OverviewThe PX series is an all-electric injection molding platform designed for compact, energy-efficient and high‑productivity production cells. Configurable via a modular system, PX machines combine servo-electric clamping and injection/plasticizing axes with optional servo-hydraulic functions, advanced process control and seamless automation integration.
Key Features- All-electric clamping unit with servo-electric 5-point double toggle, dimensioned for heavy and large molds
- Precision linear guides for accurate platen guidance and superior parallelism
- Automatic mold height adjustment and automatic clamping force control for fast setup and stable production
- High-precision electric ejector offering independent parallel movement and reduced cycle times
- Servo-electric injection and plasticizing axes with optional servo-hydraulic injection movement; multiple performance classes available
- Fast nozzle contact via dual-cylinder servo-hydraulic nozzle system for uniform force and leak-free connection
- Servo drives with energy recuperation to minimize idle consumption
- Optional compact Servo Power-Pack for hydraulic core and cascade functions
- smartControl MC7: 21.5" multi-touch, ProcessDesigner logic and integrated smartCube interface
- APCplus with cascadeX and materialX for adaptive, zero-defect production
- Excellent accessibility: wide doors, removable panels and clear nozzle-area access
- Flexible parts logistics: multi-directional discharge chutes, conveyor or automated discharge
- Compact footprint through intelligent enclosure concept enabling up to ~20% space reduction
Advantages- Compact layout that reduces factory footprint and simplifies option integration
- High productivity via large platen dimensions, stable supports and modern electric main axes
- Improved energy efficiency and maintainability through low-friction guides and recuperative drives
Automation & Integration- Designed for LRXplus linear robots (single or twin) and industrial robots for compact cells
