Control of clamp ensures that clamping pressure is released prior to expiration of cooling phase, mould faces stay together for a fraction of seconds before opening – with the consequence of shorter cycles. Looking ahead Stewart Leng reflects on perspec- tives for the future: “The benchmark for us is the central European specialists with their hybrid machines, the Netstals, as well as the Huskys. BMB injec- tion moulding machines are, despite expensive technology, are the only ones to consistently feature all-electric drives – with the same power density and performance as the market lead- ers. At the present time, as far as we are concerned, we see no weakness and no instances suggesting room for technical improvements“.
