Maplan offers the vertical MTTF-C 30. A 300kN version is added to the 200kN machine. A further extension with 400kN and 500kN clamping force is coming soon.
The machine uses the "one-piece design" and, as with all types in the C-frame range, is particularly compact and space-saving, and therefore has an attractive footprint. Its low, ergonomically-designed operating height of 937 mm significantly improves access to the tool space from all three sides and therefore aids loading and demolding without the platforms that are normally common in manufacturing.
Wolfgang Meyer, managing director of Maplan GmbH, said: "The real show-stopper is the combination of a value-analytical, well-thought-out design that is ergonomic. In this context, ergonomic means the user-friendly approach to the concept. The fully-hydraulic clamping unit that closes from above makes it easier to insert and remove corner moulded profiles for example. This effectively avoids 'sliding' profiles out of the tool, which is reflected in the higher quality level of the finished parts that are produced. Value-analytical and well-thought-out means: A lot of technology at a fair price. The FEM rigidity-optimised C-frame, therefore, guarantees only minimum bending with high plate parallelism. Both effects are evident due to the reduced tool wear when alternating between opening and closing, and lower maintenance costs for the tools, as well as the best possible item quality."
Ideal application areas for the top-top range include corner molding, sealing elements and manufacturing small molded parts and/or small batches. The hydraulic system was subjected to a flow optimisation: The reduced flow losses that result from this ensure a high output potential and reduce energy requirements. A practical detail is the TPE injection unit that can be pivoted to the side. This enables the screw on the MTTF-C 30 to be replaced easily, which allows a fast material or color change without lifting gear.
