Flexible injection molding machines. (In Gear).


Who: Van Dorn Demag Corporation (Strongville, OH)

What: IntElect Series Models 50 and 80 injection molding machines Injection molding machine (also known as injection press) - a machine for making plastic parts. Manufacturing products by injection molding process. Consist of two main parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit.  

Why you should care: These machines offer built-in modularity so that the customer can configure each machine by choosing different injection front end units.

Pertinent Data: The clamp is a five-point toggle To alternate back and forth between two states.

toggle - To change a bit from whatever state it is in to the other state; to change from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. This comes from "toggle switches", such as standard light switches, though the word "toggle" actually refers to
 design that allows for more even distribution of pressure across the platen A long, thin cylinder in a typewriter or printer that guides the paper through it and serves as a backstop for the printing mechanism to bang into. It is typically made of a hard rubber or rubber-like material. See carriage and typewriter.  and reduced platen deflection deflection /de·flec·tion/ (de-flek´shun) deviation or movement from a straight line or given course, such as from the baseline in electrocardiography.

. A box-style moving platen provides better guidance because of more contact on the tie bars. An AC servo motor runs the clamp and eliminates tensioners resulting in less belt wear. The IntElect series also features anti-friction roller bearings that support the moving platen and to provide mold weight support and facilitate mold alignment.
