Smart Molding International 1-2026

19 www.smart-molding.com CHINAPLAS 2026 this production solution lies in the combination of precise manufacturing, compact machine design and controlled part handling. Users receive with the WINTEC e-win an all-electric injection moulding solution with precise motion sequences and parallel movements, combined with robust construction and high energy efficiency. The production solution enables stable processes, high productivity and cost-efficient manufacturing with a future-proof investment in a standardised solution environment. This production solution is also supported by digital assistance systems for the automatic stabilisation of process control. iQ clamp control optimises the clamping force, iQ hold control stabilises the holding pressure and thus the cycle time, while iQ weight control plus compensates for fluctuations in material viscosity and reduces scrap. ENGEL www.engelglobal.com Haitian International: “Level Up! Your Advantage” Under the motto “Level Up! Your Advantage,” Haitian International will present solutions for the next level of intelligent manufacturing at Chinaplas 2026. The focus isonmachineperformance, digital connectivity, and synergies within the Haitian Group. Haitian will showcase developments across the entire manufacturing process—from standalone machines and connected production cells to integrated system solutions. World premiere, automo ve applica on, and electric produc on cell At the center of the trade show presentation is the official introduction of the MA2500V/1000 Ultra from Haitian Plastics Machinery. As a new Ultra version of the fifth machine generation, it expands the MA5 platform specifically toward higher precision, greater stability, improved energy efficiency, and intelligent process support. At the booth, the machine will produce cooling fans for the home appliance industry in a multi-cavity insert molding application with a cycle time of 35 seconds. This application stands for high process stability, consistent part quality, and sound process design even under demanding processing conditions. At the same time, it demonstrates the platform’s potential for more advanced Injection Molding+ applications. For the automotive sector, Haitian Plastics Machinery will present an application on a JU5500V/3450 for the production of microcellular foamed motor hoods. The process used is physical foam injection molding with micro-opening for low read-through surfaces. This application demonstrates stability and long-term reliability in the processing of large structural parts while also highlighting the close integration of process technology, automation, and data connectivity. For the drone industry, an electric production cell featuring a ZE1900VM- 210hu-V80hs from Zhafir Plastics Machinery and an MDVR75 from Niigata Plastics Machinery will be on display. The solution enables the integrated assembly of rotor blades and blade clamps and stands for high output, high repeatability, and reduced-labor to unmanned operation. In this way, Haitian International’s expertise in precision injection molding, electric drive technology, and integrated automation— up to smart, unmanned manufacturing— becomes clearly visible. Digital transparency with the X-Injec on Molding Cloud The X-Injection Molding Cloud is Haitian’s AI-powered platform connects machine-side data with cloud intelligence to improve process setup, optimization, and real-time production monitoring. Its key highlights are fast first-shot parameter recommendation, AI defect diagnosis, early warning for process deviations, and deep native integration with Haitian machine controllers for smarter, more stable, and more efficient production. The platform creates real-time transparency, supports the optimization of processes and operations, and strengthens data-based decision-making. At the same time, it provides the foundation for the continuous advancement of installed production technology. From the world premiere of the MA5/ Ultra, to industry-specific applications, the X-Injection Molding Cloud, and cross-divisional solution approaches, Haitian International at CHINAPLAS 2026 demonstrates how machine performance, data availability, and integration expertise can be translated into a continuous manufacturing strategy.
