Additionally, several features that were optional are now standard. The new Alpha-SiB series includes a higher resolution and performance Panel iH control and new electrical standards. Using Modbus and SPI communication protocols, Milacron says it has developed capabilities that can reduce human error in operation and allowing for the creation of unique shut-down sequences via Roboshot’s customized I/O feature applying ADD/OR logic.įive models of Fanuc’s Roboshot Alpha-SiB series of all-electric injection molding machines will be made available by Milacron. Milacron noted that since NPE 2018, when it showcased the machines, the company has seen great interest in integrating Mold-Masters hot runner controllers. Among these special features is a new high-flow capacity water system that prevents operation without water flow, developed by Milacron using 3D modeling. This cooperation includes creating special features specifically developed for medical, LSR, optics, electrical connector and packaging applications. Milacron said it has collaborated with Fanuc on adapting the Roboshot Alpha to tackle a wide variety of applications. The company said it will deliver its first Alpha S140iB to a custom molder in the Midwest in the second quarter of 2021. The Alpha-SiB series expands the Roboshot line to include smaller injection capacity models in multiple sizes. The Alpha-SiB will launch with five models offering clamp force of 55, 110, 140, 165 and 240 tons and featuring numerous injection capacities.
