All-electric KraussMaffei PX series premiere at CHINAPLAS 2017

KraussMaffei presents its new all-electric PX series for the first time at CHINAPLAS 2017 (Hall 15, J 41). Two selected production lines at the KraussMaffei booth demonstrate the unique combination of maximum precision and flexibility in an all-electric injection molding machine. All machines are also equipped with the advanced APC plus function, which provides extreme weight consistency of parts and maximum process reliability.

The new KraussMaffei PX series is now setting new standards for all-electric injection molding machines in China. "The new PX series features an unprecedented combination of the advantages of an all-electric injection molding machine with maximum modularity. Our customers benefit from high precision, productivity and flexibility in all production phases," states Jörg Wittgrebe, Vice President Sales at KraussMaffei in China. The selection includes enlarged platens, faster injection speeds and even the option for operation using food-grade NSF H1 lubricants. The wide selection of clamping unit and injection unit combinations is a unique feature on the global market and offers plastics processors in China maximum flexibility. "We see plenty of potential for the new PX series in the 3C industry (computer, communication and consumer electronics), the connector industry, packaging for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, automotive applications and medical technology," Mr. Wittgrebe adds.

For clean room compatible applications in medical technology, the PX features encapsulated drive units and ejectors and a closed lubricant circuit. In continuous operation, the PX features an ergonomically favorable working height of 130 cm, which remains the same for all clamping forces, ensuring perfect accessibility of the mold and nozzle for setup or during production.
