Drive solutions for injection molding machines

Baumüller offers a comprehensive portfolio for servo-hydraulic, hybrid, and fully electric injection molding machines. With optional regenerative systems, intelligent software and simulation solutions, as well as efficient synchronous motor technology. The drive technology products make an important contribution to the energy-efficient and precise production of even highly complex injection molding parts.

Benefits of the electric drives and intelligent controller functions

Clamping drive

Extremely compact type of construction and excellent dynamics for compact machine designs and short cycle times
Intelligent “error response to encoder breakage” controller function protects against tool damage

Plasticizing drive

High energy efficiency, even within the partial load range
Shorter cycle times due to parallel functions
Direct drives enable a compact machine construction even with multi-layer processes

Injection drive

High accuracy due to precise control
Intelligent “PWM frequency switchover” controller function enables longer dwell times for higher product quality
Intelligent “gantry” controller function for modular electrification of the injection unit

Ejector drive

Extremely compact type of construction and excellent dynamics for compact machine designs
Prevention of oil contamination of end products in the tool space
Flexible integration in the machine room

Servo-hydraulics

Significantly lower energy consumption through control of the pump drive
Lower noise emissions
Higher process and product quality
Monitoring of the thermal pump load

Servo drives

Compact system saves control cabinet space
Ethernet-based field buses enable vertical integration in the control architecture
Flexible drive topologies up to 315 kW
Intelligent controller functions
