Description
With the EC500SXIII All-Electric Injection Molding Machine, molders get an all-electric injection molding machine that delivers fast injection speeds and dry cycle times, ensures longer mold life, and provides more uniform clamping force, for greater productivity, flexibility, and versatility, job after job.
Standard Features
- V70 Controller - 19" True Split Screen with Touch/Swipe Functionality - With the new Injectvisor V70, you get a controller designed with the smart factory in mind, one that’s capable of integrating with auxiliary equipment via OPC-UA communication. Packed with new tools for speeding up mold set ups, optimizing cycle times, analyzing part defects, troubleshooting molding defects and more, giving you a faster payback on your machinery investment.
- Dual Hydraulic Core Pull Program & Electrical Interface - Our machines come equipped with dual core pull programming and interface. Portable hydraulic power units are sold separately, but can be added at any time. Our portable hydraulic units simply plug into the standard interface, for easy, "plug and play" use.
- Bushing Free, Grease Free Tie Bars - With bushing-free, grease-free tie bars, there's less chance of contaminating molded parts, increasing your shop's quality.
- Linear Guides for Rigid, Precise Machine Movements - On the moving platen, linear guides are used instead of tie bar bushing to ensure steady, precise movement. This friction free drive system is also used on the injection unit to ensure more accurate injection speed and back pressure control. This ensures shot-to-shot repeatability over the life of the machine.
- SPI Robot Interface Receptacle - Shibaura ECSXIII machines come equipped with a Euromap 67 (50 pin) robot interface receptacle. Euromap 12 (32 pin) robot interface is also available.
- Auto Tonnage Adjustment via Strain Gauge on Tie Bar - This feature utilizes a strain gauge on the tie bar to monitor actual tonnage. Tonnage can be automatically adjusted on-the-fly to ensure accurate tonnage at all times. This prevents over-tonnage as the mold heats up and expands, helping to prevent mold damage and early tool wear.
- Auxiliary Equipment Integration Available - The OPC-UA architectures of our V70 controller allow the possibility of integration with ancillary equipment as well as potential data communication with plant ERP and MES systems.
- 5-point Linkline toggle mechanism - even force distribution, extended mold life, and reduced maintenance - The ECSXIII's 5-point Linkline toggle mechanism is angled to distribute force evenly across the platen, increasing quality and minimizing defects. It has the added benefit of extending mold life and reducing machine maintenance.
- Dual Air Blow - Shibaura machines come equipped with dual air blow for help with ejecting difficult parts.
- Heater Band Failure Alarm - This feature allows you to quickly identify a failed heater band and replace it quickly. With competitor's machines, first the process suffers as a particular heat zone struggles to maintain temperature. Once someone recognizes that there is likely a failed heater band, they must then test each band within that zone to determine which one is bad.
- 6 selectable, programmable output signals
- USB Memory Ports
- Single Pneumatic Core Pull (timer only) and Single Pneumatic Valve Gate
- Advanced Load Cell for Injection - The ECSXIII uses and advanced load cell which ensures accurate control of injection pressure. In combination with the V70 controller, this load cell achieves scientific molding over the balance of the mold without the use of internal transducers.
