OverviewThe precisionMolding series provides a standardized, cost-effective all‑electric solution for producing simple plastic parts. It is an entry-level machine that combines high performance, straightforward operation and short delivery times. Typical application sectors include packaging, electrical & electronics, medical and automotive.
Key features- All‑electric machine concept for energy-efficient operation
- Large mold mounting plates with broad support of the moving platen on precision linear guides to ensure accurate mold parallelism
- 5-point toggle system: large mold opening stroke; robust, smooth-running mechanism with minimal tolerance; spindle drive for crosshead with low inertia; uniform force transmission to the moving platen
- Versatile servo drive technology: servo motor for efficient mold movement and dynamic clamping force build-up; high resolution for precise mold positioning; integrated mold safety functions
- Symmetric force transmission for leak-free nozzle contact using two parallel ball screws, centered force introduction and electric-driven nozzle contact
- MCP1 control (MCP1 / MC P1): modern 15" multi-touchscreen with hardkeys for intuitive operation and easy MES integration
- Optional APCplus (Adaptive Process Control) for improved process stability and zero-defect production
Advantages- Efficient: high-precision injection molding with excellent repeatability and proven high-end plasticizing units
- Easy to operate: user-friendly MCP1 control; straightforward integration of automation solutions; interfaces for higher-level control systems
