30 smart_molding international 1/2023 machinery LS Mtron expands its lineup for ‘the ONE*-E’ R ecently, LS Mtron Co., Ltd. (LS Mtron) has gained attention for expanding its lineup of 'the ONE*-E' Series, offering customersmore 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 s 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 50/80/130/400models inaddition 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 Japanesemanufacturers. The ‘ONE*-E’ series, notable for high design reproducibility and comprehensive surface treatment through precise injection, showcased cup injections at the 27th Korean International Plastic and Rubber Show (KOPLAS 2023). 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.” Making Injection Molding Smarter With CSI4.0 LS Mtron's 'ONE*-E' series, which was also showcased at KOPLAS 2023, is characterized by the CSI4.0 (Connected and Smart Injection) - 'the ONE*-E', the fastest injection molding machine in Korea, is now enhanced with a premium electric model and a comprehensive range of offerings - 50/80/130/400 models are introduced in addition to the existing 110/170/220/280/350 models - Customers will have a wider selection of options All pictures: LS Mtron
