Only HPM hydromechanical FREEDOM Series two platen machines have TieBars that move freely with the moving platen on every cycle. As the mold opens, the TieBars retract out of the way so you can readily remove large cumbersome parts and mount molds conveniently and quickly.
Because the clamping cylinders are mounted on the fixed platen, hydraulic connections are located close to the power-units this eliminates the moving of hoses on the movable platen that you would find on other machines, giving the molder clear access to the nozzle for maintenance and to remove purged resin at start-up. This exclusive design also provides more room behind the moving platen for the ejector cylinder.
The FREEDOM Series retractable TieBars offers several distinctive advantages and cost efficiencies:
A wider variety of molds sizes can be used in the FREEDOM Series machines, this also allows for larger molds to be mounted in a smaller machine. |
