UBE Machinery's Injection Molding
Easy-to-operate "Connected" controller

MAC-IX (HH, em, MMX series)

MAC-IX is a more advanced "connected" controller.
Next generation architecture centralized controller. It is easy to operate with two independent monitors and a swivel mechanism, and is capable of high-speed, high-precision control through EtherCAT® high-speed communication, and IoT solution such as factory monitoring, operation records, alarm history, quality control, and quality analysis.

EtherCAT® is a registered trademark of Beckhoff Automation GmbH.

• Exceptional operability with two screens combined on one large screen.
• An upgraded security function that utilizes ID card authentication is equipped as standard.
• Stable molding by high-speed control that is six times faster than a conventional system.

Upgraded operability

• Swing and tilt mechanism

  Easier operation with control panel swing and tilt.

• Injection waveform memory

  An ideal process, waveform can be saved and displayed on-screen for checking shot-to-shot repeatability.
  This feature helps ensure consistent production.

• Vertically long screen

  Long, vertical screens can display twice the trend data compared to a conventional system.

High-speed, high-accuracy control

• Reduced scan time

  Scan time is shortened to 1/6 of a conventional system by using EtherCAT® High-speed communication which provides for stable weight of the molded product.

Upgraded security function

• Security ID card system

  Login by ID card which can be assigned to an operator; automatic change of languages and units.
  Prevention of password loss.

• Traceability management

  Operator's information is added to the operational/setting records.

• Control over operator access

  Capable of setting 4 levels of access for each operator.

User support function

• Alarm guidance

  Actions for alarm resolution by using a flow chart which can be restored easily. Easy identification of faults by improved alarm messages.

• e-manual

  The machine manual can be reviewed on screen.

• Screenshot

  Screenshot data can be saved to USB for ease of printing documents.

• Automatic mold setup memory

  Mold setup data can be saved to internal memory (480 molds) and external memory (1008 molds).

• ECO monitor

  Displays power consumption of servo motors and heater, and support management.

Global reliability

• An uninterruptable power supply(UPS) is standard equipment

  Prevents trouble resulting from voltage drops or brownouts, even in areas with unstable electric power supply. Data can be safely backed-up in case of a power outage.

• A surge suppressor is standard equipment

  Protect the control system from lightening strikes.

• Multi-language selection

  Standard languages available are Japanese, English, Chinese, Spanish and Thai (new addition). Eight other languages are available as an option. A maximum of three languages is selectable from a total of 13 languages.

• Pictographic switches (ISO-compliant)

  Easy to operate by pictographic switches.

• Variety of international standard compliances

  Complies with JIMS, ANSI, EN, GB and KCS standards. Will comply with ISO20430 soon.

• IEC 61131-3-compliant ladder

  The operation sequence is created by global standard ladder language.

High-speed communication bus system EhterCAT®

• Reduces communication variability between devices.

  No multiple control devices, so control can be performed without delays or variations.

• Easier maintenance of hardware components

  No need to update control devices for each device; integrated control devices can be supplied with upwardly compatible control devices for a long period of time.

“SHOT-LINK i 2”
Product and quality information management system for globalization of molding facilities

(Note) "SHOT-LINK i 2" is a production and quality information management software for injection molding machines developed and provided by FANUC Corporation. SHOT-LINK i 2" is to be used in combination with software provided by UBE Machinery Corporation, Ltd.

e-HUMMA (UF series)

Simple operation controller：
e-HUMMA

The "e-HUMMA" control unit realizes both high functionality and high performance of electric injection molding machines and user-friendliness in terms of operability and visibility with the keyword "user-friendly". No need to adjust detailed parameters, and easy setup and operation that does not rely on experience or intuition, anyone can easily realize highly responsive and highly accurate injection control.

[Compact operation panel]

The fusion of a large color LCD touch panel, pictorial membrane sheet, and hard switches has realized improved operability, visibility, and safety.

[Intuitive one-shot icon]

The intuitive one-shot icon is used to instantly open the screen you want to see.

[Control system]

The control system has a high degree of freedom and expandability, allowing for easy system modification and addition of options.

[CAE analysis software: Mold-Link linkage]

*Mold-Link and hardware for Mold-Link operation are optional.
Seamless linkage of molding data between UF series and UIS CAE link system: Mold-Link is possible using a dedicated format.
