Exhibiting at CIM2008 China
September 2008 [News Release]


Nissei Plastic Industrial is participating in the upcoming "CHINA INJECTION MOULDING 2008" exhibition to be held in the Chinese city of Tianjin from October 14 through 16 and will exhibit its "ANX80-9A" hybrid injection molding machine developed as a strategic machine for the Asian market, which pursues cost performance. The Tianjin area is undergoing rapid industrialization as a supply base for IT products such as personal computers and cellular telephones, as well as products for the automotive industry.

Exhibition Outline
"ANX80-9A" Hybrid Injection Molding Machine
This 80-tonne clamping force machine retains the basic performance of the FNX hybrid injection molding machine that is equipped with the X Pump system, which combines the advantages of both electric and hydraulic drive, but also pursues cost performance. Through innovative hybrid control technology pioneered and cultivated by Nissei and adoption of a new type of controller, this high performance machine enables precision molding, while focusing solely on the required performance. At the show, the machine will demonstrate molding of a fuel tank joint from PA resin.

The key characteristic of Nissei's hybrid-type molding machines is the Hybrid X Pump System that adopts the innovative X Pump System. This Hybrid X Pump System combines servomotor drive technology and hydraulic drive technology as the driving source for the injection molding machine and it is totally different from standard hybrid systems. By controlling the rotation of the servomotor, the motor provides driving power only when required (it stops when not required).
As a result, up to an approximately 55% reduction in energy consumption is possible compared with Nissei hydraulic machines. Furthermore, compared with conventional hydraulic machines, energy efficiency has been greatly improved and for this reason, the rise in the temperature of the hydraulic oil is suppressed and cooling water requirements are thereby reduced. This in turn enables reductions in cooling water facility (such as cooling towers) expenses as well as maintenance costs.
In addition, this machine delivers a wide range of injection speeds from the low speed through to the high-speed region, while high holding pressure can also be maintained for extended periods. For these reasons, a wide variety of molding tasks can be accommodated, from thin-wall molding through to thick-wall molding.

The clamping mechanism adopted is the same direct clamping type that is employed in the hydraulic FN (PN) series, of which Nissei has delivered more than 10,000.
The major features are:
1. An accurate clamping force is distributed more uniformly to the mold.
2. Low (appropriate) setting of clamping force is easily possible, and this is effective in terms of saving energy, prolonging the life of the molding machine and molds, and countering defects caused by de-gassing and short shots, etc.
3. Long-term maintaining of clamping mechanism parallelism.
4. Effective for thick molds (deep item molding, hot runners, three plate).
5. Shortening of mold change time for production of multiple small lots.

Nissei's booth number is 3120.
