OUTSTANDING ACCESSIBILITY FROM THE NOZZLE TO THE EJECTOR Easy viewing and perfect accessibility The large, transparent windows allow optimal viewing into the machine. The large doors in the safety housing can be completely folded back or slid open. All important areas are thus very easily accessible, greatly reducing set-up times. More comfortable work on the machine The insulating mats in the pump area reduce the volume of the machine by 3 dB. For the human ear that means noise is reduced by half. YOUR BENEFITS: ∙ Everything at a glance ∙ Fast and efficient setup and maintenance work ∙ Enough...

APCPLUS (ADAPTIVE PROCESS CONTROL) With APCplus, material-related fluctuations can be compensated for precisely and quickly. The APCplus function analyzes and controls the injection molding process continuously for all thermoplastic series. Intelligent machines APCplus recognizes process fluctuations, which can be caused by changing ambient conditions or fluctuating viscosity, and independently adopts counteractive measures. Based on the melt compressibility of different materials, APCplus always ensures the cavity is completely filled. You will therefore benefit from a uniformly high component...
