AX series (Energy Savers)
Injection moulding for energy savers: KraussMaffei launches
the new electric AX series at the Fakuma 2008

Munich, August 21, 2008 – With up to 75% greater energy
efficiency and a 25% smaller footprint for a fully
automated, completely enclosed production cell,
KraussMaffei’s new AX injection moulding machine series will
help to slash manufacturing costs in standard applications.
The all-electric injection moulding machines from 50 to 350
tonnes combine proven toggle mechanics with extreme operator
friendliness. KraussMaffei’s competitive pricing policy and
short set-up times for AX machines will deliver further
reductions in total cost of ownership. The AX rounds out
KraussMaffei’s product portfolio, adding a lower-priced
electric machine series for standard applications to the
company’s portfolio of highly customizable solutions. The
new series seamlessly continues the company’s reputation for
engineering excellence.
The AX features a centrally-lubricated, low-maintenance,
five-point toggle for the clamp and a moving platen on
precision roller bearing guides with friction up to 80%
lower than a sliding-support design. The high-precision
platen guides guarantee very high platen parallelism,
helping to prolong mould service life. The water-cooled
converters are regenerative-capable, harvesting braking
energy and controlling the servomotors with high efficiency.
A number of energy-saving engineering measures have made the
AX series over 50% - and in some cases up to 75% - more
energy efficient than a comparable modern hydraulic machine.
The super-slim machine can be supplied as a complete
production cell, with an integrated KraussMaffei linear
robot and safety housing, that shrinks space requirements by
around 25%. The operator-friendly KraussMaffei MC5 control
system coordinates all machine functions and the integrated
robot via a real-time Varan bus. This simplifies operation
and full fault diagnosis for all machine functions, boosting
safety and reliability for operators and machine. By fitting
uniform connectors, KraussMaffei opens up to AX customers
the whole spectrum of its premium plasticizing units,
tried-and-tested in the company’s CX and EX machines. These
screws have extended service lives, due to outstanding
resistance to abrasion and corrosion, and deliver very high
plasticizing performance and a homogenous melt. Screw
performance teamed with KraussMaffei’s electric drive
technology enables the AX to deliver precisely repeatable
shot weights.
Easy access to all machine modules and the swing-out
injection unit make for shorter set-up times. This improves
the productivity of AX machines, especially processing small
batches. With the launch of the AX machines in Q3 2008,
KraussMaffei will initially offer three clamp sizes – 80,
100 and 180 tonnes – covering a wide range of applications.
Within a short time, the company expects to be offering a
finely scaled range of machines spanning 50 to 350 tonnes.
