MILACRON › ELEKTRON

THE ELEKTRON IS THE PRODUCT OF MILACRON’S YEARS OF INNOVATION IN ALL-ELECTRIC INJECTION MOLDING TECHNOLOGY. IT IS DESIGNED FOR A FULL RANGE OF APPLICATIONS AND OFFERS OUTSTANDING VALUE TO MANUFACTURERS. Uses 60% less energy & 90% less water than hydraulic injection molding machines Parallel movements for optimal cycle times Minimal rejects with maximum repeatability Ideal for cleanroom operations since no oil is used MILACRON › ELEKTRO

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Medical Consumer Goods MILACRON › ELEKTRON

Since 1985, Milacron has been on the leading edge of clean, efficient electric injection molding. Today, we offer all-electrics in a wide range of sizes to meet nearly any need. USES 60% LESS ENERGY & 90% LESS WATER THAN HYDRAULIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINES MILACRON › ELEKTRON

OPTIMIZED MOVEMENT FOR OPTIMAL CYCLE TIMES • All axes can operate in parallel - standard on all machines • FEA-optimized construction of all moving & stressed parts • Power & acceleration optimized toggle system - large mold opening strokes in a compact design As with accumulator-driven hydraulic machines, the ELEKTRON offers parallel movements as a standard feature. The result is excellent machine dynamics: • Precise positioning of ejector via electromechanical drive system & ballscrew drives • Platen guides allow for high-speed operation with perfect platen parallelism, even for heavier...

PRECISION All-electrics set the standard for movement repeatability. Exact movements are assured by the machines‘ drive components and robust mechanics. The precision of servo-driven axes is significantly greater than even the best hydraulic systems can provide. This makes the ELEKTRON ideal for the reliable production of high-precision parts. • Loadcell for direct, precise & repeatable monitoring of the injection & holding melt pressure • Fast, repeatable injection movements with parallel independent plasticizing • Linear guide for clamp & injection unit • Injection unit carriage movement...

CLEAN NO OIL DISPOSAL, LEAKS OR SLIPPING HAZARDS Milacron’s all-electric machines can run as standard in a cleanroom environment regardless of the customer’s requirement profile: • Stand-alone machine in an entire cleanroom • Modular cleanroom systems to operate in a non-clean room environment • Turn-key solutions that include automation, part handling, heating/ cooling & resin handling systems MILACRON › ELEKTRO

ENDURA TOUCH • High-performance controls from B&R • Intuitive operations via 15” color touchscreen • No page more than two clicks away • Keypad for entering notes & information • 32 function keys with LEDs arranged around the touchscreen • Various interfaces (3 USB, RS232, Ethernet) for connecting external devices • Save mold data & screenshots to USB keys • Setpoint & actual values shown as absolute values • Plausibility check on values entered MILACRON › ELEKTRON • Process monitoring with graphically displayed minimum, maximum & average values • Graphical display of 33 parameters for the...

The new ENDURA touch controls were developed especially to meet the requirements of the ELEKTRON series. Machine operators will easily find their way around the system right from the start. Every page can be accessed directly from an overview page Enter pressure, velocity, time & stroke Enter mold data for mold closing & opening Cylinder heating, including heating energy indicator & monitoring MILACRON › ELEKTRON
