Excellent dual platen technology
The powerful GuideX and GearX team ensures
fast locking and excellent part quality
The GuideX guide shoe absorbs forces and protects the guides.
The linear guide therefore permanently maintains its lightness and precision.
The new GearX locking device is quick and reliable.
GuideX guide shoe – the intelligent
machine element for absolute platen
parallelism with high force absorption.
As an intelligent fixed bearing joint with
an optimized FEM design, the GuideX
guide shoe is a genuine highlight in the
GX Series. Its stable design is the basis
for the machine‘s outstanding platen
parallelism.
Thanks to the innovative technology, the
greatly reduced forces are transmitted
to the linear guides. This keeps the
guides protected over the long term and
maintains their precise ease of move-
ment. The movements are optimal in
terms of energy usage and the sensitive
mold area protection can achieve its
full effect.
Fast locking thanks to GearX
GearX locks the machine within the
shortest possible time. The locking
element is positively engaged in the tie
bar notches via a short flux of force
inside the unit. The enclosed locking
unit is located behind the moving mold
fixing platen and is permanently protected.
Thanks to the optimized and no-frills
design, accessibility to the ejection area
remains habitually spacious and clear.
Depending on the need, customer-specific
ejector hole patterns, ejector plates,
unscrewing units or rotary distributors
can be placed flexibly behind the moving
platen.
The hydromechanical dual
platen clamping unit in the
GX machine sets new standards
in terms of quality and produc-
tivity. With the ingenious
GuideX guide shoe, forces
are ideally absorbed and the
service life of the molds is
increased. The innovative
GearX locking device functions

Clamping force - quick and energy-
efficient with the "BluePower“ optimized
clamping block
The clamping force is built up through
four pressure pads behind the permanent
mold fixing platen. The refined running
surfaces and seals in the pressure pads
are specially designed for high permanent
operation as a result of their material
pairing. One of the impressive features of
the new energy-efficient clamping block
is its speed in building up and reducing
clamping force.
Stable, permanently precise mold
platens guarantee the highest possible
part quality
Excellent stiffness is ensured through the
cast-optimized mold fixing platens with
a rib structure. The rigid central node,
the diagonal ribs and the large distances
between the tiebars permit the installation
of small, medium-sized and large molds.
Thanks to the coherent overall concept of
the GX clamping unit comprising platens,
a clamping bed and GuideX, all occurring
forces are ideally distributed. Your molds
are therefore permanently protected.
Your advantages:
– Short dry cycle time (2.3 seconds *)

of the robot - and vice versa.
The control system: Intelligent and
integrated
The injection molding process and auto-
mation form one unit via the integrated
control system with VARAN-BUS tech-
nology. Process data are available in
real time. Programming and operation
are easy and do not call for any in-depth
programming knowledge. To permit
optimum teaching and ergonomic pro-
gramming, all LRX/LRX-S machines have
a handheld pendant with a touchscreen
display whose operating steps are identical
with the machine‘s control panel.
With the integrated solution, the entire
process can be controlled via a common
operating panel. The machine and robot
data are saved in one dataset. This also
ensures maximum data security and
excellent optimum operating convenience.
20 safety zones, of which 5 are dynamic,
increase the efficiency of the control pro-
grams.
