Vertical injection press features enhanced ergonomics and control.

The V79, featured in the company's news magazine, is a 5,000 kN vertical injection press featuring enhanced ergonomics and user-friendly control for greater productivity.

Normally, a vertical press of this force (5,000 kN) requires special adaptations (e.g., a platform for the operator) or a dedicated installation (a pit for the press). The V79 is said to dismiss these requirements with a new closing principle. Hence, the V79 is said to be relocated to meet any production demands. The ergonomics and the accessibility of the closing and injection units are said to be unequalled.

The mold thickness adjustment is automatic. The movable traverse heating platen is at operator height (860 mm or 33.9"). The working height is fixed and does not depend on the mold height.

The same thinking was extended for the access to the top traverse and to the extruder feed, which has been brought down to a height that does not require any steps or ladder.

Dry cycle time has been reduced as a result of the improvements to the closing unit, the hydraulics and the controls. This gain in time is due to faster approach and closing movements and mold plate handling movements that are synchronized and done in masked time. In addition, the production change time is also reduced.

The G8 generation introduced highly intuitive process control associated with specific software for process control, self-teaching and diagnostics. The V79 keeps all of these features, and its interface retains the principles of the previous generation. The display presentation is similar to that of the G8, to facilitate the transition to the G9. Innovations have been introduced.
