Integrated Rotation Inside the Closed Mold

Z.SONIC turn is based on an advanced index plate solution with a servo-driven rotary unit. An eccentrically positioned index plate enables the rotation of components within the closed mold from the injection to the ejection position. Part removal takes place in parallel with the ongoing injection cycle and requires no additional process time.

Efficient Cooling Through Process Relocation

A key efficiency factor is the relocation of residual cooling: after injection, the parts continue cooling on the cores outside the cavity. Combined with conformal cooling, this accelerates heat removal and reduces cycle time.

Simplified Automation and Stable Processes

The concept integrates a stripping function and avoids complex relative movements. This simplifies automation integration and improves overall process stability.
