providing a wide range of flexibility with each clamp tonnage. The machines are part of Milacron’s Quick delivery line-up, allowing the machines to be built and delivered to a customer quickly. Milacron says: “The Q-Series design is inspired by

show presents an opportunity to make the new direction clear. While the GX 1100 in the demon- stration reported above shows the group’s capabil- ity with large items in the packaging sector, in an adjacent demonstration a Netstal Elios 4500 machine is producing six round dishes with IML decoration (each weighing 250 g) in less than 3.5s. In medical technology, the group says the focal
points of the fast-running Netstal Elion 800 machine are likewise output quantity and highest precision. This machine is producing 16 syringes in COC under cleanroom conditions. On the other hand, the smallest all-electric KraussMaffei PX 25 machine with a clamping force of 250 kN, demon- strates challenging medical micro-moulding, making an LSR micro membrane with a shot weight of only 0.3 g in an 8-cavity mould in 14s cycle time. �

Maguire has rebranded its vacuum resin dryer range (previously called VBD) as Ultra Low Energy and is showing the technology on its stand at K2019. The company says that in a typical material drying example for a process running at 220 lb (100 kg) per hour, for 6,000 operation hours per year, an average desiccant dryer might run at 60 W per lb of material, versus the Ultra Low Energy Dryer that would run at 19 W per lb. As well as financial savings, the technology also benefits the environment. In the example cited above, Maguire estimates that a saving of 54,120 kW per year is realised. The Ultra Low Energy Dryers are available for throughputs of 150, 300, 600, and 1,000 lb/hr (68, 136, 272, and 454 kg/hr). (Read more about Maguire in the Materials Handling feature.) �

Milacron says its new Q-Series product line, which it is showing at K2019, places the latest servo-hy- draulic technology in a toggle injection moulding envelope. The Q-Series machines range in size from 500 to 5,500 kN within multiple injection frames,

the durable MTs series and the proficiency that was provided by the F-Series. When combined, the glob- ally offered Q-series will provide critical power when it is needed and use less power when it is not.” The group is also showing technology from its other machine ranges. The Elektron all-electric series uses 60% less energy and 90% less water than hydraulic injection moulding machines. This series features a new FEA-optimised clamp design with a greaseless part drop area and no hydraulic oil, making it ideal for cleanroom operations. A robust 5-point toggle system optimises operation utilising large mould opening strokes in a compact design. The new Maxima Performance Series enhances
Milacron’s Maxima platform to deliver faster cycle times, wider platens, a precision greaseless clamp guided on linear bearings, and integrated auxiliary capability. In addition, Milacron says the Maxima Servo is one of its most energy-efficient machines, providing up to 70% energy savings over similar machines. The new Cincinnati is a large tonnage, two-plat- en machine designed to meet the needs of the automotive, appliance and other large part moulding markets. The Cincinnati’s enhanced machine specifications and performance are powered by Fanuc servo motor power packs for improved reliability, higher max mould weights, faster clamp speeds, and added tonnage sizes. The Milacron stand will also display products
from the group’s Mold-Masters, DME, Tirad and Cimcool businesses. Hot runners specialist Mold- Masters will show the new TempMaster M3 controller platform which incorporates an innova- tive connection system and an algorithm-based control technology. DME is launching a major expansion in its mould components range, adding 15 new product ranges and enlarging the standard offering in another 11 ranges. DME guiding systems now include new ball guiding units with and without collar, guide bushes for pusher guides, self-lubricating ball guide bushes for ejector set with graphite inserts for permanent lubrication, recirculating ball bushing for ejector set with unlimited stroke length as well as threaded bolts and inserts for ejector set and many more. New additions to the self-lubricating guiding systems support your applications with high resistance to wear and very good emergency operating features. �
