We categorize technology into two distinct areas to better define our approach:
-
Manufacturing Technology: This refers to the processes, techniques, and innovations that enhance the production and assembly of parts, ensuring high efficiency, precision, and quality in every stage of the manufacturing process.
-
Machine Technology: This focuses on the advanced features and engineering behind the vertical injection moulding machines themselves, including hardware design, automation capabilities, software integration, and safety systems that drive machine performance and reliability.
By distinguishing between manufacturing technology and machine technology, we ensure both the production process and the machines are optimized for peak performance and efficiency.

SAFETY DOORS
All our vertical injection moulding machines are equipped with robust metal safety doors that offer both protection and functionality. These doors are designed to enhance safety while allowing easy access and visibility for operators.
-
Enhanced Protection & Visibility: The doors provide full protection while featuring vertically opening windows on both sides, allowing operators to easily access the mould for adjustments or cleaning while maintaining visibility.
-
Safety Interlocks: Each window is equipped with position sensors, ensuring the machine will not operate unless the doors are securely closed. If a door is opened mid-cycle, the machine will automatically stop and trigger an alarm, guaranteeing operator safety.
-
Analog Pressure Dials: For added convenience, the doors also feature analogue pressure flow dials, offering clear visibility from the front of the machine, making it easier for operators to monitor key machine parameters during operation.

SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
Our vertical injection moulding machines are designed with advanced safety features to ensure operator protection and efficient operation.
-
Front Light Curtains: Equipped with cutting-edge light curtains, our machines provide an invisible safety barrier. These curtains detect any intrusion into the clamping area during the mould close/transfer process, immediately stopping the machine, cutting the main motor, and triggering an alarm if an object or hand is detected.
-
Comprehensive Protection: In conjunction with the metal safety doors, the front light curtains offer full protection from all four sides, minimizing the risk of accidental interruptions during machine operation.
-
Customizable Safety Settings: Our state-of-the-art controller allows you to adjust the safety light curtain settings for each step of the machine cycle, ensuring tailored protection based on your specific operational needs.
Our vertical injection moulding machines integrate these advanced safety features to enhance both operator safety and machine efficiency.

SAFETY TOWER LIGHT
All our vertical injection moulding machines feature a tower light system for clear and immediate status indication:
-
Green Light: Signals that the machine is fully operational and in production.
-
Yellow Light: Indicates that the machine is ready for production but currently idle.
-
Red Light: Alerts to a machine error, accompanied by a buzzer to draw the operator's attention.
Built in-house, our tower lights ensure superior quality and reliable performance, providing crucial status updates for seamless machine operation.

SAFETY SWITCHES
We have two sets of the cycle start buttons and emergency stop buttons, placed far enough that the operator has to push them both using different hands but are close enough that they're easy to reach and use.
Cycle start buttons need to be pressed at the same time to start a new cycle, this is done to make sure that when the cycle starts the operator has both hands outside of the machine and is safe.
The emergency buttons right next to the cycle start button work individually and can be pressed at any time to stop the cycle, while the emergency is pressed the machine will stop all operations immediately and open the clamping unit turn off the barrel heating and main motor al while sounding the alarm loudly.

ANALOG GAUGES
We have three analog gauges present on side doors of the machine, and are visible from the front for the machine.
These analog gauges provide an analog check point for machines hydraulic pressure, velocity and injection pressure, so to verify the digital values.
These are analog check points and check point redundancies built into the design of the machine to make sure there is negligible down time of the machine.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
We have multiple electrical safe checks in our machine to make sure that in case of any electrical accidents the damage can be minimized as much as possible.
All our machines have isolation transformers, voltage and phase monitoring to make sure that if there is something wrong with the main input than it will not be able to damage something important.
All the terminals have fuse built in them to prevent current abnormalities.
Other simpler things such as using heavy duty industrial components and connectors to make sure there is no interference or leakage.
AUTOMATION
Our machines are industry 4.0 ready with many automation options built into the controller no matter what model you choose.
As standard all the machines are EUROMAP ready so they can accept almost all the automation robots and work with them.
As standard, there are multiple automation features built into the controller which help you automate the startup process such as preheating, auto purge, auto mould adjust and much more.
With features such as inter-compatibility of data across all our machine ranges, machine power monitoring, remote access and remote monitoring, we are embracing the ever-improving industrial automation standards.
