FANUC’s 450 ton all-electric IMM comes to Europe

PRESS RELEASE | MARCH 2018

ROBOSHOT α-S450iA finally in Europe- Its debut was celebrated in Japan last year following the introduction into the U.S. market on the Milacron booth during NPE Orlando – the all-electric FANUC ROBOSHOT α-S450iA, 4500 kN clamping force precision injection moulding machine will start its European market success from last year´s presence at Fakuma (2018).

Higher cavity numbers and bigger moulds require larger platen sizes and tie bar distances which demand a larger/stronger machine with higher clamping forces. Beyond automotive, the medical / pharmaceutical device markets and other precision parts branches want more precise and fast output. “That is how the market works”, agrees Wolfgang Haak, FANUC’s Product Manager ETS Europe ROBOSHOT, “and FANUC was aware of that – deciding to develop a bigger machine based on the same performance and reliability as the other models between 150 and 3000 kN clamping force. Now we have 4500kN clamping force, a tie bar distance of 920 mm by 920 mm, a clamping stroke of 900 mm, a 1300 mm by 1300 mm platen size and a maximum die height of 1000 mm. Four different screw sizes for the two basic injection units achieve high flexibility.”

State-of-the-art CNC technology in the ROBOSHOT provides a unique electric moulding solution. The machine is equipped with efficient energy recovery control function, reliable torque plasticise control – Precise Metering Control (PMC) 2&3 – as well as backflow monitor and highly efficient AI Mould / ejector protection. The results are high-end process performance and product quality.

FANUC Nordic at Plastteknik 2019 in Malmö, Sweden, May 8-9 stand F: 17
