An Injection molding machine is a machine for manufacturing plastic products by injection molding process, also known as an injection press. It comprises of two main parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit. All-electric injection molding machines function with digital control systems. Its main components are mechanically driven, which run with a high level of consistency. It is designed to use electromechanical actuators to remove fluid power (control valves, hydraulic pumps, and actuators) from the machine. It reduce improve control, energy consumption, and increase productivity over the conventional hydraulic technology. These benefits are widely touted by all-electric machine manufacturers based on generic mold testing & client testimonials.
The key energy benefits are included reduced energy consumption during idle operation, elimination of frictional & internal leakage losses within hydraulic lines and reduced cooling requirements. In addition, some of the non-energy key benefits are included improved consistency, improved control, cleanliness, elimination of hydraulic fluid, reduced cycle time, high speed and improved working environment.
