CUMSA Introduces the Insert Changer (IC): A Faster Way to Change Mold Designs Without Stopping Production
In an industry where every minute of downtime impacts output and costs, CUMSA is redefining how mold version changes are done. The Insert Changer (IC) is the company’s latest innovation—designed to dramatically reduce changeover time and keep production moving, even when designs or versions need to change.
The IC allows inserts to be replaced directly through the parting line, eliminating the need for mold disassembly, tools, or lengthy interruptions. What traditionally takes hours can now be completed in under a minute, turning previously unproductive downtime into valuable production time.
Developed for maximum efficiency, the system minimizes mold handling while simplifying maintenance and increasing operational safety. Thanks to its parting-line access, molds can remain in the machine during insert changes, ensuring a faster, smoother workflow.
At the core of the IC is CUMSA’s Air-Swap System. By simply applying air to the designated channel, operators can change inserts quickly and precisely—no tools, no disassembly, and no unnecessary complexity.
Designed as a next-generation, modular solution, the IC is available in two sizes and supports multiple applications, making it adaptable to a wide range of mold requirements. Its adjustable height ensures consistent precision and uniform results, even when working with different designs or materials.
Built for industries that demand speed, flexibility, and high precision, the Insert Changer enables seamless transitions between product variations without compromising quality. It represents a significant step forward in modular mold design, helping manufacturers optimize productivity while extending tool longevity.
With the IC, insert changes are no longer a bottleneck—they’re a competitive advantage.
