Pneumatic Cylinders Install Without Removing the Hot Runner
HRSflow announces its extended portfolio of compact and small cylinders which require limited installation space.
HRSflow announces its extended portfolio of compact and small cylinders which require limited installation space. The series of pneumatic cylinders can be installed without removing the hot runner from the mold plate. Designed for excellent thermal insulation minimizing heat transfer from the manifold, they do not require cooling for a wide range of polymers. The modular design concept and a reduced number of parts offer easy maintenance.
Additionally, the company introduces compact hydraulic cylinders, requiring only small cut-outs in the tool. With improved design, they minimize heat transfer from the manifold, reducing heating energy consumption. The hydraulic cylinders enable quick tooling change and lower energy consumptions. Further variants offer a microswitch for end position detection as well as an adjustable version to compensate the position of the needle by ±1 mm without mechanical reworking.
