The Foremost Two-Platen Injection Moulding Machines

The emⅢ Series offers improved "Space-saving", "Energy-saving" and "Higher speed".

The two-platen clamping mechanism has become increasingly popularin the large-sized injection moulding market and has gained numerous
delivery records and reliability since our company
first introduced the emⅡ series ahead of our competitors.
The "emⅢ series" utilizes all the resources of the pioneering two-platen
clamping mechanism to improve the high-end "emⅡ series" machines ,thus meeting the needs of carbon neutrality and our valued customers.

Two-Platen clamping mechanism

A variety of screw sizes and designs are available- Small footprint- 4-axis equal clamping mechanism- For high-cycle, high-mixing and lower material costs

Carbon neutrality- Clamping block with High sealing boost cylinder allows
further energy savings.
- Shorting of Dry cycle allows further energy savings.

Lower floor allows easier access and operability- Operations and maintenance functions are significantly
improved

Multistage clamping function- Servo motors allow highly accurate and responsive control
for hydraulic clamping force- Helps to vent gas generated during the moulding process

For better parallelism control of the platens, the two ball screws for mould open/close are diagonally positioned and longer
platen supports are installed.
This clamping mechanism prevents platens from tilting and also enables longer mould life and contributes higher-quality products with the
4-axis equal clamping system.

Featuring high-powered AC servo motors developed with our unique powerelectronic technology specifically for injection moulding applications
The DD (Direct Drive) mechanism directly connects the injection drive ball screw andthe motor, making thin-wall moulding possible by low-inertia, highly responsive, andhigh acceleration/deceleration performance.
Maintenance costs are reduced by beltless mechanism, and thick-wall moulding, whichneeds longer holdng pressure times is also possible.
The benefits of the DD system are useful for a broad range of process conditions.

MuCellⓇ moulding (Meeting is necessary to install this function)

Multi-stage clamping function
Highly accurate and responsive multistage clamping control by pressure feedback with the clamping hydraulic motor is a standard function of the emⅢ.
Gas generated during moulding is a main factor to cause moulding defects such as gas burning.
Increasing clamping force in stages during injection by using the multistage clamping function is helpful for venting
trapped air from the mould cavity.

Injection

MuCell moulding, generates microcell (microscopic bubble) inside of mould products with supercritical gas (SCF);
is a moulding method to improve quality of products and shorten cycle time.
With our screw for MuCell moulding and high-speed and high-accuracy motion of 4-axis core back,it is possible to produce higher-quality products.
