Electric Model 55
BACK

The all-new, ultra-quiet model 55E Mini-Jector eliminates the need for hydraulic or pneumatic connections by using electric servos for motion control. The full-color, graphical HMI touchscreen provides a user-friendly interface for machine setup & operation. A configurable injection profile allows up to 5 injector speed and acceleration changes.

ELECTRIC MODEL #55 FEATURES:

  • Servo technology provides precise speed & position control
    • Velocity is held within 0.02%
    • Position is held within 0.001"
    • Uses Mitsubishi J3 series servo motors
  • HMI touchscreen for setup, control, and monitoring
    • Force & temperature monitoring
    • English or Metric units selectable for data entry & display
  • Integrated chiller for feed throat and bearings
  • Uses self-clamping V-mold technology
  • Auto or manual modes
