Q-SERIES

Overview

High–quality production in a compact frame, featuring servo– hydraulic technology that minimizes energy usage.  

Milacron’s Q-Series is the next generation in our low-to-mid tonnage range of injection molding machines. A high-performance machine in a durable package, the double toggle design leverages a servo-hydraulic package to deliver quality parts at a rapid pace while minimizing energy use. The Q-Series provides clamp specifications with greater tie bar spacing, clamp stroke, ejector stroke, and force in a smaller machine footprint.   

The Q-Series has 9 clamp tonnages that are paired with 8 variations of injection units allowing for a wide range of operational capacity. Clamp, injection unit, screw, and barrel technologies can be configured to optimize the production of a large range of parts for automotive, caps & closures, consumer goods, customer molding, electrical/electronics, industrial components, and medical.   

The Q-Series is a globally engineered platform delivering both efficiency and consistency.

Additional Info

Powered by a new-generation servo system, the Q-Series’ servo-hydraulic package delivers exceptional toggle kinematics for fast and smooth clamp velocity profiles. The bi-directional hydraulic pump is engineered for rapid pressure control while operating at a lower maintenance cost. The closed-loop system also improves cycle precision and repeatability allowing for rotational control to a fraction of a degree.  

Leveraging the servo motors in combination with hydraulic components gives the Q-Series exceptional repeatability and energy savings.  An additional bolt-on injection unit option offers high-precision, fully electric injection moulding, reducing costs and conserving resources with servo drives to ensure maximum acceleration, accuracy, and exceptional reliability in injection processes.

Features

The Q-Series comes standard with features that increase speed, accuracy, and capacity. The clamp design provides for better tonnage linearity allowing minimum tonnage to go lower than previous toggle designs. With generous tie bar spacing and a rectangular platen design, the Q-Series accommodates a vast range of molds and allows for advanced mold versatility. The injection unit offers six-stage injection velocity profiles, five fill pressure steps, and ten pack/hold pressure steps.   

Available with the MOSAIC G3 control. The MOSAIC platform’s evolution meets today’s manufacturing performance needs alongside robust reliability. 

Developed with excellence as a baseline, the Q-Series also comes with a suite of optional features to meet your production environment requirements.
