SIPA’s latest generation of XFORM PET preform injection molding systems impress in many ways: they are of course very fast, very reliable, very flexible, very energy-efficient, very cost-effective. But they are not vibrating or shacking – literally. Please watch an XFORM 500 system equipped with a 180Cav tooling running at full tilt, with a cycle time of 5.4 seconds.
Look at the glass: there is hardly a ripple on the water. Vibration obviously puts stress in a system, and when that system is running fast for very long periods – which is often the case in PET preform production – that stress is significant. It can cause premature wear on moving parts, leading to high maintenance costs on the machine and the tooling, especially on large systems. BUT, not on XFORM.
