HOW IT WORKS

TRANSFORM COOLING TIME

The Canon Shuttle Mold System transforms wasteful cooling time into production time. While one part is cooling another part is being made. Which equals less downtime, more output and virtually zero seconds wasted.

BASED ON A 38-SECOND CYCLE TIME

Since creating the Shuttle Mold System in 2014, we have used the technology to significantly increase the efficiency of Canon products.

Explore how it compares to the traditional single-mold method—and envision how it can transform your mold-making production.

FAQS

Do water lines stay connected to the dies?

The Shuttle Mold System has been uniquely designed in a way that cooling lines do not detach from the molds during transfer. For additional ease of use, regular water lines and couplers are used.

After installing the Shuttle Mold System, can I run the machine like a normal machine?

Yes. You can turn "off" the shuttling function and run it like a normal machine.

Can I use the Shuttle Mold System with an existing machine or mold?

Yes, with some modifications. Minor modifications would need to be made to the molding machine and mold. Limitations exists based on the range of molding machine size.

What is the maximum mold weight and machine size?

It varies depending on the model of Shuttle Mold System. Please contact the Canon Virginia, Inc. sales team for details at sales@cvi.canon.com
