Milatron New Roboshot SI-20A Secondary Injection Unit

Milacron Holdings Corp. (NYSE: MCRN), a leading industrial technology company serving the plastics processing industry, has announced availability of the Milacron-Fanuc Roboshot SI-20A, a vertically mounted secondary injection unit for Roboshot machines, to molders in the Americas. The new FANUC ROBOSHOT SI-20A secondary injection unit was designed and developed by FANUC in Japan.

The ROBOSHOT SI-20A is a high-precision, compact, all-electric vertically mounted secondary injection unit equipped with FANUC’s latest HMI Control and provides high molding performance, high sustainability, and ease of use. The SI-20A is compatible with ROBOSHOT Alpha and B-Series injection molding machines from 50 ton to 300 metric tons and offers the same accuracy and repeatability as the latest Alpha Series ROBOSHOT. The SI-20A has a maximum shot capacity of 0.63 oz. (18 mm), is exchangeable between different ROBOSHOT tonnages, and can be used with the previous ROBOSHOT model as well. It’s easy to install and is encased in a newly developed space-saving electrical cabinet.

The SI-20A can be operated from the operation screen of ROBOSHOT as well as its standalone operating screen. The rotary table that rotates the mold half can also be controlled at the same time by using servo auxiliary axis control. SI-20A can also be linked to ROBOSHOT-LINKi, the production and quality data management system for molding factories. It supports the globalization and automation of molding factories.
