MAGNA V Vertical Injection Molding Milacron

MAGNA V Series vertical clamp machines bring you every advantage for insert molding from encapsulation of delicate electronic parts to over molding of plastic on metal for diverse automotive applications.

MAGNA V machines can be configured for every possible insert molding application by combining a wide range of clamp, table and injection unit configurations. Vertical clamps with horizontal tables let gravity gently and easily do the work of holding single or multiple inserts. Open clamp designs with rotary and shuttle tables give the advantage of working with multiple molds and simultaneous operations including pre molding, injection and post molding operation. Simultaneous operations are easily automated for consistent quality, high productivity and high profitability. Click here for a listing of MAGNA V models and specifications.

Vertical Clamp Design is Open for Easy Production or Automation

MAGNA V Series vertical clamp injection molding machines

Clamp Design: The clamp design is a robust vertical C-frame that is open in the front and on the sides.

Benefits:

No tie bars to interfere with inserts that extend beyond platens.
Can use large rotary and shuttle tables for increased mold capacity with less floor space.
Easy access for mold changing and plumbing.
Easy access to molds for automation.
Adjustable tonnage for a wide range of applications.

Table Designs Cover All the Possibilities

MAGNA V Series vertical clamp injection molding machines

Table design choices give features and benefits to capture every application and production possibility:
Shuttle Table: (side-to-side; in-out)

Simultaneously load/unload parts during molding using two mold bottoms.
Ability to run long inserts applications that are too long for rotary tables.
Flexibility to run a single mold.

Rotary Table:

Multi-station flexibility for multiple operations to maximize productivity. Standard configurations available for 2 or 4 stations (mold bottoms) and custom for 3, 6 and other required numbers of stations.
All-around light curtain allows for multiple operations around the table without cumbersome guarding.
Easy to automate several stations.
Easy access for mold setup and operation.

Stationary Table:

Best for dedicated applications.
Flexible to run a wide range of parts from simple to complex and for low volume applications or where multiple molds are not required.

The Insert Molding Solution. . . Why Insert Mold

MAGNA V Series vertical clamp injection molding machines

Insert molding is the process in which one or more plastic materials are injection molded around one or more inserts. The inserts may consist of a variety of materials including metal stampings, wire, mesh screens, or even another plastic part.
Why insert mold?

Easily combine two materials.
Encapsulate delicate parts.
Reduce assembly costs.
Reduce post-molding operations.
Impart damping and insulating properties.
For molding aesthetics, design features, feel.
