Vertical Machines

The VPower R stands for highest precision, flexibility, efficiency and mold protection. It is not only designed for flexible adjustment to any given manufacturing task, but also allows for changes between different manufacturing processes involving only short changeover times. Furthermore the powerful control unit Unilog B8 offers numerous possibilities for process monitoring and documentation. Optional, as an alternative to the standard drive, a direct drive by means of a servo motor is offered, which allows for simultaneous plasticizing. 

This machine series has a smaller footprint than its predecessors and is easy to operate due to its low and ergonomic working height. Particularly noteworthy is the Uniforce compensation platen system, which ensures a previously unattainable even and wear reducing transmission of force between the horizontal beams and the mold clamping area.

• Easy access to the media supply connections below the rotary table
• A rotary table system without a central tie-bar allows for unhindered production.
• Shortest rotation times and highest precision of positioning of the rotary tables
• Easy conversion of the injection unit between horizontal and vertical position
• Uniforce compensation platen system for optimal force distribution
   

The VM has a vertical clamping unit. The design of the injection unit can either be horizontal or vertical. The machine is specially suitable for single molds or for insertion molding.

The VM has a hydraulic clamping unit with 4 tie bars and a low working height, which has been designed for manual insertion and removal of parts. The insertion and removal areas are secured by light barriers, which provides optimal access for manual parts removal, but also further automation concepts. The VM is especially used as a cost-efficient machine for production processes with low quantities.  

• Flexibility through injection units which can be converted into horizontal as well as vertical units. 
• Optimal access for parts removal and also ideal conditions for further automation through protection of the parts insertion and removal area by means of light curtains.
• Fast, evenly distributed clamping force build-up as well as a compact design through 4 symmetrically arranged clamping cylinders.
   

The machines of the Vertical R series are designed for flexible adjustment to any given manufacturing task, but also to allow for changes between different manufacturing processes, with only short changeover times involved. The Vertical R is equipped with a rotary table positioned at an ergonomic height. Safety of the parts insertion and removal area is ensured by means of light curtains.

As an option, the VM R series is also available in hybrid version. That means, hydraulic opening, closing and operation of core pulls and servo electric operation of injection unit and drive of the rotary plate. As an alternative, the hydraulic version can also be operated by a speed-controlled servo motor.  With the hybrid version, a significant reduction of cycle times can be achieved through very fast movements of the rotary plate and upmost precision of the produced parts. 

• Flexibility through injection units which can be converted into horizontal as well as vertical units. 
• Optimal access for parts removal and also ideal conditions for further automation through protection of the parts insertion and removal area by means of light curtains. 
• Fast, evenly distributed clamping force build-up as well as a compact design through three symmetrically arranged clamping cylinders.
• A lot of space for additional injection units and media application at the moving top clamping platen. 

The CM and CM S machines are characterized by their compact, tie bar free design for space saving production. To optimize energy efficiency, the CM series machines can be equipped with a "Drive-on-Demand" servo motor.

The CM has a tie bar-less vertical clamping unit. There are no disturbing outlines in the mold area. The vertical C frame design with two symmetrical clamping cylinders guarantees a maximum of mold space with optimal accessibility. The CM is used above all for insert molding of any kind of connectors and cables.   

• Optimal access for manual parts removal and further automation concepts through the protection of the insertion and removal areas by light barriers.
• Maximum mold space with optimal accessibility through Vertical clamping unit in C frame design with 2 symmetrical clamping cylinders.
• Ergonomic working conditions in semi-automatic operation through reduced working height of just 1,000 mm.
