Hybrid presses with direct drive

On the occasion of PLAST 2012 (Milan, 8-12 May), a new range of injection moulding machines with all-electric clamping and screw drive is introduced by Maicopresse, based in Borgostallo (Brescia, Italy), which displays their M-L 1300 Hybrid model. All movements are obtained by motors which drive screws lubricated in an oil bath. This direct, beltless drive eliminates all inertia. Slide, injection unit, radials, and central ejector are hydraulically driven via inverters.
