APPLICATIONS · INJECTION MOLDING

Certified Switching Solutions For Injection Molding Machinery.

Meet international safety standards with positive-break gate interlocks and IP66 oil-resistant limit switches built for high-tonnage hydraulic and electric presses.

THE DEMANDS

Operating Demands In Injection Molding Applications.

Heat And Oil Around The Clock

Positions near the mold clamp and hydraulic manifold face temperatures up to 70°C and airborne hydraulic oil mist. IP66/IP67 sealed housings with oil-resistant NBR gaskets prevent internal fluid ingress.

Positive-Break Circuit Disconnection

Operator guard doors require certified safety switches with forced-disconnect NC contacts (EN 60947-5-1). The mechanism mechanically separates contact points to interrupt the mold closing circuit when the gate opens.

High-Frequency Mechanical Endurance

Continuous three-shift operations require high operational durability. Internal dual-spring contact structures maintain consistent travel response and contact resistance over 500,000 electrical cycles.

SWITCH POSITIONS

Three Positions On A Molding Machine.

The Safety Gate

The safety gate mechanically disconnects the circuit before mold closing. Direct opening mechanisms guarantee positive circuit cut-off whenever the operator slides the gate open.

T4N-R Series

Door Interlocking

Before the car moves, the door interlock switch must confirm every landing door is closed and locked. This is a safety-rated function — the switch must provide positive-break operation so that even if contacts weld, the circuit opens. European and Asian elevator codes specify safety-rated switches for this position.

Machine-Side Positions

Die-cast oil-resistant housings (IP66) protect hydraulic clamp and ejector stops from hydraulic mist, while economical resin switches handle lighter outer covers.

WHAT MATTERS

What Molding Machine Builders Ask Us First.

EN 201 Safety Interlock Compliance

Injection molding export standards require positive-break safety interlocks on operator gates. The T4NS series features certified forced-disconnect NC contacts (EN 60947-5-1) to reliably cut mold clamping circuits when gates slide open.

Hydraulic Mist & High Temperature Sealing

Positions near the clamp cylinder and manifold face continuous hydraulic oil spray and radiant heat. Heavy-duty die-cast housings (IP66/IP67) with oil-resistant NBR seals prevent contact fouling and false tripping.

Million-Cycle Mold Stroke Durability

High-speed cycle times demand switch mechanisms that maintain repeatable contact actuation through millions of shifts without spring fatigue or position drift on core-pull and ejector stops.
