Ube's UZ Series 720 - 2500tons
 
Ube UZ Large Tonnage Hydraulic Machines
 
RELIABILITY
Most UBE users enjoy less than 2% downtime, producing more parts each shift, less waste, and higher profits.

REDUCED CYCLE TIMES
Key to the UBE MAX UZ Series' productivity is our proven, compact toggle system. The UBE toggle features faster clamp opening and closing, reducing cycle times and contributing to increased production.

REPEATABILITY
UBE machines produce a higher percentage of good parts each shift, due to the exceptional repeatability offered by UBE's state-of-the-art, user-friendly, PC-based HML & high-speed Mitsubishi Q-series Controller.

REDUCED ENERGY USE
UBE UZ Series machines use less energy than any other machines. UBE machines pay for themselves through annual energy and maintenance savings when compared to straight hydraulic machines.

LOWER SYSTEM PRESSURES
UBE toggles require less pressure to operate, reducing overall operating and maintenance costs when compared to conventional hydraulic machines.

EASY TO USE, EASY TO MAINTAIN
The UBE toggle will operate indefinitely, and requires less oil than hydraulic systems. UBE machines feature a leak-free design. Relatively few wearable parts, trouble-free pumps and valves, and independent line filters for each pump add to the UBE UZ's low maintenance requirements.
 

The UBE Platen

The UBE platen's unique design offers these benefits:

  • The moving platen's long support shoes provide better support for oversize molds and prevent tipping, misalignment, flashing, or premature mold wear
  • The moving platen's long support shoes support the weight of the mold and platen to reduce strain on the tie bars
  • The thicker platen reduces deformation, for less flashing and reduced mold wear
  • The thicker platen provides better guidance when closing and better mold alignment
  • The tie bar and tie bar nut are exceedingly durable and the unique tie bar nut design evenly distributes stress on the tie bar -- UBE tie bars and nuts are designed for long life and consistent performance

The UBE UZ Clamp Unit

The UBE UZ Series features UBE's proven toggle clamp design, which offers these benefits:

  • The toggle requires only 500-2,000 psi to operate--compared to a hydraulic clamp machine's 2,500 to 3,000 psi, making it the most energy-efficient toggle in the industry.
  • UBE UZ Series machines use 20-30% less hydraulic oil than hydraulic clamp machines.
  • UBE customers report 30% less energy consumption than with hydraulic clamp machines.
  • UBE UZ Series machines do not leak oil
  • The full clamp stroke is available regardless of mold stack height.
  • Ideal deceleration and approach speed contribute to longer mold life and faster cycles
  • The cycle time for die closing, opening, and pressure build-up is up to 20% faster, increasing parts production
  • Larger toggles are lubricated automatically; smaller toggles require greasing of easily accessible points only twice a year
  • Clamp speed is easy to adjust.

The UBE UZ Injection Unit

UBE's injection unit is the result of UBE's proven design and engineering expertise. The UBE UZ injection unit offers the ultimate in reliability, repeatability, and ease of use, including:

  • Standard injection and hold-pressure closed-loop control
  • A shot-to-shot weight consistency that is among the best in the industry
  • Flexible injection control, easily adjustable injection speed, back pressure, screw RPM, and hold pressure settings
  • Automatic color change and material change
  • Smooth and accurate hold and pack pressure
  • Wear-resistant, bi-metallic standard screw and barrel; specialty screws and barrels are also available
  • Excellent melt uniformity
  • Screw tip design that improves repeatability and material sealing characteristics
  • Five barrel heater zones and two nozzle heater zones are PID controlled to provide accurate temperature control

The UBE "Navigator" Control System

UBE's "Navigator" controller offers the following benefits:

  • Utilizes Windows 2000? OS Platform
  • Multiple security access for multiple users
  • Unlimited mold memory storage
  • Printer interface: ability to print screens in real time with current active setpoints (print either color or black and white
  • High-speed, high-function sequencer, providing high-precision control and stable molding repeatability
