Mars and Jupiter Updated last year for NPE, when Absolute Haitian announced fifth-generation upgrades, the servo-hydraulic Mars — designated by the company as MAIII — and servo-hydraulic two-platen Jupiter injection molding machines (IMMs) — designated by the company as JU — have been designed for energy efficiency.
What's new? New, lower-cost versions of the Mars and Jupiter IMMs, known as the SE (Special Edition) line. The MAIII/SE models have clamping forces ranging from 101 tons to 4,496 tons, and clamping forces of the JU/SE models range from 506 tons to 4,496 tons. Featuring Absolute Haitian’s fifth-generation high-drive servo motor technology, the IMMs deliver the same energy-saving performance as the standard fifth-generation Mars and Jupiter IMMs. But the high-pressure, low-energy Haitian hydraulic pump outputs are slightly lower on the SE models, and the SE models’ controls lack some features of the higher-cost fifth-generation machines.
Benefits Reliability and cost savings. The pricing for the MAIII/SE and JU/SE injection molding machines is 10 to 15 percent lower than the standard MA 5 and JU 5 models. In-stock models range in clamping forces from 101 tons to 427 tons for the MAIII/SE IMMs and from 506 tons to 1,214 tons for the JU/SE IMMs.
