The Dash 2000 is a totally new concept. Its main features are:

Accessability

Total accessibility to the top of the mould. Provision is also made for the mounting of external equipment mould loaders etc.

Rigidity

The symmetrical structure of the dash 2000 produces even loading across the platens. The platens are fully supported and moving table deflection in zero the ideal situation for precision and flashless mouldings

Fume Extraction

The hinged head also incorporates a fume extraction vent Which can easily be connected to an external system.

Control System

One or more Dash presses can be controlled and monitored from a central PC or office based system.

An operator interface unit is fitted allowing direct input of of required temperature, time , pressure, etc.

Vacuum Chamber

The head incorporates a vacuum structure as standard and forms the complete vacuum chamber with the cylinder when closed. No special vacuum boxes are required.

Temperature Control

The circular induction heated platens have no differential radiation from the edges and square corners of a square or rectangular platen to worry about. The platens are shrouded , kept in a vacuum and well insulated. With the press closed, it requires less than 500 watts to maintain temperature.

Mould / Tool changing

When the press is open access is total. No mould run out slides are required and bottom ejection is available for centre plate lifting or component ejection.

Typical single point injection moulded rubber products- runners and flash waste on products vary from 18% to 40 %.

Typical products manufactured on the DASH2000.

These automated arms are available as standard bolt-on equipment.
