he EcoPower Xpress is an extremly fast toggle-injection molding machine whose main movements are driven by water-cooled servo motors. The model heigth adjustment system of the clamping unit is also driven by an electric motor. A hydraulic system with servo drive is used for the secondary movements.

The machine is equipped with a highly dynamic injection unit. The screw infeed movement for injection and retraction of the screw during plasticizing is driven by twin herringbone gear racks with symmetrical force transmission.

The clamping unit of the EcoPower Xpress is a 3-platen/4-tiebar system with a 5-point toggle lever, self-locking in the end position, with a drive system consisting of a servo motor and rack-and-pinion gears. The highly rigid moving platen travels on a moving carriage on the machine frame, supported by linear guides and rotating roller bearings, without contact to the tie-bars.

Advantages:

• Servo-electric high-performance injection molding system for thin-walled products

• Injection units in 3 sizes for injection speeds of up to 600 mm/s and injection pressures of up to  2,500 bar

• Highly dynamic injection acceleration of up to 15,000 mm/s2

• High-performance plasticizing barrier screws

• Maintenance-free 5-point toggle lever system with encapsulated central lubrication system

• Fast responding mold protection system
