Platens keep high parallelism



Conventional Platens
Heat flow model


Temperatures differ above and below the platen
because heat propagated to the frame.
Deformation accentuating model


Deformation is uneven across the platen, so the platen does not stay flat.
Thermal Free Platens
Heat flow model


Heat propagates symmetrically upwards/downwards.
Temperature is the same above and below the
platen.
Deformation accentuating model


Upward/Downward deformation is even across the platen, so the platen stays flat.
Specialized for connector molding
for connectors
The result is a yield improvement to reduce material costs.

A stable molding process is enabled even if the regrind ratio is increased by 10%. So the use of virgin material can be reduced.
Helps to reduce costs and improve productivity
Additionally, with its long reach, it reduces the amount of sprue plastic material and shortens the mold opening stroke, which leads to a faster cycle.
Moreover, the nozzle can be detached quickly and easily, which facilitates cleaning and shortens machine down time.

【Comparison of applicable molding conditions (LCP)】

The FTCIII nozzle provides a wider process window without causing stringing or clogging.
This eases the difficulty of setting molding conditions.
