Both alternate two stations so one loads while the other molds. The V-SD uses two platens sliding linearly left and right. The V-R uses a servo-driven rotary table that rotates between stations. The V-R offers faster changeover, more precise positional repeatability, and supports two-colour molding where rotational alignment matters.
The V-SD is simpler and more cost-effective for single-material alternating production. Choose the V-R for two-colour applications or when you need the fastest possible station changeover.
Yes. The V-R Rotary supports two-colour and multi-colour vertical injection molding. The servo-driven rotary table provides precise rotational alignment between stations, and dual-mold dynamic injection control allows independent injection parameters for each colour.
This is the primary advantage of rotary over double-slide for applications requiring multiple materials or colours in a single part.
The V-R excels in high-throughput insert molding and two-colour vertical applications: automotive switches and buttons with soft-touch overmolding, two-colour tool handles, multi-material connectors, consumer electronics with coloured accents, and any vertical application requiring the fastest cycle times or multiple materials in a single part.
Yes. The V-R includes safety light curtain and acrylic safety door with interlock as standard. Robot interface is supported. Centralised utility connections on the rotary platen simplify automated peripheral integration. Upper and lower mold core pulls and air blows are available.
