MTT Semi-Automatic Moulding Machines

MTT 100 KSA Semi-Automatic Injection Moulding Machine
The compact and easy to use MTT 100 KSA is ideal for prototype and small batch production from 50 to 1000 parts. Typical applications include insert mouldings and any projects where quick mould changes are required. The machine is also suitable for laboratory testing of plastics and moulds, and for institutes and training establishments. The machines power lock and dwell timer enables a pre-set ram pressure to develop a single, timed injection stroke at the push of a button. Alternatively, the manual operation option is a particularly useful feature for setting up moulds. The mould remains readily accessible to the operator and modifications are therefore quick and convenient. The 100 KSA moulds almost any thermoplastic material and uses low cost bridge tooling systems such as MTTs EP tooling resins, or materials such as aluminium. Compact high quality construction 20 tonnes locking pressure Adjustable mould sizes Easy access to mould Quick material changes and mould set-up Adjustable injection pressure Injection timer for semi-auto operation Intelligent temperature control Very low running and maintenance costs Single phase, 240v/110v power supply Internal lighting for ease of operation Air supply 8 bar at 350 L/min Specification: Locking pressure Locking clamp movement Injection unit Injection pressure Injection unit stroke Heating capacity Plasticising capacity Electrical supply Maximum tool size Machine size Machine weight 20 tonnes 5mm See options below 410 bar 195mm 1.8kW @ 220V/110V 7Kg/hr 2kW @ 220V/110V 50 or 60 cycles H. 150mm x W. 150mm x L. 250mm* H. 1280mm x W. 760mm x D. 400mm 260Kg

MTT 50/E Blow Moulding Machine

MTTs 50/E Blow Moulding machine delivers an economical solution for designers and manufacturers of bottles, containers or other hollow forms. Typical applications already include prototypes and low volume production parts for the packaging, cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical, toy and automotive industries. User friendly and with its small footprint, the machines ideal environment is within the R & D or prototyping workshop where quality prototype bottles and containers can be made available for trials in production materials including PE, PP, and HDPE. The MTT 50/E is ideally suited to batches ofup to 1000 parts. When the machine is used in conjunction with moulds made from MTTs EP Tooling Resin, development time can be reduced dramatically to as little as one week from concept to prototype. Containers of up to one litre capacity can be produced from a maximum parison or shot weight of 115gm. The machine features an electric drive on the screw, which reduces both cycle time and noise levels. Quick set up time parts can be produced within an hour User friendly control system short learning curve Single phase/pneumatic very low running costs Small footprint suitable for laboratory use Clean room compatible ideal for medical applications Specification: Platen size Platen stroke Clamp force Parison control Machine size Machine weight Power Air H 350mm x L 250mm 150mm total (max daylight 300mm) 1 tonne By pressure programme 2000mm H x 1050mm W x 700mm D 500Kg @220/110V 1 phase 2.5kw (max) Approx 8 bar (max) x 2Lt/cycle (max)

MTT EP Tooling Resin

Conventional injection moulding tools are expensive and time consuming to produce. MTT developed its EP Tooling Resin to allow the reduction of costs and cycle times, particularly for prototypes and low volume production parts. By using the EP Tooling Resin, an injection moulding tool can be produced in as little as three days. Quick and easy to process, EP Tooling Resin can be used in conjunction with existing pattern making methods and will produce a tool suitable for injection moulding between 50 and 2000 components. CNC machining and SL produce the most successful master models for use with EP Tooling Resin, as both enable the creation of accurate models where split lines can be fully incorporated as part of the original model. An EP Tooling Resin tool offers a high compressive strength and heat deflection temperature. Shrinkage is low at 0.02% and the material is easy to machine with a surface which can be polished to a near mirror finish. For mould changes and alterations, the EP Tooling Resin tool can be reworked easily without losing mould stability and strength. Typical applications include: Large and small injection moulds Blow moulds Wax injection moulds Press moulds Shoe sole injection moulds

The process

1.  Use any type of rapid prototyping model including wood, plaster, leather, silicone or resin. Fit metal inserts if required.

2.  Mix EP Tooling Resin with Hardener and degas. Fix casting frame and cooling pipes. Cast the EP Tooling Resin. Degas again.

3.  Fix upper casting frame. Cast EP Tooling Resin. Degas again.

4.  Remove the casting frame.

5. Heat cure the mould in the oven.

6. Completed injection tool.
