The MechIndex system from Ermanno Balzi is a mechanical device designed to perform rotary movements of plates within plastic injection molds. It is suitable for use in both multi-material molds and molds where it is advantageous to have multiple stations for insert placement or part extraction.

Thanks to the integrated helical guides, the mechanism converts the linear motion of the press ejector into a rotary movement of the plate by 90-, 120- or 180-degrees, depending on the selected configuration.

The dimensions of the MechIndex can be customized according to the required linear stroke — needed for the plate to exit its housing — and the specifications of the press. On request, the system can be supplied with an integrated plate cooling unit.
