The new 550 ton MacroPower XL 550 modular unit from Wittmann Battenfeld is a large machine meant to offer a minimal footprint, high speed and precision, and cleanness. The unit offers moving platen support via precise, smooth running linear guides, with no adjustments necessary for heavy molds. Highly sensitive mold protec- tion is ensured, and lubrication expense is minimized. Additionally, diagonally positioned high-speed trav- eling cylinders and four pressure boxes on the fixed platen provide quick, even clamping force build-up. High rigidity and stability is achieved by short tie bars and FEM-optimized platen design. At the rear, the top side of the safety guard has been lowered to the upper edge of the tie bar to facilitate parts removal by a robot. The generous opening way of the rearward safety gate is a further facilitation to insert the mold. This enable molds to be mounted from the side via the bolt-free area.
