High response hydraulics speed multi-shot moulding
Designed for all types of multi-component technology, a multi shot injection moulding machine uses a high-response hydraulic system.
Sales-wise it has been another excellent year for us in the UK and the K 2004 exhibition should give us an added boost well into 2005.' All New Mega H 750/9130 This all new machine features a compact two-platen clamp unit.
The new Mega has been created to cater for a wide range of high-end moulding applications, including injection-compression processes.
The choice of a new compact clamping unit - hydroblock type - allows the moulder to get a particularly favourable ratio between the max clearance between the platens and the overall length of the press.

Robots purpose-built to serve injection moulders
Purpose-built for plastics injection moulding machines with locking forces of 8200 -18000kN, a robot offers a high level of positional repeatability with minimal vibration.
The machine configuration can be equipped with either a hydraulic motor or electric motor to drive the screw.
The electric motor used with these injectors allows the moulder to obtain high torques best fitted for high viscosity materials, e.g PVC, PC, PMMA, but also high rotation speeds with a reduced torque (and reduced installed power) for materials such as polyolefins.
The barrel change is also made easier because of the fast releasing of the screw and the rotation of the entire injecton unit.
The operator interface on the new Mega H uses a touch screen display with high resolution graphics.
The control console features include an Ethernet connection for interfacing with data supervision systems and the remote diagnostics facility Three component moulding - Multi Sandretto is showing the latest version of the company's Multi shot machine - an innovative design that allows three positions for the placing of further injection units.
'The automotive market is important market for us,' notes O'Reilly, 'and our Sandretto Series Multi 220/860 + 185 machine - complete a Windsor PlugXPress unit will be demonstarting a three componant moulding in-mould assembled automotive component.
The additional unit can be placed either horizontaly, vertically or in the so called piggy back position, where it is inclined over the main injection unit.
The plasticizing screws are driven by radial piston, hydraulic, fixed displacement motors and the injectors can be rotated to ease maintenance tasks, equipped with a quick strip down system, allowing disconnection of all electric connections.The machine is connected to the injection units via a CAN-Bus system.
The sizes of the multi machine ranges from 130 to 485 tonnes locking force.
MACH 150/1180 A fast cycling, high performance machine aimed primarily at the packaging sector.
The latest MACH has been designed specifically to mould thin-walled mouldings and features all accumulated movements that ensures power with effeciency.
