CHINAPLAS | EXHIBITION PREVIEW


shot capacity ranging from 35 g to 8 kg. The two-plate heavy duty injec- tion moulding machine it is showing at Chinaplas features multi-clamping cylinders on the moving platen, which effectively reduces the overall height and operator working platform height. Its hydraulic servo system ensures fast, accurate and stable injection and yields energy savings up to 71%, says Fomtec. � www.fomtec.cn


A highlight for Haitian Group at Chinaplas is the Zhafir Jenius, a new series of hybrid machines which combine electric drive technology and a two-platen servo hydraulic system. The Jenius has been developed to address the specific quality requirements for industries such as white goods and automotive. The Zhafir subsidiary now offers electric options on machines in a clamping force range from 400 to 33,000 kN. The new power range is complemented by various performance variants, such as “F” (Fast Cycling) for short cycles or application-oriented packages for precision multi-component jobs. � www.haitian.com


At Chinaplas, KraussMaffei is presenting a locally produced all-electric injection moulding machine for the first time. The new all-electric PX Agile is being made at the new Sanming location in China, where the company has started machine manufac- turing under the auspices of its majority sharehold- er ChemChina. KraussMaffei says the site operates a special stock machine programme for delivery of standard machines, while machines with specified options will be available for delivery within four to six weeks of ordering. Also due to the local produc- tion of the PX Agile, the company says spare parts and service response times will be very short. The PX Agile 80 and PX Agile 160 machines are being launched at Chinaplas. KraussMaffei says both exhibits show the advantages of the new PX Agile series: stability, precision, short cycle times and maximum flexibility for various applications. The PX Agile 80 is shown using the inductive mould heating technology of Roctool making a TV box finisher with varied design options. The PX Agile 160 is shown moulding a medical


application, pipette tips, in a 32-cavity mould. Both PX Agile machines are equipped with the new LRX Agile from KraussMaffei. This new linear robot

series, which is also produced at the KraussMaffei plant in Sanming, is designed for simple pick-and-place applications and is suitable for all injection moulding machines. Three different programming levels are available. � www.kraussmaffei.com


Powerjet Plastic Machinery is showing its new fully electric JE200 injection moulding machine at


Chinaplas. The Powerjet JE series is aimed


at demanding markets such as home appliances, consumer electronics, food packaging, medical equipment, automotive and electronics. Driven by servo motors and with a high-preci-


sion heavy-duty screw, the machine has better performance coordination and more stability, says Powerjet. The injection repetition accuracy is controlled to 0.3% to ensure stability and consist- ency. The machine also reduces electricity and water consumption by 40%. � www.powerjet-machinery.com


Wittmann Battenfeld will demonstrate an LSR application from the automotive sector on an all-electric EcoPower 160/350 with 1,600 kN clamping force, equipped with LSR technology from Nexus, Austria. The injection unit in open design allows easy integration of the LSR feeding and blending elements. A medical clamp with a part weight of 0.003 g will be moulded from POM supplied by Ticona in a cycle time of 5s on a MicroPower 15/7.5 with a 4-cavity mould from Microsystems UK. The parts will be removed by a W8VS2 Wittmann robot, which has been specially designed for the highly dynamic and precise removal of small and micro parts. The parts will be passed on to a camera integrated in the production cell and in the machine’s control sys- tem for quality inspection. � www.wittmann-group.com
