DMZ III Two-Platen

Multi-Material Precision. Two-Platen Scale.

The DMZ III Two-Platen extends Chen Hsong’s multi-material platform to larger parts requiring higher clamping force. Same 4 patented rotary platen technologies and servo-driven ±0.005° positional accuracy as the DM III toggle series. Patented locking mechanism delivers balanced, rapid, shock-free, and precise clamping. Two-platen design provides larger mold space and longer opening stroke for bigger multi-material molds. 

Modular injection system with 5 configuration types for flexible multi-material production from 550 to 750 tonnes. Reduced machine height for easier part take-out. High-strength machine frame with upsized load-bearing profiles for minimal deformation during operation. eDrive servo plasticising standard for 30% higher efficiency. OPC-UA connectivity standard. Built for large automotive components, industrial equipment, and multi-material parts that exceed toggle clamping range. 

Core Values

4 Patented Rotary Platen Technologies

  • Patented clamping device prevents platen tilt for uniform force distribution and extended mold life
  • Patented support device with eccentric fine-tuning stays firm and prevents loosening
  • Patented ejection device with spring-loaded friction ring reduces friction during rotation
  • Patented injection cylinder device enables linear injection without rotational movement, eliminating oil leakage

Two-Platen Clamping Advantage

  • Patented locking mechanism for balanced, rapid, shock-free, and precise clamping
  • Larger mold space and longer opening stroke than toggle equivalent
  • Reduced machine height for easier part take-out and automation integration
  • Proprietary moving platen slider mechanism for smooth operation

Servo-Driven Rotary Platen Precision

  • Positional accuracy ±0.005° with optical encoder closed-loop control
  • Clearance ≤0.15mm, more than twice the precision of industry average (0.3-0.5mm)
  • High-rigidity alloy steel base improves mold alignment accuracy by 60%
  • Rotary table load capacity up to 5 tonnes for large multi-material molds

Modular Injection and Controls

  • 5 injection unit configurations: piggyback (P), vertical (V), lateral (L), on-mold (M), horizontal parallel (H)
  • eDrive servo plasticising standard for 30% higher efficiency with parallel operations
  • 15″ touchscreen with EtherCAT bus, OPC-UA, Modbus, and CANOPEN connectivity
  • High-strength machine frame minimises deformation for stable production and extended machine life

FAQ

01What Is The Difference Between The DMZ III Two-Platen And The DM III Toggle?

Both share the same 4 patented rotary platen technologies, modular injection system, and servo-driven rotary platen with ±0.005° positional accuracy. The DM III uses toggle clamping from 168 to 568 tonnes.

The DMZ III uses two-platen clamping from 550 to 750 tonnes with a patented locking mechanism.

The two-platen design provides larger mold space, longer opening stroke, and reduced machine height. Choose the DMZ III for larger parts, heavier molds, or when you need the flexibility of a two-platen mold area.

Two-platen clamping provides larger mold space relative to machine footprint, which is critical for large multi-material molds with rotary platens.

The longer opening stroke accommodates deeper parts, and the reduced machine height makes part take-out and automation integration easier.

For multi-material applications above 500 tonnes, two-platen is often the preferred architecture because it avoids the longer machine lengths associated with large toggle designs.

The DMZ III Two-Platen is designed for large multi-material parts: automotive headlight and tail light assemblies, large appliance panels, industrial equipment housings, and any multi-colour or multi-material application that requires clamping force above 500 tonnes or large mold space.

Rotary table load capacity up to 5 tonnes supports heavy multi-material mold assemblies.

Yes. The DMZ III Two-Platen includes Euro-standard robot mounting holes and OPC-UA connectivity as standard. EU12/EU67 robot interface programmes are available as options.

The reduced machine height design specifically improves accessibility for take-out robots and automation systems.

Chen Hsong provides installation, training, maintenance, and technical support through more than 120 service locations worldwide.

The DMZ III is supported by dedicated multi-material specialist teams with expertise in rotary platen systems, two-platen clamping, and multi-component process optimisation.
