ferromatik milacron injection machines MAXIMA MM


MAXIMA MM
Clamping Force Capacities: 5000, 6500, 8000, 10000, 13000 kN

Standard Machine Designs Multi-Component Designs High-Performance Designs
The compact hydro-mechanical 2-platen design allows for a small footprint without sacrificing the generous mold area. Reliable and precise operation means minimum wear on the mold, which, along with the modular drive options, makes this machine an economical choice. Six injection units in international sizes ranging from 3470 to 23000 are available.
MAXIMA MMWith its hydro-mechanical clamping system the MAXIMA MM series covers mid-range clamping force requirements. Minimal clamp pressure build times guarantee short cycle times on the smallest possible floor space. The MM machines are characterized by generous mold area volumes and minimal platten deflection.
Clamping Unit
The compact hydro-mechanical clamping unit with its FEA optimized components allows for the highest degree of platen parallelism thanks to precisely adjustable guide rails and minimal platen deflection due to the central short stroke clamping piston. External traverse cylinders ensure rapid mold opening and closing. The generous dimensions of the mold area offer great flexibility and are well-suited to large parts (such as auto parts or packaging applications) or multi-cavitymolds.
Injection Unit
As with our other injection units, precision and stability have been the primary focus of our development work on high performance injection systems. Low-maintenance linear guide bearings provide excellent support and accuracy for the injection unit via eight carriers. The rigid carriage unit is height adjustable at four supporting points. Two carriage stroke cylinders and two injection cylinders with integrated screw suck-back cylinders allow for a space-saving design and minimal oil displacement. A full selection of screw diameters with a variety of optional screw geometries make it easy to customize production solutions for every need. The whole injection unit swings out for easy access and maintenance.
Optional equipment: electrical screw drive, especially effective for independent plasticizing.
Drives
Accumulator or pump? The application determines which hydraulic drive system is most appropriate. The greater the performance and dynamic range requirements of a particular task, the more sense it makes to go with a high-volume hydraulic accumulator.

The MM baseline features an energy efficient, electro-hydraulic controlled pump which adjusts its performance precisely according to the requirements of the injection function. The double-regulated pump controls oil volume and pressure according to the needs of each application.

The MM topline uses high-performance accumulator driven hydraulics with energy saving accumulator charge management via regulated pumps. This drive system provides dynamic parallel functions along all axes, and is suitable for applications which require high injection speeds.
Controls
The Windows-based IQT control system is user-friendly and offers an excellent overview of the system. User-defined pages allow the operator to search setpoint values in any order and place them on three separate screen pages. Saving background data sets shortens setup times. Mold changes are easily activated by the relevant background data set. Thus production is quickly and simply changed over to new parts.
The IQT control system is also optionally available as IQT.net. This system adds an interface for OPC (OLE for Process Control) and provides a means for Internet access. IQT.net opens up a whole new world of possibilities including online diagnostics, analysis of process and production data, and process visualization with standard software applications.
