Introducing the all-new ECSXIII all-electric injection molding machine with enhanced versatility and performance, along with a streamlined frame design, significantly faster injection speeds, and new features making your investment work harder and smarter. Extremely flexible and versatile, the new ECSXIII is ideal for virtually all molding applications, from automotive and aerospace to packaging, medical, and more.
We offer several different Shibaura injection molding machines, each designed to handle different tonnage and molding applications. See specs in the brochure below!
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.
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.
With bushing-free, grease-free tie bars, there's less chance of contaminating molded parts, increasing your shop's quality.
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.
This feature allow 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.
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.
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.
Shibaura ECSXIII machines come equipped with a Euromap 67 (50 pin) robot interface receptacle. Euromap 12 (32 pin) robot interface is also available.
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.
The OPC-UA architectures of our V70 controller allows the possibility of integration with ancillary equipment as well as potential data communication with plant ERP and MES systems.
