FNX This hybrid injection molding machine series from Nissei can be used for manufacturing both thin- and thick-walled products. It uses Nissei's X-Pump technology, which provides for quick injection response and stable control. With it, the servo motors of machines in the series rotate only at the minimum required speed, conserving energy.
What's new? The inauguration of the fourth generation of the series, with the display of a 237-ton prototype, the FNX220IV-50A. The rest of the new series still is in develpment. The prototype will feature a straight hydraulic clamping system, and wide daylight and tie-bar spacing
. Employing Tact 5, the newest version of the Nissei controller, machines in the series will be able to be connected to auxiliary equipment to take advantage of the Internet of Things.
Benefits The ability to handle thicker molds, and Industry 4.0 capabilities, including advanced diagnostics and quality control. With the increase in daylight — anticipated to be an additional 100mm — and tie-bar spacing, the new line will comfortably accommodate hot-runner systems and molds for long parts. For quicker clamping speeds, the series will use linear motion guides. It will be less susceptible to outside disturbances, which can cause molding defects, such as flash, or damage to the mold and clamping unit.
