There is a need for an injection molding machine that can mold micro sized parts (.0001-.1g) with minimal to zero runner waste, M5 has filled that need and patented such a technology, that has been proven to work and is being used in commercial applications.
Molding multiple parts from one pellet's worth of plastic is a challenge that growing numbers of molders want to tackle. It is driving development of new technology in injection machines, tooling, parts handling, and inspection.
Business Case:
The M5 iE Micro MoldingTechnology is currently the only standard off-the-shelf injection molding machine available on the market that are capable of injection shot sizes down to .0001grams and below, and at these shot weights, repeatability and residence times are often an issue, M5 has solved these issues.
Run your moldable materials efficiently.
