DESIGN ELEMENTS
The APSX-PIM isn't your ordinary manual desktop injection machine. Instead of
manual injection molding actions, it's built with automated clamping, injection and
eject features. Each APSX-PIM desktop injection machine employs a robust
structure with steel bars, precisely designed to provide maximum mold size with a
footprint that's not much bigger than a traditional manual desktop injection press.
Each APSX-PIM features anodized hard aluminum blocks for a strong structure
and the best scratch protection by providing superior wear resistance for a lifetime
of use. All APSX-PIM are also equipped with high precision ballscrews for
accuracy and rigidity of the machine.
The APSX-PIM features a spring powered by a precise but low–maintenance
chain and ballscrew system driven by an electric motor. This mechanism provides
infinite injection speed control, resulting in an injection system that is both
powerful and precise at a micro level. This is much more controllable and
repeatable than the underpowered injection handles on typical desktop injection
presses. Along with that, state-of-the-art touchless distance sensors and nozzle
valve control system provide the APSX-PIM injection plunger with exceptional
flow control and moldflow profile characteristics unlike any other desktop
injection machine.
APSX-PIM features a gearbox and ballscrew combo system for its clamping
mechanism. This isn't an arbitrary design, but can be a flagship for clamping
systems by other injection machines in the future. This means the APSX-PIM can
be used in combination with other gearboxes with different gear ratios to adjust
the clamping force and clamping speed, expanding tooling choices beyond the
default specifications.
Direct-drive motion for the hopper feeder mechanism is provided by a precision
electric motor coupled with a specially designed mini screw to feed the heat barrel
with plastic pellets of all kinds. This system is ideal for a repeatable and accurate
material control since the system decides how much plastic is required by
calculating how much is used in the previous cycles. These features make the
APSX-PIM a perfect choice as a desktop injection machine.
