Product Overview
Fast Injection Performance for Lightweight Plastic Products
Thin-wall molding requires more than high injection speed. The machine must coordinate injection, mold movement, pressure control and cooling within a short production cycle.
The AX178 combines a 277 g/s injection rate with a 1780 kN clamping system and high-response hydraulic control to support rapid molding cycles.
The 42 mm screw configuration provides a compact injection system for lightweight products where fast filling and repeatable production are important.
Designed for Different Production Requirements
Designed for Fast and Stable Thin-Wall Production
Fast Cavity Filling
The 277 g/s injection rate supports rapid filling of thin-wall cavities and lightweight plastic products.
Shorter Production Cycles
Fast injection and responsive mold movement help reduce unnecessary machine movement time during repeated cycles.
Lightweight Product Manufacturing
The AX178 is suitable for applications where lightweight product design and efficient material usage are important.
Stable High-Speed Operation
The rigid clamping structure and responsive hydraulic system help maintain stable machine movement during high-speed production.

How to Select
How to Select the Right 178T High-Speed Machine
Product Weight: Check the total product and runner weight against the available injection capacity.
Wall Thickness: Thin-wall products generally require faster filling and appropriate injection pressure.
Mold Dimensions: Confirm mold width, height, tie-bar spacing and required mold opening stroke.
Number of Cavities: Higher cavity counts increase the required material volume per cycle and may affect injection capacity and cycle requirements.
Required Cycle Time: The target cycle determines the required injection speed, mold movement speed and cooling conditions.
Production Output: Daily or annual production requirements should be considered when determining the machine size and automation level.
Send us your product weight, material, mold dimensions, cavity number and target cycle time. ARLEX engineers can recommend the appropriate high-speed machine configuration.
