90° Mould Flipper Installation at Motherson Group, Oragadam, Chennai

Efficient mould handling is an essential part of modern manufacturing and toolroom operations. When heavy moulds need to be lifted, repositioned, inspected or rotated, having the right mould handling equipment can make the process more controlled, systematic and efficient.

SXKH India recently completed the successful installation and demonstration of a 90° Mould Flipper at Motherson Group, Oragadam, Chennai.

The installation demonstrates the practical application of an SXKH Mould Flipper for controlled mould rotation and handling in a real manufacturing environment.

SXKH 90° Mould Flipper Installation at Motherson Group

The installation at Motherson Group showcased the complete operating sequence of the 90 Degree Mould Flipper, from initial mould lifting and placement through controlled rotation and final mould removal.

The demonstrated process included:

Mould Lifting → Mould Placement → Lifting Ring Removal → Lock Release → 90° Flipping → Locking → Mould Removal

Following a defined sequence during mould handling is important when working with heavy and valuable moulds. The SXKH Mould Flipper provides a dedicated solution for controlled mould rotation, helping manufacturing and toolroom teams handle mould positioning more systematically.

What Is a 90° Mould Flipper?

A 90° Mould Flipper, also known as a Mould Flipper Machine or Mould Rotation Machine, is industrial equipment designed to rotate moulds through 90 degrees in a controlled manner.

Moulds used in automotive, plastic injection moulding and other manufacturing applications can be large and heavy. During mould maintenance, inspection, servicing or assembly, operators may need access to different sides of the mould.

A dedicated Mould Flipper Machine provides a practical solution for these mould handling requirements.

How Does a 90° Mould Flipper Work?

The operating process demonstrated during the SXKH India installation at Motherson Group follows a structured sequence.

1. Mould Lifting

The mould is lifted using the appropriate lifting equipment and prepared for placement on the mould flipper.

2. Mould Placement

The mould is carefully positioned on the Mould Flipper platform.

3. Lifting Ring Removal

After the mould is properly positioned and secured according to the operating procedure, the lifting ring is removed.

4. Lock Release

The relevant locking mechanism is released before the rotation operation.

5. 90° Mould Flipping

The Mould Flipper rotates the mould through 90 degrees, providing controlled repositioning.

6. Locking

Once the mould reaches the required position, the locking mechanism secures it in place.

7. Mould Removal

The mould can then be removed according to the facility's established handling procedure.

This step-by-step operation demonstrates how a dedicated mould handling system can be incorporated into an industrial toolroom workflow.

Why Use a Mould Flipper Machine?

Mould handling can become challenging when large or heavy moulds need to be turned or repositioned for maintenance and servicing.

A 90 Degree Mould Flipper can support manufacturing facilities by providing a dedicated method for mould rotation and positioning.

Potential applications include:

• Mould maintenance
• Mould inspection
• Mould servicing
• Toolroom operations
• Mould assembly and disassembly
• Access to different mould surfaces
• Controlled mould positioning
• Manufacturing and engineering operations

The right mould handling equipment should always be selected according to the mould's weight, dimensions, configuration and specific application requirements.

90° Mould Flipper for Toolroom and Manufacturing Applications

Toolrooms and manufacturing facilities frequently need to access different areas of a mould during inspection, maintenance and repair.

A Mould Flipper Machine can help make this process more systematic by allowing the mould to be rotated to the required position.

The equipment can be relevant for industries and applications such as:

• Automotive component manufacturing
• Plastic injection moulding
• Tool and mould manufacturing
• Mould maintenance
• Die and mould servicing
• Industrial toolrooms
• Engineering manufacturing facilities

For manufacturers handling heavy moulds on a regular basis, dedicated mould handling equipment can become an important part of an organised toolroom workflow.
