Mold-Masters Hot Runners and Control Systems

Mold-Masters Summit-Series Hot Runner, A Premium Hot Runner for
Premium and Clean Room Applications

The Summit-Series is Mold-Masters’ premium hot runner line. The
Summit-Series hot runner nozzle has four times less thermal variation
from set point, compared to the typical thermal variation seen in a
nozzle with a heater band. The Summit-Series hot runner is built
completely from stainless steel, which makes it ideal for molding shear
and temperature-sensitive resins like PC, POM and PBT. The nozzle
profile positively affects balance and is especially effective for
medical market molding where precision is paramount and has seen
significant adoption in premium packaging and complex automotive
applications. The Summit-Series can also be ordered with new
servo-controlled valve-gate actuators, which allow for individual speed,
time and position control of each valve pin in the mold. The
Summit-Series is clean room-ready and is the perfect hot runner solution
for any molder looking to reduce risk and optimize molding process
parameters with minimized variance and strong, repeatable results.

Mold-Masters Fusion G2 Series Hot Runner Rev’s up Automotive Molding
Operations

Milacron’s Mold-Masters product brand has developed new enhanced
features in the Fusion G2 Series for automotive and large-part molding.
An extended nozzle length range provides more flexibility while the
compound nozzle can be used to avoid interferences with cavity cooling
lines, and position nozzles in very tight pockets. Fusion G2 is now
available with valve pin open speed control and position monitoring that
enables improved surface finishes at the gate of the part. Options for
extra-extended gate seals are now also available on the entire Fusion G2
product line. Brand new additions to the Fusion G2 product line that
will be on display will include high performance water-cooled gate
inserts plus some additional new gating methods designed specifically
for certain resins.

NEW Mold-Masters DURA+ Automotive Lens and Lighting Hot Runner – The
Clear Choice

Mold-Masters NEW DURA+ hot runner for lighting applications utilizes
features in the Master-Series and Dura product range. The developments
focus on part quality and flexibility for customers. The new smarter
angled manifold designs make installations easier and reduce the cost on
mold machining. New gating styles and new valve pins with superior flow
profile allow for perfect gate quality and the new heater path at main
manifolds offer less zones to control without jeopardizing the thermal
balancing. The new valve pin position sensors fine tune the injection
process and dual thermocouples on nozzles to avoid production fails and
the proven Fusion G2 actuators that bring repeatability on gate closing,
cooling water jackets.

Mold-Masters TempMaster Control Solutions: Accurate, Responsive and
Intuitive

The Mold-Masters TempMaster control system lineup features the
industry’s leading Adaptive Process System (APS) software and
algorithms. This APS is at the core of each and every TempMaster
controller. Today’s demanding molding applications require a hot runner
controller that you can rely on for precision control, ease of use and
day-to-day reliability. Equipment size is also an important issue when
trying to maximize shop floor utilization. With this in mind,
Mold-Masters has designed the M-Series range of controllers including
the fully integrated iM2, the powerhouse M2, and the economical MT
series. TempMaster controllers are available in 2 to 560 zone
configurations. All controllers are user-friendly, plug-and-play units

DME TruCoolTM – A Revolutionary Conformal
Cooling Solution

TruCool is the new DME line of products designed to help mold makers and
molders with their mold cooling. DME’s Conformal Cooling solutions
utilize a cutting edge, direct metal laser melting 3D printing process
to produce highly complex cavities, cores, and components with conformal
cooling channels. The process achieves shapes, paths, and channel
geometries impossible to obtain with conventional tooling. DME’s TruCool
Conformal Cooling solution places cooling channels at the optimal
distance from the mold surface, consistently following the geometric
shape of any mold insert for any customer part, allowing the mold to
maintain a targeted, consistent temperature that allows for complete
thermal control, allowing for the total injection molding cycle time to
be reduced by up to 60%. This technology also allows for conformal
venting solutions for those hard to reach areas of trapped gases, when
requested by the molder.

TIRAD High Precision Large Mold Bases

TIRAD product lines feature Large Mold Bases with plate lengths up to
1.5 X 2.3 m, increasing the capacity to handle larger, more diverse
product molds. The mold bases are manufactured on the fastest, most
powerful machines within their class, and use machining centers that
process data faster and more accurately. The premier equipment used to
make large mold bases significantly reduces manual polishing and
additional rework due to increased consistency in high quality finishes.
TIRAD offers high precision climate room production capabilities of
plates for plastics injection molds, especially for multi-cavity systems
in accuracy +/- 0.005 mm / 1000 mm. TIRAD’s high precision mold bases
are principally utilized for medical, pharmaceutical, technical, food,
