3. Composition of the Machine

The Battenfeld R 60/200 Injection Molding Machine consists of the following main components:

Injection Unit: This includes the screw, the injection barrel, the feed system, and the heating system. The screw plasticizes the material and injects it into the mold.
Clamping Unit: This consists of the hydraulic mechanism that closes and holds the mold in position during injection.
Unilog B4 Control System: A computerized interface that allows you to program and monitor production parameters such as temperature, injection pressure and cycle times.
Frame and Load-Bearing Structure: The base and frame that support the injection and closing units are constructed of steel to ensure stability and durability.
Hydraulic System: Powers the clamping unit and controls the pressure during injection.
Control Panel: A user interface that allows you to set operating parameters and monitor the status of the machine.

4. Use and Optimization

How to use:

Machine Preparation:
- Load the granular plastic material into the feed funnel.
- Set process parameters via the Unilog B4 system, such as melt temperature, injection pressure, screw speed and cycle times.
Molding Operation:
- The screw plasticizes the material by heating it and pushes it into the cylinder.
- Once the material is plasticized, it is injected into the mold through the screw.
- The clamping unit keeps the mold closed during injection and part cooling.
Removing the Piece:
- After the workpiece has cooled and solidified, the locking unit opens.
- The molded part is ejected from the mold and collected for quality control.

When to use it:

Mass Production: Ideal for the production of large volumes of plastic parts in series, thanks to its capacity for rapid and repetitive cycles.
Complex Components: Suitable for the production of parts that require precision and geometric complexity.
Engineering Materials: Perfect for working with high-performance plastics, including those used in engineering applications.

Materials it works with:

Thermoplastics: ABS, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate.
Engineering Materials: PA (Nylon), POM, PEEK, glass fiber reinforced materials.

Formulas for process optimization:

Screw Speed (V):
$\frac{n \times D}{2}$
$V$ $=$ $2$ $n$ $\times$ $D$ Where
- $n$ is the rotation speed (rpm),
- $D$ is the diameter of the screw (mm),
- $V$ is the feed rate (mm/s).
Injection Pressure (P):
$\frac{F}{A}$
$P$ $=$ $A$ $F$ Where
- $F$ is the injection force (N),
- $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the screw (mm²),
- $P$ is the injection pressure (MPa).

5. Maintenance

Ordinary Maintenance:

Cleaning: Clean the injection unit and external surfaces regularly to remove plastic residue and dust.
Screw Check: Periodically check the screw and cylinder for wear, replacing them if necessary.
Lubrication: Regularly lubricate moving parts, such as guides and bearings, to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation.

Extraordinary Maintenance:

Hydraulic System Inspection: Check the efficiency of the hydraulic system and replace worn components such as seals and pumps.
Unilog B4 Software Update: Ensure your control system is up to date to ensure maximum operational efficiency and safety.

6. Alternatives and Considerations for Buying Used

Alternatives:

Electric Injection Molding Machine: Ideal for those seeking greater energy efficiency and precision.
Hybrid Injection Molding Machine: Combines hydraulic and electrical elements to optimize energy consumption and clamping force.

Choosing a Used Car:

Screw and Cylinder Condition: Check the wear of the screw and cylinder, as they are critical components that directly affect the quality of the product.
Control System Functionality: Ensure that the Unilog B4 system is functioning properly and that all sensors and actuators are in good condition.
Documentation and Maintenance: Request the maintenance booklet to verify that the machine has been regularly maintained and updated.

Why it is better to buy used:

Lower Cost: Buying a used machine can save you significant money compared to buying a new one, especially if the machine has been used very little.
Reliability: Battenfeld balers are known for their durability, and a well-maintained model can provide years of reliable service.
Immediate Availability: A used model is available immediately, avoiding the waiting times for the production and delivery of a new machine.

The Battenfeld R 60/200 injection molding machine is an excellent choice for companies requiring a reliable and precise machine for producing plastic components. The combination of an advanced control system, a powerful hydraulic system, and the robustness of Battenfeld construction make it an ideal solution for demanding production environments. Buying a used model in excellent condition allows you to obtain high quality and performance at a reduced price, with the added benefit of prompt availability.
