Vertical Injection Molding Machine Range Extended
LS Mtron’s expanded range of LSG-V vertical machines has 13 models with a variety of injection and rotary table formats.
LS Mtron Injection Molding Machines USA (Duluth, Ga.) has added several new models to its line of LSG-V hybrid vertical injection molding machines, with 13 models of machines ranging in clamp force from 35 to 660 tons and including options for vertical or horizontal injection, and rotary table, shuttle or single-station designs.
The LSG-V, which is known outside North America as the WIZ-VR II, was previously available in three models, from 100 to 350 tons and only as vertical rotary machines.
The LSG-V Series can reduce overall cycle time by enabling operators to simultaneously perform product take-out and insertion processes during injection. The machines also feature a servo pump system for reduced power consumption, which uses an AC servo motor for reproducibility within 0.1% through feedback control. The rotation motor also enables low noise and precise control, and LS Mtron says that by optimizing hydraulic oil tanks and lines, the machines operating flow and cooling water consumption.
Constructed with a four-post tie-bar structure, the LSG-V can support up to four injection fixtures, and the slide-type guide bar design minimizes transfer resistance.
At NPE 2024, LS Mtron will feature a 170-ton LSG-V molding an electric vehicle component for sister company LS Automotive.
