What is an Electric Injection Molding Machine?
Introduced in 1984 in Japan, all-electric injection molding machines are relatively new to the market but, after rapid adoption, now account for over half of all IMM machines sold in the United States.
These machines are powered by digitally controlled high-speed servo motors rather than hydraulics, allowing for a faster, repeatable, more precise, and energy-efficient operation. Electronic machine operation is highly predictable, so once a desirable injection process has been reached, it can be replicated very consistently, resulting in higher quality parts. Once a job has been programmed into an electric machine, its digital controls allow it to run virtually unattended, which lowers labor costs and boosts profits.
All electric injection moulding machines have been on the market for decades now, and there are many benefits in utilizing all electric injection molding machines. Although there are still applications for standard hydraulic and hybrid injection molding machines, many of the major injection molding machine manufacturers are primarily focused on manufacturing all electric molding machines. This is especially so as technology is constantly advancing and the previously too expensive to build larger tonnage all electric molding machines are becoming more and more common. It is clear that the future of the industry is in all electronic injection molding machines.
