VPower R The system highlights » Rotary table clamping unit without central tie-bar A distinctive feature of the VPower is its optimally accessible rotary table system which, unlike its predecessor model, has dispensed with a central tie-bar in the rotation center. The servo-driven rotary table has been combined with a 2-tie-bar portal clamping unit equipped with two traveling cylinders positioned on the outside for fast opening and closing. » 2-tie-bar clamping unit modeled on nature The design of the clamping unit has followed a model from nature to make it both rigid and light. The new UNIFORCE®...

VPower R CLAMPING UNIT Top scores for ergonomics and force distribution The clamping system of the VPower machine series has incorporated in its technology proven, stress-optimized design elements from nature. It takes the form of a 2-tie-bar portal system offering wellbalanced force transmission combined with light weight. The movements are carried out via two low-volume fast-stroking cylinders, while the clamping force is applied via two pulling high-pressure cylinders inside the frame base and the crosshead. NEW: UNIFORCE® compensation plate system for maximum mold protection A new feature...

ROTARY TABLES Fast and precise » All rotary tables are equipped with servo drives for short rotation times. » Available for either oscillating 2-station operation or rotating 2-, 3- or 4-station operation » Precise positioning through electronic rotation angle control » Dynamic, highly accurate end position control » End position definition through indexing » Low height and thus overall ergonomically favorable working height of the clamping unit » All rotary tables come with a central opening for insertion of cable and/or tube connections (only for oscillating operation), or a rotating conduit...

INJECTION UNIT Versatile horizontal – vertical Proven plasticizing technology » All screws from 25 mm upwards come with a 22:1 L/D ratio. » All injection aggregates offer a wide range of injection pressures (from 3000 bar for the smallest and up to about 1600 bar for the largest screw diameters). » Moment-free nozzle contact through axial positioning of the traveling cylinders for the plasticizing aggregate » Barrels can be inserted into different injection aggregates when the screw diameter is identical. » Easy access to the nozzle thanks to diagonally arranged traveling cylinders for the nozzle...

INJECTION UNIT Flexibly horizontal or vertical Versatile convertibility between H and V injection The clamping units in various sizes are combined with a compact drive module consisting of a frame which houses hydraulic pumps and servo-electric drives and an electric control cabinet. This combination facilitates a minimal footprint. The installation points for the injection units are designed to enable quick and easy conversion from horizontal to vertical configuration and vice versa, for example to meet varying production requirements. Of course, 2- or 3-color versions with two or three injection...

DRIVE TECHNOLOGY Energy efficiency through “Drive-on-Demand” Responsive, precise, thrifty “Drive-on-Demand” is the innovative combination consisting of a responsive, speed-controlled, air-cooled servo motor and a fixed displacement pump. This drive unit is only activated when required for movements and pressure generation. During cooling periods or cycle breaks for parts handling, the servo drive is switched off and consumes no energy. During operation, “Drive-on-Demand” is the basis for highly dynamic, controlled machine movements and short cycle times. As in the SmartPower machine series, the...

VPower PRODUCTION CELL With WITTMANN automation The efficiency of assembly injection molding is largely determined by the efficiency of insert handling. Thanks to their fundamentally re-designed clamping unit, VPower injection molding machines offer an unprecedented level of accessibility and ergonomic operation. This facilitates and increases productivity in parts handling by operating staff and reduces the necessary expense for connection of handling robots. Many years of automation expertise With its extensive product portfolio of auxiliary equipment and injection molding machines, WITTMANN...

UNILOG B8 Complex matters simplified The UNILOG B8 machine control system is the WITTMANN BATTENFELD solution to facilitate the operation of complex processes for human operators. For this purpose, the integrated industrial PC has been equipped with an enlarged intuitive touch screen operator terminal. The visualization screen is the interface to the new Windows® 10 loT operating system, which offers extensive process control functions. Next to the pivotable monitor screen, a connected panel/handset is mounted on the machine’s central console. UNILOG B8 Highlights » Operating logic with a high...

The process in constant view » SmartEdit SmartEdit is a visual, icon-based cycle sequence programming facility, which enables direct addition of special functions (core pulls, air valves, etc.) based on a standard process via touch operation on the screen. In this way, a total user-defined sequence can be compiled from a sequence menu. This machine cycle, visualized either horizontally or vertically, can be adjusted simply and flexibly to the process requirements by finger touch with “drag & drop” movements. The advantages – Icon visualization ensures clarity. – Clear events sequence through...
