Milacron ELEKTRON 400/500/600 series fully electric injection molding machine

Product positioning and core advantages

ELEKTRON is Milacron’s fully electric injection molding machine series, covering three tonnages of 400/500/600, consolidating the brand’s all electric technology accumulation since 1985, and focusing on four core values:

Economy: 60% energy-saving and 90% water-saving compared to hydraulic presses, with no waste oil treatment costs

Dynamics: Standard full axis parallel motion, optimized elbow mechanism, better cycle time

Precision: Servo closed-loop control, with repeat positioning accuracy far exceeding that of hydraulic presses, and extremely low defect rate

Cleanliness: No hydraulic oil, no leakage, no slipping risk, supports clean room production

Key questions and answers

Question 1: What are the core advantages of ELEKTRON fully electric injection molding machines compared to traditional hydraulic presses?

answer:

Save 60% energy and 90% water, significantly reducing operating costs

No hydraulic oil, no leaks, no oil stains, no safety hazards, can be directly used in clean rooms

Standard full axis parallel motion, faster movement and shorter cycle

The precision of servo control is much higher than that of hydraulic control, with high repeatability and low defect rate

Question 2: What are the key functions of the ENDURA TOUCH control system and what value can it bring to production?

Answer: The core functions include a 15 inch touch screen, 80 sets of mold storage, 3000 alarm/parameter records, 33 parameter graphical monitoring, and 4-level permission management. Value: Fast mold change, simple operation, strong traceability, easy process stability and maintenance management, reducing operational difficulty and human errors.

Question 3: What are the differences between ELEKTRON 400/500/600 in terms of locking force, maximum injection pressure, and applicable mold weight?

answer:

Locking force: 400 tons → 505 tons → 618 tons (gradually increasing)

Maximum injection pressure: All three models can reach 33350psi (2300bar), with consistent high-pressure performance

Maximum mold weight: about 3950kg for 400 type, 5725kg for 500 type, 8300kg for 600 type, suitable for larger and heavier molds.
