Main Features of EC-SXII Series
Wide array of available injection (plasticized) devices for
use in specific applications
A wide variety of injection devices are
available with high-load, high-injection pressure, and high-speed
injection specifications for automobile parts, optical parts, the
medical and food container sectors, and more. Customers can select
the optimum injection device for their specific application.
High-added value controller with improved control performance
and scalability
The cutting-edge INJECTVISOR V50/S51
Control System includes a new core-back (foam molding) control
circuit (option) for enabling more lightweight designs for molded
products and also supports various plug-ins such as sub-injection
units for double injection molding machines for providing wider
functionality and greater ease of operation.Preventive maintenance,
remote maintenance, and other IoT technologies are utilized to
contribute to higher productivity in molding plants targeting zero
downtime.
Special package specifications for optical parts
available
A special plasticizing system was developed
for reducing foreign matter and yellowing defects in thick optical
parts. This system features a high-rigidity die clamping unit and
multistage compression control (PRESTROL) for enabling the shape
accuracy, high microscopic transfer, and mitigation and
homogenization of internal stress that are required for molding of
thick lenses.
"Combined with our industrial robots, which will be produced in
our China factory, this is a system solution for meeting the needs
of our customers,” said Masafumi Ito of the Regional Operating
Headquarters (East Asia). “The EC-SXII series features a wide of
array of packages for optical parts such as automobile LED
headlight lenses, in-car lighting and displays, and more, for
contributing to higher productivity and more stable precision
molding."
