TP-SMART

Smart Two-Platen. Modular by Design.

The TP-SMART brings Chen Hsong’s proven two-platen technology to a more accessible machine class. 550 to 1,700 tonnes of clamping force in a compact footprint, with a modular clamping unit that pairs with multiple injection carriages and power configurations. A patented lock-nut mechanism delivers fast, shock-free, silent clamping with high precision and reliability. 

4th-generation servo drive with 60% improved mold opening position repeatability. Intelligent control system with 10-stage injection speed and 10-stage molding pressure. Linear guide rails on the injection unit, balanced dual injection carriage cylinders, and hydraulic mold height adjustment. Available in standard and wide-platen (WP) configurations for larger, more complex molds. Proven by batch procurement from leading home appliance and automotive manufacturers.

FAQ

01 How Does The TP-SMART Compare To The Supermaster TP?

The Supermaster TP is the heavyweight platform for the largest applications, covering 700 to 6,500 tonnes with 13 clamping and 14 injection units in a mix-and-match system.

The TP-SMART covers 550 to 1,700 tonnes with a modular, smart design that brings two-platen advantages to a more accessible machine class. Both share Chen Hsong’s patented two-platen technology, NON-STOP™ reliability, and Precision Hydraulics™.

Choose the Supermaster TP for maximum tonnage and configuration flexibility. Choose the TP-SMART for smart, modular two-platen performance at mid-to-large tonnage.

The TP-SMART clamping unit is compatible with multiple injection carriages and power configurations. This means you can match the clamping force to different injection capacities depending on your product, rather than being locked into a single fixed configuration. It also supports mainstream materials including PP, PS, ABS, PC, and PA.

The TP-SMART is proven in automotive components, home appliance housings, daily necessities, and 3C electronics production. Its combination of two-platen clamping force, compact footprint, and modular flexibility makes it effective for manufacturers producing medium-to-large parts who need two-platen performance without stepping up to ultra-high tonnage.

Yes. The TP-SMART WP (wide-platen) series offers wider platen dimensions, larger tie-bar distances, and longer opening stroke for larger and more complex molds. The WP configuration also provides enhanced dynamic stability for deep-cavity parts and molds with complex coring mechanisms.

The MK6 Large (800-1,650T) and TP-SMART (550-1,700T) overlap on tonnage, but the machine architecture is fundamentally different. The TP-SMART is a two-platen machine with a significantly shorter overall length, up to 50% more opening stroke and daylight, and uniform clamping force distribution across the full mold face.

Choose the TP-SMART when floor space is limited, when your molds are large or deep-cavity, or when uniform force distribution is critical. Choose the MK6 Large when you prefer toggle-based clamping and want the broadest application flexibility at large tonnage.

The TP-SMART uses a 4th-generation servo drive system that delivers 60% improved mold opening position repeatability and 2x faster high-pressure release speed compared to earlier generations. This translates to tighter part tolerances and shorter cycle times.

Yes. The TP-SMART supports standard robot interfaces (EUROMAP 67, EUROMAP 12) and is designed for integration with local automation suppliers. The lower machine height improves ergonomics for both manual operation and robotic part take-out. 

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

The TP-SMART shares core two-platen technology with the Supermaster TP, ensuring parts availability and service expertise across the full Chen Hsong two-platen range.
