Husky Injection Molding Systems showcased its latest hot runner and controller technologies at NPE 2015 held between 23 March and 27 March at Orlando, Florida.
Husky also launched two new products at NPE. The first is the UltraHelix™ valve gate, which moulds better parts and provides a low total cost of ownership. Husky conducted extensive research to deeply understand the fundamentals of valve gate dynamics, wear and gate quality before developing the UltraHelix. Coming as close as possible to zero gate vestige performance, the UltraHelix valve gate dramatically reduces moulders’ cost of quality, continues to build on Husky’s track record of industry-leading thermal uniformity, and virtually eliminates mechanical wear on the valve stems and cavity steel.
The full range of ALTANIUM® controllers will also be on display, including new and improved interfaces and control functionality in each product line, as well as the brand new ALTANIUM Servo Control that enables servo motors to replace mould pneumatics or hydraulics. ALTANIUM is a complete solution for implementing mould servos and also includes the industry’s most accurate hot runner temperature and valve gate control in a single, easy-to-use unit. Husky will also be displaying new options for Ultra SideGate™ and its UNIFY™ pre-assembled manifold system. UNIFY makes installation into the mould an easy, one-step process that does not require pre-heating of the manifold.
