ferromatik milacron injection machines MAXIMA ML


MAXIMA ML
Clamping Force Capacities: 16000, 20000 kN
The large hydro-mechanical machines are ideal for the economic production of large format injection parts. As with the MAXIMA MM, a central short stroke cylinder ensures a symmetrical distribution of the clamping force and minimum oil volume. Three injection units in international sizes ranging from 10000 to 23000 are available.
Standard Machine Designs
MAXIMA MLThe trend towards increased use of plastics in the auto parts industry is unmistakable. The ML series, designed for the the economical production of large format plastic parts, has a lot to offer in this exciting growth sector.
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 car bumpers or car door covers. The ML series features safety mats for the mold area, a pneumatically powered safety gate, and an additional SPI ejector cross.

Injection Unit
The innovative design of the inejction unit is compact thanks to the parallel mounting of the injection cylinders and built to last with FEA optimization of all relevant parts. The whole injection unit swings out on a hydraulic mechanism for easy maintenance. A full selection of graduated screw diameters with a variety of optional screw geometries make it easy to customize production solutions for every need. Optional equipment: electrical screw drive, especially effective for independent plasticizing.

Drive
The MAXIMA ML has an energy efficient pump drive. Depending on the size of the injection unit being used, four to six constant displacement pumps – each with two regulated pumps – will be engaged.
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.
