CE-P This platform of tie-bar-free all-electric presses, part of Yizumi’s C series, offers clamping forces ranging from 165 tons to about 600 tons. According to the company, the C in the name of the series stands for color, and the series includes machines for multi-component molding. The other letters in the CE-BTP platform are: E for servo-electric, B for broad platen, T for turntable and P for the machines’ parallel injection units.
What’s new? The all-electric platform of machines, making its U.S. debut at NPE with a demonstration of the 258-ton UN230CE-BTP. At the show, it will produce a two-color, 2.8-ounce liquid-silicone-rubber (LSR) collapsible lunch box in 85-second cycles.
Benefits Energy-efficiency, molding accuracy, and repeatability of clamping force and mold opening and closing, long mold life and the production of high-quality products. The CE-P machines’ high degree of platen parallelism ensures they can meet the needs of LSR molding. Their turntable technology allows for speed, accurate positioning and user-friendly operation. Also, Yizumi’s BFC — or balanced-force clamping — technology can adjust the clamping force transmission direction so that force is applied to the mold more evenly and molding is more precise and stable.
