The V-S Single-Slide has one sliding platen. The machine waits while the operator loads inserts on the slid-out platen. The V-SD has two platens alternating left and right. While one platen molds, the operator loads inserts on the other.
If your insert loading time roughly matches your molding cycle time, the V-SD effectively doubles your output from a single injection unit because loading and molding happen simultaneously.
Dual-mold dynamic injection control allows the V-SD to set independent injection parameters for each of the two stations.
As molds wear differently over time, each station can be individually tuned to maintain consistent product quality without needing to replace both molds at the same time. This is standard on the V-SD and extends production yield and mold life.
Choose the V-SD Double-Slide when you need higher output than a single-slide but your application is single-material insert molding. The V-SD is simpler and more cost-effective for straight alternating load/mold workflows.
Choose the V-R Rotary when you need two-colour or two-material molding, when you want servo-driven station rotation for the fastest changeover, or when your mold design requires rotational alignment between stations.
Yes. The V-SD includes safety light curtain and acrylic safety door with interlock as standard. Robot interface is supported. Upper and lower mold core pulls and air blows are available for automated insert loading and part ejection workflows on both stations.
