"Hybrid" Operating Principle (Electric Injection)
The "Hybrid" versions (6/12Hy - 6/25 Hy - 10/12Hy and 10/25Hy) have injection driven by a brushless motor managed by an inverter and with encoder-controlled position for high-precision molding at high injection speeds. All other machine movements are controlled by a high-efficiency motor pump unit (driven by an inverter), located in the oil tank and easily inspected.
Special machine plans
The original design of the machine plates allows the assembly of only the dies, thus significantly reducing the size and cost of the moulds.
Movements
The press is governed by microprocessors that monitor and manage the movements, times and temperatures of the production cycle.
Proportional Hydraulics
With the exception of electric injection, all other movements during the cycle phases are managed by proportional hydraulics.
Maximum security
CE certification.
Mold safety
Low pressure approach, with adjustable pressure threshold.
Color touch screen display
USB output and Ethernet connection Modbus TCP as standard or OPC UA (Optional)
Cooling Management
The amount of coolant flow at various points in the press, including the mold, can be adjusted using a flow meter.
For mould temperatures up to 90°C, a specific temperature controller for Babyplast is available with the option of direct control (On/Off, temperatures, alarms) from the machine.
Heating the mold or hot chamber
For mold temperatures up to 200°C, the machine comes standard with two 230V heating zones. These allow you to control the mold temperature directly from the display by inserting cartridge heaters and thermocouples. These same zones can also be used to control a nozzle or hot runner.
Decentralized injection
The injection unit has two injection positions: one central and one 25 mm lower. In the case of a single impression, where central injection is not possible (for aesthetic reasons), the cavity can be kept central to the planes by injecting on one side.

Advantages
Quality of the pieces produced
Low-cavity mold . Dimensional accuracy is easy to achieve. Thanks to the low hourly cost, competitive pricing is possible even with molds with just a few cavities.
Simple cavity layout balancing . Balancing the injection on few-cavity molds is simple and allows for minimal sprueing.
Homogeneous mold temperature . Thanks to direct conditioning on the die.
Resin lamination without friction stress. Thanks to its unique ball lamination system, the temperature in the lamination cylinder is homogeneous and each individual granule is laminated by direct contact with the hot metal. This prevents the resin from overheating due to friction.
Short resin retention time in the injection unit . Thanks to the small size of the plasticizing chamber (15cm³), the material remains at the transformation temperature for a short time even in the case of weights less than one gram.
Low production cost
Low power consumption . Only 3 kW of installed power, inverter for managing the motor speed. In cycle consumption from 1 to 2 kWh.
Reduced mold and material changeover times . Dies secured with two screws per side centered on the machine platens. Material and color change with approximately 100/150g.
Low casting/piece ratio . Injection directly into the matrix resulting in reduced casting. Average casting weight for 4 cavities: 0.6g.
Low consumption for mold cooling . Mold dimensions reduced to just the dies, resulting in reduced time and energy (cooling/heating) to reach and maintain the correct mold temperature.
Production island in less than 1m² . Thanks to its compact size (1x0.6m), it is possible to have a complete production island (machine – chiller – power supply – casting separator – dehumidifier – robot) in less than 1m².
Flexibility for high-volume production . By splitting production across multiple machines, only a portion of the production line stops in the event of a problem. It's possible to produce batches of different colors simultaneously. Starting with small production runs, it's possible to scale up by replicating the machine/mold.
Low investment in the mold
Low-cavity molds . Thanks to the low hourly cost of the machine (approximately €2 to €2.5/h), low production costs are possible even with low-cavity molds. Especially for technical items where cavity costs are high (use of slides, etc.), the savings in reducing the number of cavities leads to significant cost reductions.
Construction of the dies only . Thanks to the special concept we developed, using machine plates that act as mold holders, to produce with a Babyplast it is sufficient to construct only the dies, avoiding the use of mold holder plates.
Mini hot runners with up to 16 injection points . Given the widespread use of Babyplast, leading hot runner manufacturers (Ewikon, Thermoplay, Gunter, Witosa, and Asso) have developed mini hot runners specifically for Babyplast, with up to 16 injection points. In some cases, a special machine nozzle allows direct injection from the machine to the part without a hot runner.
Standardized mini plates . A line of standardized plates for Babyplast molds is available (produced by Meusburger) in various types of steel, where only cavity construction work is required. This allows for significant savings in mold construction time and costs.
