Product Introduction

Ningbo Yalishi(Arlex) Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of long-stroke high-rigidity molding machine in China. Please feel free to wholesale advanced long-stroke high-rigidity molding machine made in China here from our factory.

 

The Long-Stroke High-Rigidity Molding Machine integrates a reinforced clamping unit with an extended daylight clearance, developed for deep-draw components and multi-cavity tooling. This structural setup provides deflection-resistant mold support alongside extended stroke movement, allowing automatic part extraction without platen tilting or frame distortion.

 

Why Clamping Rigidity Matters

 

Mold Alignment: Structural stiffness limits platen deflection under clamping tonnage, maintaining guide pin and interlock alignment during continuous operation.


Clamping Stability: Rigid frame construction reduces parting-line movement during injection, helping to prevent flash formation on molded parts.


Force Distribution: Balanced load transfer across the platen area reduces stress concentrations on delicate core inserts and localized mold plate wear.


Mold Support: Uniform clamping load distribution minimizes mechanical fatigue across multi-cavity tool plates.


Production Consistency: Minimal platen flex helps hold tight part dimension tolerances across high-volume production runs.

 

Clamping Structure Design

 

Reinforced Cast Iron Frame: Base structures and platens are cast from high-tensile ductile iron to absorb vibration and withstand high locking forces.


Box-Type Platen Geometry: Finite Element Analysis optimized box platens direct clamping forces through the mold center to reduce center plate deflection.


Five-Point Toggle Kinematics: Hardened alloy pins and bronze bushings generate predictable toggle acceleration profiles and mechanical locking.


Tie Bar Engineering: Surface-hardened 40Cr steel tie bars with hard chrome plating bear tensile loads while maintaining equal stress distribution across all four bars.


Hydraulic Locking System: Closed-loop hydraulic control maintains stable holding pressure throughout the curing cycle.

 

Mold Installation Capability

 

Tie-Bar Clearance: Wide internal spacing between tie bars accepts large mold bases, side-core actuators, and service lines.


Maximum Mold Height: Extended distance between open platens accommodates hot-runner systems and multi-plate mold structures.


Minimum Mold Height: Broad mold-height adjustment range fits thinner single-cavity prototype tools without using extension blocks.


Platen Dimensions: Broad platen surfaces provide support for oversized mold backing plates.


Mounting Flexibility: Standardized T-slots and mounting hole configurations accommodate traditional mechanical clamps as well as rapid tool-changing systems.

 

Mold Opening Stroke & Ejection

 

Extended Opening Distance: Long travel distance provides necessary clearance for deep buckets, containers, and tall housing components.


Automation Clearance: Ample daylight permits top-entry or side-entry robots to access and retrieve deep parts without interfering with the mold face.


Multi-Point Ejector Layout: Symmetrical hydraulic ejector pin configuration applies balanced push force across large ejector plates.


Hydraulic Ejection: Dedicated hydraulic cylinders supply continuous ejector force throughout the full knock-out stroke.

 

Injection Unit

 

Dual-Cylinder Injection: Twin injection cylinders align thrust along the screw axis, preventing off-center torque on the carriage.


Nitrided Screw and Barrel: SACM645 alloy steel with deep nitriding treatment offers wear resistance against filled resins and additives.


Multi-Zone Temperature Control: Ceramic heating bands paired with PID controllers manage thermal gradients across barrel zones.


Linear Motion Guides: Low-friction linear guide blocks support carriage movement to maintain alignment and shot repeatability.

FAQ

 

Q: How does the extended stroke affect overall machine footprint?

A: The opening stroke is extended by modifying toggle geometry rather than lengthening the bed frame, keeping installation space comparable to standard models.

Q: How does the machine support heavy molds without causing platen tilt?

A: Linear guide shoes beneath the moving platen support mold weight along the machine bed, preventing tie-bar deflection or platen misalignment.

Q: What robot interface standards are supported for part removal?

A: Standardized electrical and signal connections allow integration with top-entry three-axis servo robots and automated side-entry handling equipment.

Q: Is the extended stroke machine suitable for thin-wall molding applications?

A: High platen rigidity and quick-response hydraulic valves maintain consistent injection pressure, making the clamping unit compatible with thin-wall tooling.

Q: How is clamping force accuracy verified during machine manufacturing?

A: Strain gauges attach to each individual tie bar during factory calibration to measure load distribution and confirm total tonnage output.
