Inclinador y volteador de moldes de matriz

> **Resumen ejecutivo**
> Dies, moulds and other heavy blocks often have to be turned 90 degrees for maintenance, inspection or storage, and doing it with a crane and chains is slow and risky.
> Our die mould upender and tilter in this video takes the load on an orange tilting cradle on a green base and turns it toward vertical.
> Whether a load can be turned follows from its **weight** and **centre of gravity**. We check both per project.

Lo que muestra el vídeo

Nuestro volteador se encuentra en la nave de la fábrica: una base verde que sostiene una cuna basculante de color naranja y rojo, con la marca FHOPE GROUP en la máquina. Una gran carga en forma de caja descansa sobre la cuna.

La cuna se muestra desde diferentes ángulos, inclinada hacia la vertical y, posteriormente, bajada y vacía. Un trabajador con mono azul se encuentra al fondo del pasillo, alejado de la máquina. El logotipo de FHOPE GROUP también aparece superpuesto en el vídeo.

Cómo funciona la cuna basculante

| Paso | Qué sucede |
|---|---|
| Load | The load is set on the cradle |
| Secure | The load is held against the cradle faces |
| Tilt | The cradle turns the load toward vertical |
| Unload | The turned load is lifted off |
| Return | The cradle goes back to flat |

Durante el giro, la carga descansa sobre dos caras de la cuna, por lo que queda sostenida en todo momento en lugar de colgar de un gancho.

Comprobando la carga

Ejemplo ilustrativo para un molde de acero:

| Artículo | Valor |
|---|---|
| Length × width × height (illustrative) | 1,200 × 800 × 600 mm |
| Volume, 1.2 × 0.8 × 0.6 | 0.576 m³ |
| Steel density | 7,850 kg/m³ |
| Weight if solid, 0.576 × 7,850 | about 4,522 kg |

Un molde real con cavidades pesa menos. Envíenos el peso del molde y el dibujo, y comprobaremos el tamaño de la base y el centro de gravedad.

Donde un volteador de moldes de troqueles ayuda

| Use | What the turn does |
|---|---|
| Mould maintenance | Presents the parting face for cleaning and repair |
| Die change | Turns the die to the press orientation |
| Inspection | Shows the underside without a crane flip |
| Storage | Stands moulds upright to save floor space |

Turning on a cradle replaces crane flips, where the load swings and lands on its edge. For round loads, see our [multipurpose automatic coil tilter with slide table](https://www.fhopepack.com/videos/multipurpose-automatic-coil-tilter-with-slide-table/) and our [large and long coil upenders](https://www.fhopepack.com/videos/large-and-long-coil-upenders-in-real-world-operation/).

Controles y seguridad

The cradle turns a heavy load. Keep people clear of the cradle and the load's path while it tilts, and stand away from the machine as the worker in our video does.

Las normas aplicables dependen del mercado de destino. Para los mercados CE, la norma ISO 12100 establece el método de evaluación de riesgos y la norma EN 415-10 establece los requisitos generales para las máquinas de envasado.

Lista de verificación de selección para un volteador de moldes de troquel

- [ ] Heaviest die or mould weight.
- [ ] Length, width and height of the largest load.
- [ ] Centre of gravity position.
- [ ] Turning angle needed.
- [ ] How the load arrives: crane or forklift.
- [ ] Espacio en planta y suministro eléctrico.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre ingeniería

Q: What does a die mould upender do?
A: It turns a heavy die or mould toward vertical on a tilting cradle instead of a crane flip.

Q: How do you estimate the weight of a solid steel mould block?
A: Volume times steel density: about 4,522 kg for 1,200 × 800 × 600 mm at 7,850 kg/m³ in our example; a mould with cavities weighs less.

Q: Why is a cradle safer than a crane flip?
A: The load rests on two faces during the turn instead of swinging on a hook.

Q: What should I send for sizing?
A: The heaviest mould weight, its drawing and centre of gravity.

Q: Does anyone stand at the machine during the tilt?
A: No. Keep clear of the cradle and the load's path.
