THE INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE WILL INCREASINGLY BE USED IN A MORE FLEXIBLE MANNER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SMALLER BATCHES WITH SHORTER REACTION TIMES AND WITH HIGHER VALUED INJECTION MOLDS. A DECISIVE FACTOR TO MEET THIS GOAL IS ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR THE AUTOMATION OF THE MOLD CHANGE PROCESS. THE TECHNICAL LEVEL OF THE MOLD CHANGE EQUIPMENT AND ITS RELATED NECESSARY INVESTMENT ARE DETERMINED BY MOLD TYPE AND SIZE, FREQUENCY OF CHANGES, AS WELL AS THE SIZE OF THE PRODUCTION BATCH. THIS PAPER SHOULD BE A GUIDE FOR THE PROPER SELECTION OF MOLD CHANGE EQUIPMENT.
