Recently, LS Mtron Co., Ltd. (LS Mtron) has gained attention for expanding its lineup of 'the ONE*-E' Series, offering customers more variety in their purchasing options.
With its newly expanded lineup, 'the ONE*-E' is a high-speed/ultra-precision electric injection molding machine that achieved a dry cycle time of 1.49 seconds for the first time in Korea. Before the line up expansion, premium electric products lacked a wide range of options, which limited selection for customers.
The series expanded to include 50/80/130/400 models in addition to the already existing 110/170/220/280/350 models, and 'the ONE*-E' series has received praise for both exceptional products and diverse product lineup.

'the ONE*-E' allows high design reproducibility and precise injection for perfect surface treatments
'the ONE*-E’ Series are premium injection machines that are suitable for high-end packaging products, and have been well-received for utilizing high-precision injection molding technology to implement desired home appliance designs for customers.
Furthermore, in the rapidly changing market for home appliances, the ‘ONE*-E’ series provides high-quality value and extends beyond producing simple products. Additionally, it stands out in product specification and control technology compared to the caliber of advanced Japanese manufacturers. The ‘ONE*-E’ series, notable for high design reproducibility and comprehensive surface treatment through precise injection, is anticipated to showcase cup injections at the 27th Korean International Plastic and Rubber Show (KOPLAS 2023) in KINTEX 1 from March 14th (Tuesday) to 18th (Saturday), 2023. Especially, the fast C/T of under 3 seconds for cup products allows for efficient production, which is expected to be well-received by packaging producing customers.
Furthermore, the toggle mechanism has been optimized to increase the link speed ratio by 30% through improving high-cycle performance and precision in molding, and by reducing impact through low vibration operation by utilizing CI-Curve control.
Adding on, the series has improved acceleration performance, increased plasticity through adaptable screws with increased RPM, a clamp force monitoring function through a tie-bar sensor, automatic clamping force calibration function, and an automatic zero adjustment mode function for spring mold. These features have further improved the convenience of users.
In addition, ‘the ONE*-E’ utilizes a dual center press die structure to minimize mold deformation while boosting, which has been receiving positive feedback in the injection molding industry due to its improved mold face pressure distribution(33% improvement on the fixed plate) and extending the longevity of mold life.
An official from LS Mtron stated, "By expanding the lineup of the 'ONE*-E' series, which has already established a reputation for its excellence both domestically and internationally, we will be able to provide customers with a wider range of options when making purchases,” and that “‘The ONE*’ series boasts an expanded lineup, so please visit us in person at KOPLAS 2023.”
LS Mtron's ‘ONE*-E’ series will showcase ultra-fast packaging molding and will be on display in the KINTEX 1 exhibition center. The company plans to demonstrate the products in partnership with various companies.

Making Injection Molding Smarter With CSI4.0!
LS Mtron's 'ONE*-E' series, which will be showcased at KOPLAS 2023, is characterized by the CSI4.0 (Connected and Smart Injection) solution function that allows customers to flexibly implement smart injections in factories.
This solution can assist customers to quickly adapt to the changes brought by Fourth Industrial Revolution and Digital Transformation. It has stages such as the primary stage of data collection, data analysis stage where the collected data gathered meaning, and big data processing technology and AI stage that applies the intelligent data from this process.
LS Mtron’s CSI4.0 is categorized and operating as smart production, smart machines, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart services.
Smart Production includes features such as smart monitoring through mobile access that allows management anytime and anywhere, real-time process monitoring and control through smart production control, smart mold recognition that allows for the immediate check, and application of production information via the mold's QR code with smart peripheral facility control. This control includes all peripheral devices through the injection machine controller and smart data interface to meet customers' data needs.
Smart Weight Control and Smart Remote Service are provided to customers with the goal of a smart machine and smart service, and automatically adjust process conditions to correct the weight of the molded product. The machine uses software to detect the weight change of the molded product, providing the advantage of reducing offline service time.
Lastly, the AI injection system synthesizes artificial intelligence technology into the process optimization of the injection machine, and is the first-ever application of AI technology to injection molding technology. It is composed of AI Wight Control, which detects changes in the weight of the molded product through a weight meter linked to the injection machine, and AI Molding Assistant, which is an AI conditions derivation system that effectively reduces the time it takes to stabilize the initial process through adjusting the process conditions by learning and emulating highly skilled molding experts.
LS Mtron Creates a New Chapter in Transforming Injection Molding Machines!
LS Mtron's injection molding machine was first introduced in 1969 by the machinery division of GoldStar (currently LG Group) and has been expanding its areas of reach both domestically and internationally through consistent technological advancements and innovations in quality over the past 50 years.
Growing alongside major Korean customers during the period of rapid growth known as the Miracle on the Han River, LS Mtron's customers have now become global standards on their own. The core technology development of LS Mtron’s injection molding machine has benchmarked the needs of these customers for half a century. LS Mtron's injection molding machine has set the standard for the industry in Korea by launching a two-platen injection machine, starting with the development of the first direct-pressure injection molding machine in the country, and by developing the first electric injection molding machine in Korea.
Additionally, LS Mtron has developed special machines that suit rapidly diversifying manufacturing environments (such as IBM, IML, CPM, Two-color, etc.) such as high-specification, high-speed injection molding machines the ONE* and ONE*-E series, to continuously innovate its product offerings. In line with the digital and industrial 4.0 era, the company has been pioneering a new field of transformation in injection molding machines by developing smart injection machines and smart molding solutions.
