Nissei upgrades FNX-IV IMMs

July 2, 2025
The hybrid molders have a new standard screw, an updated interface and safety features.

FNX-IV series Available with clamping forces ranging from 89 tons to 501 tons, this Nissei series of injection molding machines features the company’s servo-hydraulic hybrid X-Pump system and Tact 5 controller.  

What’s new? Upgrades to the series, which Nagano, Japan-based Nissei first teased as a concept model at the International Plastics Fair in 2017. Since rolling out production models at NPE2024, Nissei has introduced the series in the U.S., with an updated interface and safety features, and a new standard screw. 

Benefits Internet-of-Things (IoT) connectivity, energy efficiency and clean operations. Nissei has worked with various robot and auxiliary equipment makers to ensure its IMMs can function as a network hub, connecting other devices and equipment in the plant. With the company’s Tact 5 controller, the machines collect data in real time, giving users access to remote monitoring, remote maintenance and predictive maintenance capabilities. Also, the new screw ensures reliable and stable plasticization, and improved yield rates. The machines are designed for ease of use, uniform clamping force transmission, clamping force reduction, and smooth mold open and close.
