In technical and industrial terms, this refers to highly flexible injection molding machines designed to support not just standard molding, but also a wide range of specialized processes without needing completely different equipment.
Here’s a full overview for you:
Injection Molding Machines for the Realization of All Process Variants
What it Means
These are multi-process-capable injection molding machines.
A single machine platform can switch or adapt to different injection molding variants depending on the product and process needs.
Highly modular — changing tools, process settings, or auxiliary systems allows easy reconfiguration.
Features These Machines Usually Have
Modular injection units (swappable barrels/screws).
Flexible clamping systems (toggle, hydraulic, electric).
Multi-material dosing (two or more injection units).
Precision control systems (high accuracy for micro parts or thin walls).
Integrated automation interfaces (for robots, conveyor belts, quality control).
Energy-efficient drives (full-electric or hybrid designs).
Smart process monitoring (Industry 4.0 ready: predictive maintenance, cloud analytics).
Why This Matters
One machine → multiple products without huge new investments.
Future-proof: easily adapt to new product designs.
Shorter lead time for switching between production runs.
Saves factory floor space compared to dedicated injection molding machines for each variant.
Sustainable: less waste and energy-efficient designs.
