Since medical products are sterile and clean, the production environment must be a dust-free workshop. To adapt to the requirements of dust-free workshops, various medical products must use injection molding machines that can reduce the generation of pollutants and complete the injection molding of products. After fully understanding the precision injection molding requirements and dust-free workshop standards of medical products, Topstar launched the TEⅡ injection molding machine. In this article, we will introduce the highlights and key factors.

Intelligent drive control mode of injection molding machine

Precision is one of the most critical factors in the production of medical devices. Even slight deviations in size, shape, or material composition can cause product failures, endangering patient safety. The intelligent drive control mode is adopted on the TEⅡ electric injection molding machine, which reduces the impact of communication delay on the high-speed operation of the servo motor, realizes real-time control of the servo motor, improves the accuracy of position, speed, and pressure control, and increases the response speed by 8-16 times. In this control mode, the parameters can be saved in the internal latch so that the servo drive can directly produce the motor speed curve to execute the corresponding process during each cycle reciprocating operation, making the control process more efficient.

Reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Reducing costs and improving efficiency has become the most crucial point for global companies to operate and produce, and using low-energy production equipment is the tool to implement this means. TEⅡ electric injection molding machines not only consider the complex indicators of dust-free workshops and the needs of product precision injection molding but also significantly affect energy saving and cost reduction. Big data shows that electric injection molding machines can save at least 50% of electricity compared to hydraulic injection molding machines and up to 60%. This can enable manufacturers to reduce operating costs significantly. The intelligent drive control mode can improve cost-effectiveness by automatically adjusting key parameters, ensuring that production is fast and energy-saving. At the same time, the production efficiency of TEⅡ electric injection molding machines has increased by about 10% compared to the past.

Space-saving injection molding machine design

The design of the injection molding machine plays a vital role in its efficiency, especially in the clean room environment familiar in medical device manufacturing. These environments require equipment that can operate efficiently while minimizing the risk of contamination. TEⅡ electric injection molding machines are also designed with compactness in mind, providing excellent performance while taking up less space.

They can seamlessly integrate into clean room environments with limited space. This is particularly beneficial for medical device manufacturers, who must optimize their production lines to maximize production while maintaining a clean and sterile environment. In addition, this space-saving design makes it easier to integrate with other injection molding auxiliary equipment.

Ensure the cleanliness of the mold area.

The second plate and guide pins of the TEⅡ injection molding machine adopt a non-contact design, without the need for separate lubrication, to ensure the cleanliness of the mold area to the greatest extent. In hydraulic injection molding machines, lubricants will contaminate the mold area and increase the possibility of surface defects and contamination of the final molded parts. By eliminating the need for separate lubrication, the TEⅡ injection molding machine ensures that the mold area remains clean throughout the production cycle, which is particularly important in the medical industry. Engineers specially design the second plate and guide pins to minimize physical contact between these key components and reduce friction. In addition, the non-contact design of the second plate and guide pins ensures more accurate alignment of the mold and machine components, resulting in higher cycle efficiency.

Versatility for different medical applications

Topstar designs its injection molding machines with versatility in mind, allowing users to select different screw designs based on the materials used. They can process various materials, including medical-grade plastics, elastomers, and composites, to meet the various needs of the medical industry. Whether producing respiratory products, IV connectors, or other plastic medical products, these machines can produce parts with the necessary precision and quality. In addition, they have the flexibility to handle small and large batches, making them ideal for prototype development and mass production.

More suitable for injection molding of medical products

Choosing the right injection molding machine is crucial for medical device manufacturers. The selected injection molding equipment must meet the specific needs of medical device production. Topstar can provide more professional and efficient solutions and technical support based on the exact standards required for the processing of plastic products in the medical industry.
