Takes you Closest to Perfection in Precision

Design and construction concepts used in plastics injection moulding  machines widely  differ.

Clamping unit - Direct hydraulic clamp. Hydro-mechanical clamp. (toggle clamp and other variants).

Injection unit – Twin cylinder, in line injection cylinder.

Hydraulics – Digital, Analog (proportional).

The proponents of each concept spoke out its favour with missionary fervour to win followers. Concepts did not stay as concepts, they became “faith”.

In the early days of development, each design approach had its own advantages. With the advancement in hydraulic and microprocessor technologies – the margin of difference in advantages reduced, boundaries vanished. Proponents mellowed down.

Manufacturers of machinery left it to the customer to choose. Customer became the ultimate arbiter.

However, all through these developments, there was one concept uniformly accepted by all ad not contradicted by any: the fact that – moulding a quality component within a narrow band of deviation i.e. to a consistent high precision requires closed loop control of injection function.

The dynamism of the market comes from the change, and, the people who embrace that change will be very successful.

Globalization has made the world a single marketplace, and, intensified the competition. Performance pressure- economic as well as social -have compelled all of us to accept this change and make best out of the opportunities offered. In this changing scenario  matter of immediate relevance to us is the fast spreading trend in the industry - “global sourcing”, and, “produce where the market is”.

It is now in vogue amongst OEMs to move the mould to different global manufacturing locations and produce parts  for the local market needs, while guarding the product quality fit to the brand image.

Here the advancement in technologies comes to our help. The success of moulding process depends on the controllability and repeatability of injection process to avoid drift of parameters. Machines “clones” make it possible to produce identical quality components with least experimentation. Function closed loop control clones the Injection  Moulding Machines and help to produce consistent quality mouldings every time, at every location.
