Products Description
Fomtec FT-MC Modular Multi-Color & Multi-Material Vertical Injection Molding Machine
— A Multi‑Color Molding Platform That Combines Vertical and Angle Machines in One — One Machine, Multiple Uses
📌 I. Product Overview
The Fomtec FT‑MC Modular Multi‑Color & Multi‑Material Injection Molding Machine series is a multi‑color, multi‑functional injection molding machine developed by Fomtec based on actual customer needs, combining both vertical T‑type and angle K‑type machines into one platform. The core design philosophy is modularity and separability — through flexible configuration of multiple injection units, it enables free switching between single‑color and multi‑color molding on a single machine, providing a one‑machine‑multiple‑uses solution for diverse production requirements.
⚙️ II. Core Technical Advantages
🏗️ 1. Vertical Dual‑Cylinder Clamping Mechanism – Lower Worktable, Better Operability
The FT‑MC series features a vertical dual‑cylinder clamping mechanism that effectively lowers the worktable height while maintaining sufficient clamping force. The lower work surface means operators can comfortably perform mold installation, insert loading, and part removal without using steps or platforms — more comfortable, safer, and less fatiguing during long shifts.
🔧 2. Modular Injection System – Free Combination, Flexible Configuration
The FT‑MC series adopts a new dual‑rod dual‑cylinder modular injection structure design, significantly improving injection carriage movement characteristics. The system offers the following core advantages:
| Core Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Vertical Injection Unit | Standard vertical clamping + vertical injection configuration |
| Separable Horizontal Injection Units | Can be positioned at left, front, or right of the clamping unit based on mold and floor‑space requirements |
| Multi‑Shot System Expansion | Can be equipped with multiple horizontal injection units simultaneously, forming a multi‑shot injection system |
| Independent Electrical Control | Each horizontal injection unit has its own independent control system, eliminating interference between units |
⚡ 3. New Electrical Control System – One Machine, Multiple Modes, Free Switching
The FT‑MC series features a newly programmed electrical control system supporting flexible production mode switching:
Multi‑shot simultaneous operation: Multiple injection systems can work together to complete complex multi‑color or multi‑material products in one shot
Single‑shot independent use: Can also use only one injection system as a standard single‑color injection molding machine
Customer‑selectable modes: Users can freely choose the operating mode based on actual production needs
This design makes the FT‑MC series capable of molding both single‑color and multi‑color products — truly delivering one‑machine‑multiple‑uses functionality.
🎯 4. Mold Compatibility – One Mold, Multi‑Direction Gates
The FT‑MC series is suitable for molds requiring two gates in different directions. Specifically:
Compatible with multiple mold types: Works with angle‑type molds, vertical‑type molds, and horizontal‑type molds
Flexible injection direction arrangement: The separable horizontal injection unit can be flexibly positioned at left, front, or right orientations based on gate direction
This means customers do not need to design specialized molds for the FT‑MC series — existing mold resources can be fully utilized, significantly reducing mold conversion costs during equipment transition.
📊 III. Application Advantage Summary
💎 The Core Value of “One Machine, Multiple Uses”
The core value of the FT‑MC series lies in “one machine, multiple uses” — this is not just a marketing slogan, but a real functional design, as shown in the table below:
| Aspect | Capability |
|---|---|
| Product Types | Can mold both single‑color products and multi‑color products |
| Mold Types | Suitable for vertical, horizontal, angle‑type, and other mold types |
| Injection Systems | Can use multiple injection systems simultaneously or any single injection system independently |
| Equipment Investment | One machine replaces multiple specialized machines, significantly reducing capital expenditure |
🏭 Typical Applications
Tool handles: One‑shot molding of hard plastic skeleton + soft rubber grip layer
Two‑color / two‑material insert products: Two‑color or two‑material products with inserts
Multi‑color consumer goods: Dual‑color products such as mobile phone keys, keyboard keys, toys, stationery, etc.
🏢 IV. Fomtec’s Multi‑Color & Multi‑Material Technical Strength
Since producing its first two‑color three‑station rotary table vertical injection molding machine in 2005, Fomtec has mastered multiple multi‑color and multi‑material molding technologies. The multi‑color / multi‑material product line includes:
| Series | Core Features |
|---|---|
| FT‑RC Series | Multi‑station rotary table two‑color machine, suitable for two‑color / two‑material parts with inserts |
| FT‑CM Series | Central turret type, modular design, upgradable to 6 or 8 stations |
| FT‑MC Series | Modular separable horizontal injection system, one‑machine‑multiple‑uses, strong mold compatibility |
Fomtec designs and manufactures injection molding machines with clamping force ranging from 15 to 650 tons and shot capacity from 35 g to 8000 g, providing precisely matched machine configurations based on specific product requirements.
📝 V. Summary
