The company said the new series was designed to combine energy efficiency, mechanical precision, low maintenance costs, consistent performance and long-term reliability.
It incorporates a regenerative energy recovery system that stores energy generated during motor braking and feeds it back into the circuit.
The clamping system has a patented, symmetrical lever-type design to provide a linear closing motion. A kinematic chain consisting of an eccentric cam, dual rocker arms and synchronized connecting rods guarantees that both mold halves approach the parison axis at the same speed and distance. This provides platen parallelism and prevents mechanical stress or flash defects, the company said.
The system eliminates asymmetries typical in lever mechanisms and provides a smooth, vibration-free closing cycle, Automa said in a press release.
The carriage moves on linear guides powered by servo motors, which the company said provides micrometric positioning accuracy and quiet operation. A patented head and extruder retraction system allows the extrusion head and extruders to move automatically along rectilinear and orthogonal axes.
This enables fully automatic mold changes without manual disassembly and perfect repositioning after maintenance and setup.
The control system has a 15-inch touch-screen interface. It controls up to 150 temperature zones.
The control system also monitors process parameters and includes graphical display of parison wall thickness profiles up to 300 points, alarm and cycle recording, motion analysis and automatic heating start-up programming.
The multilingual control system also includes video tutorials and digital manuals for operators.
