MLV is the ideal solution for fast, safe, and flexible mold transport in the plastics industry. For molds up to 700 kg, it streamlines changeover processes and enhances Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

The system is fully manually operated, requiring no power supply and no electrical interfaces. As a result, the MLV is immediately deployable and operates independently in virtually any production environment.

Thanks to its roller-equipped transfer deck and integrated foot pump, the transfer height can be continuously adjusted - delivering maximum flexibility across different machine types. Molds are secured with a dual safety mechanism to ensure the highest level of process reliability.

For special requirements, Stäubli develops customized solutions - for example, to accommodate higher mold weights or unique geometries.

Flexible installation of the roller deck

The MLV roller deck can be oriented for driving direction or rotated 90 degrees, adapting to your facility's space requirements.

    Roller deck mounted in the moving direction

    This version is ideal when there is sufficient space in front of the machine and ensures comfortable operation.

    Roller deck rotated by 90°

    This version is particularly suitable for limited space in front of the injection molding machine and enables optimal use of the available area.
