MAXIMA MM

MAXIMA MM
With its hydro-mechanical clamping system the MAXIMA MM series covers mid-range clamping force requirements. Minimal clamp pressure build times guarantee short cycle times on the smallest possible floor space. The MM machines are characterized by generous mold area volumes and minimal platten deflection.

Clamping Unit

The compact hydro-mechanical clamping unit with its FEA optimized components allows for the highest degree of platen parallelism thanks to precisely adjustable guide rails and minimal platen deflection due to the central short stroke clamping piston. External traverse cylinders ensure rapid mold opening and closing. The generous dimensions of the mold area offer great flexibility and are well-suited to large parts (such as auto parts or packaging applications) or multi-cavitymolds.

Injection Unit

As with our other injection units, precision and stability have been the primary focus of our development work on high performance injection systems. Low-maintenance linear guide bearings provide excellent support and accuracy for the injection unit via eight carriers. The rigid carriage unit is height adjustable at four supporting points. Two carriage stroke cylinders and two injection cylinders with integrated screw suck-back cylinders allow for a space-saving design and minimal oil displacement. A full selection of screw diameters with a variety of optional screw geometries make it easy to customize production solutions for every need. The whole injection unit swings out for easy access and maintenance.

Optional equipment: electrical screw drive, especially effective for independent plasticizing.

Drives

Accumulator or pump? The application determines which hydraulic drive system is most appropriate. The greater the performance and dynamic range requirements of a particular task, the more sense it makes to go with a high-volume hydraulic accumulator.

The MM baseline features an energy efficient, electro-hydraulic controlled pump which adjusts its performance precisely according to the requirements of the injection function. The double-regulated pump controls oil volume and pressure according to the needs of each application.

The MM topline uses high-performance accumulator driven hydraulics with energy saving accumulator charge management via regulated pumps. This drive system provides dynamic parallel functions along all axes, and is suitable for applications which require high injection speeds.

MOSAIC Controls

The intuitive and ergonomic MOSAIC control panel was developed to provide support for all operating tasks from the simplest production routines to the most complex machine setups and optimization. A Wizard guides the operator step-by-step through the setup and programming modes. The controls use advanced networking technologies for fast and reliable communications with the machine. All processes and functions are represented graphically in the user interface, simplifying optimization. MOSAIC offers:

Intuitive controls via large 15” touch screen terminal mounted on an adjustable swing arm for stress-free operations and natural movement
