Maruka integrating presses with Conair, Yushin, RJG equipment

March 21, 2017

Maruka USA, which sells Toyo electric and FCS hydraulic injection molding machines, now offers its equipment integrated with Conair Group auxiliaries, Yushin robots and RJG Inc. equipment for scientific molding.

At Plastec West, Maruka showed a Toyo molding cell and an FCS molding cell equipped with partners' equipment.

"Everyone wants to talk about an automated cell nowadays," said Dale Bartholomew, Maruka USA product manager. "We have had good relationships with Conair, Yushin and RJG, and they all make great products, so it makes sense."

Bartholomew said Maruka will install all the necessary interfaces and Maruka technicians will connect the equipment when it installs a press at a processor's plant. There is no price advantage for buying the separate pieces of equipment at the same time except for the installation savings. Maruka USA is headquartered in Lee's Summit, Mo.
