I. Structural Design Advantages

Direct-Pressure Clamping System

Even Force Distribution: The direct-pressure design applies force through hydraulic cylinders directly, eliminating lever force loss in toggle mechanisms. Ensures uniform clamping force distribution, reduces platen deformation, and extends mold life.

High Stability: Four-column guiding structure enhances resistance to eccentric loads, suitable for large or asymmetric molds (e.g., automotive parts), guaranteeing clamping accuracy (±0.02mm).

Vertical Space-Saving Layout

Optimized Floor Space: Vertical design reduces the machine’s footprint by >30% compared to horizontal machines of the same tonnage, ideal for compact workshops.

Ergonomic Operation: Vertical mold opening/closing allows top/side access, facilitating manual insert placement and automation integration (e.g., robots/turntables).

Tie-Bar-less Design

Large Mold Space: Eliminates traditional tie-bars in some models, supporting extra-wide molds (e.g., mold width up to 1200mm+ for 650-ton machines), ideal for large applications like automotive glass encapsulation.

⛽ II. Hydraulic System Advantages

Servo-Driven Hydraulic Circuit

On-Demand Oil Supply: Servo motors adjust pump flow in real time, saving 50–70% energy vs. fixed-displacement pump systems while reducing oil temperature fluctuations and cooling demands.

Low-Noise Operation: Servo systems maintain noise levels below 75 dB, improving the working environment.

Closed-Loop Precision Control

Injection Stability: Dual closed-loop pressure/flow feedback ensures injection repeatability of ±0.1mm, guaranteeing consistency for high-precision parts (e.g., optical lenses).

Rapid Clamping Response: Direct cylinder-driven clamping (no toggle delay) increases mold opening/closing speed by 20%, shortening cycle times.

III. Performance Advantages

High Compatibility & Flexibility

Insert Molding Expertise: Gravity-assisted positioning of metal inserts (e.g., connectors) reduces misalignment defects, increasing yield by 15%.

Multi-Material Support: Optional dual injection units or turntables enable two-shot/soft-overmolding (e.g., automotive keypads).

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Simplified Mechanism: Direct-pressure design reduces wear-prone toggle components; integrated hydraulic piping lowers leakage risks, extending maintenance intervals by 30%.

Smart Integration

IoT Connectivity: Supports real-time monitoring of clamping force, injection speed, etc., compatible with Industry 4.0 production lines (e.g., via Fomtec’s i-Factory system).

Summary

The core value of Fomtec’s 650-ton direct-pressure vertical machines (e.g., FD Series) lies in:

Structure: Direct clamping + tie-bar less design → High stability + Large mold space

Hydraulics: Servo closed-loop system → 50% energy savings + ±0.1mm precision

Performance: Gravity-assisted inserts + multi-station expansion → Flexible production of automotive/electronic precision parts.
