New Injection Unit Sizes available on several models!

Several Roboshot S2000i-B Series machines have been enhanced with new larger injection unit options.

The Roboshot S2000i-B Series, manufactured for Milacron by Fanuc Ltd. of Japan, is the recognized market leader for all electric machines in the under 400 ton category in the America’s market.

New Injection Unit sizes available are:

• The Roboshot S2000i-B 55 ton machine is now available with a 2.54 oz. injection unit.
• The Roboshot S2000i-B 275 ton is now available with a 21.31 oz. injection unit.
• The Roboshot S2000i-B 330 ton is now available with a 35.20 oz. injection unit.

“There are over 27 variations for injection units across the product line offering a very broad and capable processing window for plastics molders. The new sizes continue our commitment to serve our customer requirements in every possible way,” states Kent Royer, Product Sales Manager for the Roboshot product line.

The Roboshot Series has a strong market position in the medical, electrical and other high precision markets and has the reputation as a “plug and play” all electric machine.

“The Roboshot S2000i-B Series provides great overall performance, reliability and advanced processing capability, resulting in the best value in an all electric molding machine for all industry segments,” states George Yarnell. Milacron introduced the first all electric machine with the first ACT Series machine displayed in the USA in 1984.

The injection unit enhancements were the result of customer requests from custom molders for specific sizes. Custom molders have embraced the Roboshot technology as a competitive edge machine due to operating precision. The enhancements also met the changing requirements among high precision medical molders and electronic connector molders in the America’s. According to Bob Strickley, Director of Marketing at Milacron, the Roboshot Series has emerged as not only a machine for the precision molder in the America’s but a real value for the custom molders.

“The issue is total operating cost and the Roboshot has a long proven track record of being very cost effective. We have many success stories associated with this machine technology having a significant impact on reducing total operating costs for our customers. The total costs include overall maintenance costs, service parts costs, total energy consumption, overall operating precision which leads to reduced scrap, and for some,  a significant reduction in mold wear. These advantages coupled with the new technology from SERVTEK on injection end technology has resulted in a very strong competitive advantage for many molders,” states Strickley.

All Roboshot S2000i-B Series machines are available with Milacron’s SERVTEK injection end products including the BARR VBET screw technology, MELTSTAR, WEARSTAR, KLEARSTAR and PVCSTAR products.  In addition the wear-resistant StarGuard encapsulation process is available on all injection end products.
