Husky Injection Molding Systems, Ltd announces the release of the UltraShotTM Injection System, an innovative, next generation melt delivery and control system that eliminates the deficiencies of traditional injection molding processes by making it possible to mold the perfect part at scale, without compromising in quality.
“With the UltraShotTM Injection System, we are re-engineering the injection molding process. We are breaking down the barriers of traditional injection molding processes in order to achieve higher levels of capability, control and overall part design freedom. The UltraShotTM Injection System provides better control than anything else in the industry. This approach is especially important now with massive, increased demand and speed-to-market, especially in the medical market, for example, where production risks and scalability are critical,” said John Galt, President and CEO, Husky Injection Molding Systems, Ltd.
The UltraShotTM Injection System’s injection control technology boasts of a risk-free scalability with flawless part capability. Identical system behavior for each injection circuit provides process condition consistency with cavitation scaling. A predictable process from pilot to high cavitation – scalable to 128 cavities, enables producers to maximize cavitation without negative performance on balance or shot-to-shot variation. Brand owners can accelerate from prototype to high cavitation production qualification, thus greatly increasing speed-to-market.
The UltraShotTM Injection System’s cavity filling control and process optimization overcomes traditional constraints of pressure, L/T and difficult-to-mold resins. This enables part lightweighting for resin and process time savings and provides resin selection flexibility. Ultimately, this means greater part design freedom, opening up endless possibilities for brand owners looking to take plastic part designs to the next level.
According to Husky, compared to conventional hot runners, melt in the UltraShotTM Injection System experiences fewer high-pressure injection cycles, thus preserving the original resin properties. This leads to lower mold-in stress and better mechanical and optical properties in the molded part. With this technology, you get the best physical properties for your molded part.
Powered by the Altanium® Mold Controller, the UltraShot™ boasts of a highly advanced process monitoring and control for injection molding, providing repeatability and traceability for part dimension consistency, perfect balance and a more stable process. Providing digital analysis offers customers better controlled and lower risk operations. With “Husky Inside”, Husky ensures unmatched OEE and increased productivity, at a reduced footprint, resulting in lowest total part production cost.
The UltraShotTM Injection System is best for medical, technical packaging and consumer electronic part producers looking to scale up, implement more efficient process control, address competitive marketplaces, and reduce risk, scrap, waste and cost.
