Electric drive valve gate technology

Product catalog summary
Overview
EWIKON's electric drive valve gate technology offers precision and versatility for injection moulding applications, particularly in the medical industry due to its cleanroom compatibility. The system allows for precise control of valve pin positions within a moulding cycle, accommodating a wide range of shot weights with minimal integration effort.

Drive Unit Types
1. Linear Step Motor: Available in three sizes, offering a valve pin closing force up to 1600 N, speed of 4-16 mm/s, and stroke up to 10 mm. An optional encoder provides precise monitoring and adjustment.
2. Linear Servomotor: Also available in three sizes, with a synchronous plate closing force ranging from 2500 N to 17600 N, speed of 6-30 mm/s, and stroke up to 10 mm. It includes permanent monitoring and fine adjustment capabilities.

Advantages
- High precision control of valve pin movement with increments of 0.01 mm.
- Cleanroom compatible with no aerosol emissions.
- Customizable process parameters including stroke length, speed, and timing.
- High reliability and reproducibility in processes.
- Easy mould integration and capability for complex movement profiles.

Performance and Control
The step motor drive maintains constant closing force, which can be increased by reducing speed, making it suitable for materials like polycarbonate. The system includes a touch screen control unit for up to 32 motors, offering automatic and manual modes, data storage, and integration with injection moulding machine controls.

Applications
The system supports multi-component applications, sequential and cascade injection moulding, and precise filling in family moulds. It allows for multiple valve pin positions within a cycle, enhancing functionality and integration in mould designs.

Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications for linear step motors and servomotors are provided, including dimensions, speed, stroke, and force capabilities. Controllers are available for different configurations, with options for encoder integration.

Electric drive valve gate technology-2

EWIKON electric drive valve gate technology EWIKON valve gate systems with electric drive technology and intelligent valve pin control are an ideal solution for demanding injection moulding applications. Apart from setting and moving the valve pins with utmost precision, several valve pin positions can be approached within one moulding cycle. Furthermore, the drive concept is absolutely cleanroom compatible and therefore perfectly suitable to be used for applications in the medical industry. The drive units are available in different sizes and can be combined with nozzles with a flow channel...

Electric drive valve gate technology-4

Powerful valve pin actuation The closing force of the step motor drive remains constant at all times, independently from the required valve pin stroke. Under comparable conditions - the installation dimension of the drive is a good criterion in this case - it is generally higher than the force generated by electro-magnetic drives, but can be further enlarged by the possibility to vary the valve pin speed. A general advantage of step-motor technology becomes obvious here: The slower the movement the higher the force generated. So it is possible to start the valve pin closing movement with high...

Precise and comfortable control The external touch screen control unit operates up to 32 linear step motors. With the already integrated setup software EDC (E-Drive Control) the system can be operated comfortably. For synchronous plate systems with linear servomotor the SDC (Servo Drive Control) controller is available. This control unit contains a complete servo controller that is actuated via an integrated PLC. Simple adjustment to different injection moulding machine controls by digital signals. Touch screen controller for linear step motor Controller for linear servomotor • Operates up to...

Demanding applications made easy The vast options the valve pin control offers open up new approaches to injection moulding applications and contribute to the growing tendency of integrating additional functions into the mould. Several valve pin positions are approached within one moulding cycle Time-delayed opening and closing of the valve pins Tubes and inner seals of plastic fittings are twocomponent injection-moulded within one cycle. The EWIKON electric valve gate system approaches three valve pin positions in this application. The valve pin is not only used to seal the gate, but also acts...
