I worked at a plastic injection molding plant about 20 years ago. We had 18 injection presses ranging from 150 ton to 800 ton. The molds were all bolted into the platens and we had to water everything by hooking lines up every time.. Only one press had a robot picker for the parts, everything else dropped onto a conveyor belt. We even had an oldie style press where you twisted and turned knobs to make the adjustments on injection pressure, hold time, etc.. We had one mold setter and one material stock handler for each shift in molding.
