APSX-PIM Design Considerations:
Small Size without the Compromise -
a real injection machine without the
typical compromises of desktop injection presses. The APSX-PIM can be moved
into nearly any workbench and requires a basic 120 Volt wall outlet to operate, but
has the ability to make parts with much higher quality than a rough draft prototype
plastic part.
Affordable Precision and Repeatability -
smaller doesn't mean less capable.
The APSX-PIM uses the latest available technology for precision and repeatability.
State of the art precision sensors combined with direct-drive ballscrews and a
precision microstepping drive system offer superior performance compared to
typical desktop injection presses.
Flowrate Control -
a precise movement sensor offers the accuracy and sensitivity
needed for controlling the injection amount while adjusting the plastic flowrate
through the nozzle valve. This happens without restricting material choices. Any
plastic including but not limited to ABS, Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS),
Polyethylene (PE), Polycarbonate (PC), thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) can be
used with MFR (ASTM) > 10 g/10min or MFR (ISO) > 30 g/10min and viscosity
value less than 1500 poise.
Expandable, Modular Design -
the ability to add more horizontal length like 6
to 12 inches, different ratio gearbox selection to increase the clamp force as
needed gives the APSX-PIM much greater capabilities than any other small
injection machine.
3D Printed Molds -
the ability to print the molds on a high end 3D printer and
use our standard 3D printed insert molds gives you much more flexibility, speed
and cost reduction than any other small injection machine.
SUCCESSFULLY TESTED 3D printed mold materials:
FormLABS - High Temp Resin (semi transparent orange color)
ASIGA - FusionGRAY (solid gray color)
Low Cost of Ownership -
most small injection machines are more style than
function, with designs that are expensive and difficult to maintain without an
experienced technician. APSX-PIM is an easy-to-maintain and affordable to run
desktop injection machine in both R&D labs and small manufacturing shops.
