  • Web process offers smooth finishes, reduced cycle times, and high stiffness-to-weight ratios.
Clamping and Injection Units:
  • Heavy-duty hydraulic clamp with adjustable tonnage and balanced force distribution.
  • Wide selection of injection units with closed-loop control for precision and flexibility.
MOSAIC+ Controller System: Features a 21.5" HD touch screen with an intuitive interface, extensive data collection, and integration with automation controls.
Energy Efficiency and Reliability: Utilizes FANUC servo-motors for reduced energy consumption, noise reduction, and increased reliability.
Recycling Capabilities: Designed to handle up to 100% regrind with a melt delivery system that accommodates contaminants.
Standard and Optional Features: Includes a 3-platen clamp system, closed-loop injection control, and various customization options for specific applications.
Proportional Hydraulic Core & Ejector Package: Machines with 500-ton capacity include 2 cores and 2 ejectors, while machines over 750-ton capacity feature 4 cores and 2 ejectors. Includes a semi-automatic tie bar puller, mold air system, and pneumatic core package.
Extruder Specifications: Equipped with an electromechanical variable speed drive, AC motor, and heavy-duty gear reducer. Features a Xaloy 101 or equivalent barrel for corrosion and abrasion resistance, with options for abrasive materials. Includes a nitrogen port, dynamic mixing screw section, high-efficiency air barrel cooling, water-cooled feed throat, and a relief valve for purging.
Optional Configurations: Includes gas assist controllers, cavity pressure control systems, hot runner control systems, and quick-mold change systems.
M-Powered Digital Transformation: A suite of services leveraging IIoT technology for real-time machine learning, offering insights into operations, manufacturing quality, uptime, and power usage. Features alerts for maintenance, reduces unplanned outages, and increases productivity with end-to-end data protection.
