The all-electric range from netstal


The all-electric range
The ELION range, with clamping forces of 500 to 1750 kN, is all-electric and typical Netstal; forming a perfect synthesis of classic Netstal injection moulding machine features with new, innovative characteristics. Each axis is specifically designed for the all-electric drive system - numerous actual customer requirements influenced the construction of the machine.
The application profile of ELION is principally, but not exclusively, designed for so-called technical parts.Typical are medical, automotive, electrotechnical and telecommunication applications.
Innovative: the clamping unit
The clamping unit has numerous innovative design elements and is based on a 5-point toggle lever system. The toggle lever system is driven by a servo motor with gearing and reaches a top speed of over 1.5 m/s. The result is a fast, highly-dynamic process sequence with extremely short dry cycle times.
Optimally suited for the clean roomEven the basic ELION equipment provides a comprehensive equipment package that competently supports production in a clean room environment. Use of encapsulated water-cooled motors prevents particle dispersal or heat emission. An optimal clean room capability is ensured through closed-loop toggle lever lubrication and the use of oil-free linear guides for the moving platen.

Ejector with excellent movement speed As a box construction, the moving mould platen is designed to provide optimal flux of force and good flexure. A 3-point crank-operated ejector is integrated into the mould platen. The ejector drive impresses through its high breakaway torque and excellent movement speed.
Injection unit with flexible performance concept
A servo motor drives the patented injection axis. The drive technique used is a dual-toothed rack, integrated into a housing together with the metering drive.
