ChinaReplas Report Theme:Application of Intelligent Technology in MA5 Injection Molding Machine

Report Highlights

Haitian "Lingzhi" Ecosystem, with a focus on a digital intelligence platform, drives the MA5 injection molding machine to transition from traditional equipment to an intelligent system through hardware upgrades, core technology iterations, and multifunctional integration, reshaping the efficiency, precision, and management model of injection molding production.

In terms of hardware and interaction, the MA5 injection molding machine is equipped with a large screen control panel, creating a convenient "human-machine integration" interaction experience that breaks the cumbersome barriers of traditional operations, making equipment control more aligned with production needs. On the core technology front, HT・EXTEND control technology, AI algorithms, sensing technology, and advanced communication technology work in synergy to provide foundational support for equipment intelligence. The "Smart Open-Close Mold 2.0," upgraded with self-learning algorithms, achieves precision in mold opening positioning and stability in operations, significantly enhancing molding accuracy compared to version 1.0. The "Smart Lubrication," optimized based on industry experience and data algorithms, can intelligently adjust lubrication parameters, balancing equipment maintenance and energy consumption control. "Smart Energy Management 2.0" builds an energy-saving ecosystem through detailed energy consumption display and optimization, reducing production energy waste.

In the field of operation and maintenance diagnostics, the "Intelligent Diagnosis and Assistance" feature utilizes a graphical digital bus topology to present the health status of control devices in real-time, helping maintenance personnel quickly locate fault nodes and identify causes. The online assistance, maintenance reminders, and QR code alarm assistance system provide solutions for faults and maintenance countdown services, shifting from passive repairs to proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.

The MA5 injection molding machine demonstrates high flexibility in terms of integration capabilities. The entire series is equipped with the "Pipe Factory 2.0" intelligent management software, compatible with peripheral auxiliary equipment such as manipulators and mold temperature controllers, meeting the one-stop needs of automated production. Based on international universal interfaces like OPC-UA and EUROMAP77, it achieves interactive connectivity with multiple devices and platforms, building an open integration system that adapts to different customers' MES systems and choices of automation equipment.

The "Lingzhi Injection Molding" function optimizes the injection process for different materials, equipment, and environments through a variety of injection characteristic selections, expanding the application scenarios for precision molding. Currently, the "Lingzhi" series functions are continuously being developed and updated, highlighting Haitian's long-term strategy of driving digital and intelligent upgrades in the industry through technological iteration. This provides practical equipment solutions and ecological models for the intelligent transformation of the injection molding industry.
