TWIN-RAM 560 (5600 kN clamping force) uses heating platens with size of 800 x 1500 mm designed for maximum deflection of 0.05 mm at the center of the plate. For a specific project, the clamping unit was combined with two MAP.fifo injection units with injection volume of 50 ccm located from the top of the machine. Two injection units can inject in parallel or independent of each other. These high-precision injection units make it possible to inject very small shot volumes with high precision.
In this specific case, rubber seals are bonded on cylinder head gaskets, using this special machine. The gasket consists of thin rubber lips injected around cylinder bores, fixing holes etc. over the metal gasket. The entire injection volume of rubber is only 2 x 7 ccm for one part. High-precision gaskets with vary large dimensions and that do not require post molding operations like flash removal, can be produced with these machines.
