Fixed Bar Installation
The following installation instructions are for reference
only. Installation may vary depending on knock-out
arrangement and pneumatic connection location.
1. Install studs into the mold ejector plate. See figure 3. If
the press has a non-adjustable ejector home position,
insert washers under the stud so the shoulder is flush
with the back face of the mold clamp plate. Use a thread-
locking compound where threaded parts connect to
prevent movement during use.
2. Insert the ejector bar and coupler through the platen and
into the press ejector plate. For presses with non-
adjustable ejector home position, install the coupler (in
the open position) so it extends 1/8"(3.18mm) past the
platen surface. The coupler, in the closed position, will
be flush with the platen surface. See figure 4.
3. Clamp A side mold plate to the machine, making sure the
mold is positioned squarely.
4. Install washer, nut and pneumatic connector per figure 5.
Use a thread-locking compound to prevent movement
during use.
5. If using the manifold accessory, mount the manifold and
tubing so they do not interfere with moving parts.
6. Connect shop air lines to the
F
AS
T
IE
couplers.
Couplers
must be in the open position (see figure 1) before
connection to male studs, otherwise coupler damage
will occur.
7. Move the platen forward so the coupler and stud are
connected.
8. Clamp the B side of the mold to the platen. Tighten the
nut to the press ejector plate after Fastie components are
coupled. This assures alignment of the FasTie system.
9. Follow “Test Installation” procedure on the next page.
SpeedBar™ Adjustable Knock-Out
Bar Installation
The following installation instructions are for reference
only. Installation may vary depending on knock-out
arrangement and pneumatic connection location.
1. Install studs into the mold ejector plate. See figure 3. Use
a thread-locking compound where threaded parts connect
to prevent movement during use.
2. Shorten the SpeedBar to slightly shorter than the
working length to avoid interference during mold setup.
3. Insert the SpeedBar and coupler through the platen and
into the press ejector plate. The coupler must be in the
open position. See figure 1.
4. Clamp A side mold plate to the machine, making sure the
mold is positioned squarely.
5. Install washer, nut and pneumatic connector per figure 5.
Use a thread-locking compound to prevent movement
during use.
6. If using the manifold accessory, mount the manifold and
tubing so they do not interfere with moving parts.
7. Connect shop air lines to the
F
AS
T
IE
couplers.
Couplers
must be in the open position (see figure 1) before
connection to male studs, otherwise coupler damage
will occur.
8. Move the platen forward so it just meets the ejector
housing.
9. Clamp the B side of the mold to the platen. With your
hand, push the SpeedBar locking sleeve toward the mold
and turn it clockwise (looking from the nut end) to
lengthen until the female coupler snaps shut, then
release.
10. Tighten the nut to the press ejector plate.
11. Follow “Test Installation” procedure on the next page.
