MD100-S7000 This 110-ton (100 metric ton) all-electric injection molding machine is the first available next-generation unit following Niigata's MD S6000 series, featuring tonnage sizes from 55-150 tons, programmable inputs/outputs, SPI robot interface and PC remote monitoring. The company will be exhibiting both the horizontal and the vertical configurations (MDVR100S7000) of this machine.
What's new? A collective screen makes setup and navigation faster, including mold height adjustments. The press is equipped with balance pressure filling, two selections for nozzle touch force, maintenance alert functions and power consumption monitoring.
Benefits The compact, low-body all-electric offers energy savings with the standard features of the previous generation but with stronger navigation, enhanced controls and easier maintenance. Because the horizontal model has no tie-bar bushings on the lower side of the moving platens that require lubrication, the parts drop area is cleaner. The toggle system on the vertical 110-ton model offers a table height of just 3.4 feet from the ground, including leveling pads, eliminating the need for a work platform around the machine.
