Rogan Corp. adds two-shot injection molding presses

Rogan Corp. has expanded its molding capacity with the purchase of two new Wittmann Battenfeld two-shot hydraulic injection molding presses. These new presses, designed for efficient two-shot molding, will also increase Rogan's ability to meet the increasing market demand for more complex parts and component assemblies, while controlling costs, the company stated.

The two new presses are Wittmann Battenfeld HM Series presses, designed with a short footprint to minimize production space requirements. Each features full clamping force evenly distributed over the entire mold space, rectangular clamping platen, short dry cycle times and high structural rigidity and sturdiness. Precise platen parallelism is reportedly maintained during the entire stroke, and platens are supported by low-maintenance linear guides. These features provide a high degree of repeatability of all molding parameters.

In addition, the new presses offer robotics for augmented pick and place operations, and the capability to remove finished parts in three directions, further supporting productivity. They operate through a Windows XP platform and are controlled through a 15-inch high-resolution touch screen.
