Development of Medium-size Full-electric Injection Molding Machine

Our company put the SE-S series on the market in 1998. It was primarily designed to manufacture thin-wall molded items via a rapid cycle of injection molding and was hence unfavorable for the production of thick-wall molded items mainly used for automobiles. In 2005, the newly developed SE-HD and SE-HS series were put on the market. The SE-HD series was developed for producing molded automobile parts and the SE-HS series for producing thin-wall molded products respectively. Both the series have incorporated new developments, such as a double center-press platen mechanism, a feedback control mechanism including clamping force, and a high-precision, high-output nozzle touch mechanism. These features have been well accepted by users. This report presents the basic functions and features of the SE-HD and SE-HS series.
