Turbo Machines

Toshiba Machine's ISGNT-Turbo Series injection molding machines have advanced Thin-Wall molding to a new dimension of technology. These wide platen, turbo charged machines provide extreme dimensional accuracy and outer skin consistency. They are highly rigid machines designed to withstand the ultra high fill rates and pressures required in Thin-Wall molding.

Benefits of Thin-Wall molding:

• Reduced material costs.
• Lighter weight finished products.
• Faster cycles due to shorter cooling times.
• Minimal part distortion resulting from warping and flashing.
• Reduction in sink marks.
• Alleviation of weld lines.
• Growing market demand for lighter weight parts.

Special machine design features exclusively for Thin-Wall molding:

• Increased injection speeds up to 1200mm/sec.
  
  
• Maximum injection pressure up to 47,000psi to assure even flow and complete filling of the mold cavity.
  
  
• Special screw designs to meet the high performance requirements for amorphous materials.
  
  
• Centered clamp pressure to eliminate platen bowing.
  
  
• Extremely rigid clamp construction to maintain mold stability and eliminate deflection due to turbo injection speeds.
  
  
• Smaller injection units are available to reduce residence time.
  
  
• Servo valve operation is extremely fast to control the injection rate when operating at rates 8-12 times faster than a standard machine.
  
  

Key features of Turbo Series machines:

• INJECTVISOR(TM) V10 control system is fully programmable with touch screen accessibility, high resolution active matrix, and full-color TFT liquid crystal display. It is dual language (English/Spanish) and is preprogrammed for unmanned (lights out) operation.
  
  
• Ultra fast processor provides for highly stabilized, consistent, and precise molding operations.
  
  
• Optical linear scales are used to sense the position of both the clamp and injection screw. Screw position sensing accuracy of 0.001mm (0.00004in) increases molding consistency (fewer rejects) and allows for tighter part tolerances.
  
  
• Two inch wider platens allow for wider tie bar spacing to accommodate larger molds. Longer clamp stroke and increased ejector stroke allow for the molding of larger parts on smaller tonnage machines.
  
  
• Six Sigma capability.
  
  
• Oil-less slide system provides a clean oil free work environment with less machine maintenance.
  
  
• Stainless steel hopper with material shutoff slide is non-corrosive and easy to clean.
  
  
• Diamond tread plate prevents paint chipping and keeps your machine looking new.
  
  
• MOLDLYZER(TM) part quality control system is an exclusive computer program that continuously samples the hydraulic pressure during injection and compares the actual data to a Model Curve to determine part quality.
