Abstract
A mold exchanger system includes a transfer device for transferring a mold into, and from a vulcanizing machine. The transfer device has a height adjusting mechanism for adjusting the transferring height of the mold, and a positioning mechanism for positioning the mold relative to the vulcanizing machine. The mold exchanger system has a simplified structure and yet allows the mold to be precisely centered and positioned relative to the vulcanizing machine, and to be smoothly transferred into, and removed from the vulcanizing machine, and significantly reducing the transfer time and the removing time to thereby improve the mold exchanging efficiency.
