Milacron will have an assorted display of innovative products and solutions at K 2019 from our industry-leading brands. Milacron will focus on automotive, medical, packaging, and technical applications.
Here’s a sample of what visitors can expect:
Q-Series
Milacron’s new Elektron from Milacron provides clean, precise, efficient production in a full range of applications. It uses 60% less energy and 90% less water than hydraulic injection molding machines, reducing operating costs substantially. The engineered parallel movements paired with the servo-driven axes make the Elektron ideal for the reliable production of high-precision parts with fast repeatable movements.
This series features a completely new, FEA-optimized clamp design with a greaseless part drop area and absolutely no hydraulic oil, making it ideal for cleanroom operations. A robust 5-point toggle system optimizes operation utilizing large mold opening strokes in a compact design. The Elektron is designed for a full range of applications, in a wide variety of sizes, and offers outstanding value to customers to help them achieve their plastics manufacturing goals.

The new The Cincinnati is no exception. Proudly taking its name from Milacron’s home city of Cincinnati, The Cincinnati machine pays homage to all the Milacron employees past and present that have built Milacron into what it is today – the leader in plastics solutions, leading the way to what’s next in plastics.
The Cincinnati is a NEW large tonnage, true two-platen machine designed to meet the demands of the global automotive, appliance, and other large part molding markets. The Cincinnati product line expands on our industry-leading large machine technology with a platform that adds performance and a shorter footprint. The Cincinnati’s enhanced machine specifications and performance are powered by proven Fanuc servo motor power packs for improved reliability, higher max mold weights, faster clamp speeds, and added tonnage sizes. The improved machine layout and enhanced access to the eject and die areas make operation, maintenance, and servicing easier.

Milacron SeVG+, our most advanced actuation control system, is now available for ALL applications. SeVG+ is a servo-driven system that provides absolute control and precision over individual valve pin opening and closing actuation profiles. Fully adjust pin position, acceleration, velocity, stroke, timing, and sequence. Critical capabilities for demanding applications that greatly enhance molded part quality including large automotive parts that require Class “A” surface finish.
Each SeVG+ system includes an SeVG+ controller, which features a large, easy-to-use touch screen display, on-the-fly adjustments, compact cabinet dimensions, and available TempMaster hot runner temperature control integration.
SeVG+ valve gate control is available on Mold-Masters:
DME introduces enhancement to its XPress™ mold base range, by adding 25 additional steel grades, all European certified through its "Any Shape, Any Steel" program. Through this enhancement, customers benefit from the widest Industry Market offerings and flexibility for their Mold bases within a 24/48/72-hour shipment service throughout Europe, combined with the essential mold components. Furthermore, in the frame of the program, DME has expanded the range of its mold components to offer new varieties of standard leader pins, bushings, graphite guiding pins, insulating plates, and centering rings. On top, DME announces it has been registered with major designer software programs such as Topsolid, Siemens NX, and DS Catia to facilitate mold design for its customers. 3D & CAD data is available 24/7 as well through our eSTORE and possible to download in multiple formats.
DME CoolingCare - Reduced cycle time/Improved mold productivity
DME CoolingCare is the new automatic device for cleaning, diagnostics, and maintenance of mold cooling channels. Cooling is a key factor impacting cycle time improvement for the majority of the molder community, mold designers, and mold makers. With DME all-in-one CoolingCare maintenance solutions, customers can benefit from easy manipulation, non-supervised run, water-temperature controllers, and heat exchangers. It provides the first ever Industry 4.0 capability with built-in modem for online diagnostics and service, a dedicated application for mobile devices allowing for the online monitoring of the cleaning process, report database, and automatic adjustment system. DME offers expert advice and innovative technology of CoolingCare with various financing solutions.
