Efficient and flexible KraussMaffier injection molding machine

KraussMaffei has once again demonstrated the excellent design and excellent structure of their CX series low-clamp injection machines. The efficient, accurate and flexible CX-series machines have challenged the production of high-quality products with competitive prices. The KM300-380CX will demonstrate the superiority and flexibility of this series of equipment at the 2006 plastics show.

The CX series machine continues the double-stencil design, reducing the closing stroke by 30%. Users can arrange more equipment in the same production area. The cantilever beam clamping mechanism makes the transfer part simpler and leaves more room for peripheral equipment. A key feature of the clamping mechanism is that it makes the template very straight. Because it has four symmetrical cylinders that provide clamping force, it can evenly distribute energy. A mold clamping system using an integrated drive cylinder enables the mold to be opened and closed quickly. The modular structure of the CX series machines facilitates the selection of suitable injection devices and the optimal adjustment of different applications. KraussMaffei has at least four screw diameters and five sizes of plasticizers for each injector assembly. The company's advanced screw design, rotary piston injection assembly and central plug provide a guarantee of high productivity and excellent fusion quality.

CX series devices have unique versatility and are widely used. The standard equipment can be easily upgraded and modified at any time to meet the complex production requirements. Multi-component injection molding technology, physical and chemical foaming technology, gas liquid assisted injection molding and decorative technology, surface forming technology, transparent molding technology (compression molding) and clean molding technology (cleanroom) provide different solutions. Combining CX equipment with automatic production lines is also convenient, and there are no special requirements for automated production.

KraussMaffei's EX all electronically controlled automatic injection machine presents a new standard in terms of efficiency, power and diversity.

KraussMaffei's EX series all-electric automatic injection machines are highly efficient, dynamic and versatile. The KM80-300EX at the plastics show in 2006 demonstrated the high efficiency of this type of equipment and demonstrated the revolutionary mechanics of the EX series machines during use. The EX series machines use a unique Z-shaped toggle-type mold clamping device and direct drive technology for the injection molding machine assembly, providing clean, fast, economical, and high-precision production. The EX machine has a self-measurement balancing device, which greatly reduces the power and water consumption at the production cost.

The innovative clamping unit is the main function of the EX series machine. The three-plate clamping technology uses a unique Z-shaped toggle system. Rapid and high-precision power and power transmission systems are impressive, and have an efficient production capacity. The Z-shaped toggle-style template is a new type of clamping system that reduces the number of movements. Compared with most traditional toggle machines, it has only 8 pivot points, less than half of them, and uses less stress components, which means that service and maintenance work is greatly reduced.

The plasticizing and injection components use KraussMaffei's high torque motor direct drive system. Central plug force is transmitted directly to the screw. The use of circulating lubricant to seal the worm wheel and the pivot point guarantees high performance. Even the standard EX series injection machine can achieve a speed of 300mm per second, and in order to achieve high precision and high stability, The purpose of reducing wear is to minimize the amount of moving parts. The drive of the plasticizing and injection assembly is achieved by two double-headed direct drive actuators. The two coaxially located drives use a simple design, no gearing, and the drive is completely compressed. The direct benefit to the user is a very high injection consistency and a very stable production process.

All drives on KraussMaffei EX series machines are water-cooled. Efficient cooling means that the driver can withstand strain, such as long-term pressure, and improve the driving efficiency. The use of double efficient cooling water to cool the converter and drive motor in the EX machine greatly reduces the amount of cooling water used and increases the efficiency of heat dissipation. In the production process of clean plants with low dust diffusion and no air pollution, the cooling water of the EX machine runs in its own cycle, and the efficient cooling equipment is not affected by the air conditioning environment.

The construction of the EX machine provides a wide range of customized use and flexible production. Due to its broad machine configuration, it is possible to selectively modify different plasticizing devices and systems for different raw material processing processes. The equipment can be automatically modified according to the requirements of manufacturing. Thanks to the large size of the template, it is possible to adapt to changes in the future of mold technology. EX equipment is adaptable to the use and operation of globalization.
