MacroPower Wittmann Battenfeld’s stable of large molding machines has clamping forces ranging from 400 tons to 2,000 tons. The presses have four tie bars and a two-platen clamping system. The machines are designed to facilitate the installation of a mold using a crane.
What’s new? Servomotor-driven adjustable delivery pumps as standard. Previously, standard MacroPowers came with an asynchronous motor. At K 2019 in Germany, an updated MacroPower 1100, with about 1,200 tons of clamping force, molded PP into a seat bench for a sports car.
Benefits Improved energy efficiency. With their servo design, the pumps can automatically adjust for displacement volume and motor speed, making the MacroPower machines more energy-efficient. In addition, the pumps are quiet. Overall, the compact presses are designed for precision and user-friendliness.
