(previously known as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Plastic Technology Co., Ltd.).
Ube Machinery and U-MHI Platech have been working together to combine their respective business strengths since the launch of U-MHI Platech in January 2017 out of the merger of their respective injection molding machinery businesses. The HH (Dual H) Series of mid-sized injection molding machines are the first products to be jointly developed by Ube Machinery and U-MHI Platech and the new models incorporate the best technologies of each company. Sales of the HH (Dual H) Series started in February 2018.
The HH (Dual H) Series is available with clamping force ranging from 350 to 850 tons. The machines feature flexible base models and a wide range of catalog options, offering expandability to meet customer needs.
Other features of the HH (Dual H) Series:
The HH (Dual H) Series incorporates and builds on the respective technology strengths of the development partners to realize specialized molding processes including foaming for weight reduction as well as multi-material and decorative molding for enhanced performance. The machines offer expanded possibilities for molding through synchro control of clamping and injection operation to facilitate degassing during resin injection.
The HH (Dual H) Series supports multiple languages and diverse specifications. U&M Plastic Solutions will maintain a global sales and servicing network to broadly market the machines in Japanese and international markets.
