Processes and automation
Italtech machines support a range of molding processes and integrate with automation and monitoring systems for new and existing presses.
Management section
Quick mold clamping
Magnetic and hydraulic quick mold clamping systems.
Magnetic systems
Hydraulic systems
Automated mold change
Integrated island for automated mold change. Strategic planning of mold changing sequences with mold stock monitoring.
Robot automation
Six-axis and Cartesian robots integrated with the molding machine. Eight applications:
Remote control of molding lines
Central monitoring and management of molding lines.
Simulations and analysis
Simulation data supports investment decisions and production costing.
Cooling water connection and monitoring
Quality connection and monitoring systems for mold coolant fluid. Achieves optimal molding conditions quickly.
Energy consumption monitoring
Centralised measurement and remote monitoring of energy consumption across all machines.
Management section
Multi-material and Bi-material
Multi-component molding allows two or more materials to be molded in a single cycle. Rigid engineering plastics and soft elastomers can be combined in the same part.
Multi-colour
Multi-colour technology eliminates separate molding stages, manual insert loading and secondary assembly or finishing operations.
Co-injection and sandwich molding
Parts molded with a reinforced core and a surface layer. Good aesthetic properties. High-thickness items can use regenerated material for internal layers.
Double clamping unit
Molds with multiple molding surfaces used on the same machine. Stack molding and tandem molding increase output from a single press and reduce production costs.
Gas injection
Inert gas co-injected into the plastic during molding. Hollows the part, creating strong, lightweight components. Also available with plasticising system for microcellular foam molding.
Injection and low compression
Two related processes that eliminate internal stress from the molded part.
Injection compression –
Injection and compression phases combined. No internal tensioning in the molded part. Perfect alignment of optical surfaces. For all applications where optical quality and maximum material resistance are required.
Low compression –
Lower clamping force applied during the injection and filling phase. Further reduces internal stress. Used for lenses, optical covers and precision parts requiring maximum dimensional stability.
Integrated Automation
Molding technologies and management systems integrated into machine design and compatible with existing equipment.
