consistent part quality, faster cycle times,
and superior levels of repeatability in
your injection molding process.
The Schöttli™ quick change system
allows for threaded cores to be replaced
quickly, directly from the parting line,
reducing downtime and increasing the
availability of the mold. The Schöttli™
cluster method includes two sided,
symmetrical gating, which enables signif-
icant material savings. Our state–of–the–
art manufacturing capabilities include a
high degree of automation, allowing for
the highest precision, with tolerances up
to 0.005 mm.

experienced engineering team finds the
ideal solution for any medical application,
looking at dimensional stability, material
specification, finish and functionality.
We also offer solutions for the four–axle
unmolding cubic and rotationally sym-
metrical components with high–detail
diversity.

Integrated Systems
for Medical
Applications
Husky’s machine platform for medical
manufacturing, HyperSync™ is specifically
designed for high productivity, repeat-
ability and low operating costs, and can
be used for a wide range of applications.
The HyperSync™ platform is robust and
well–equipped to handle high–cavitation
and stack molds, featuring our patented
Reflex™ platen, which extends mold life
by evenly distributing clamping forces. It
also utilizes wide tiebar spacing, improving
support for heavy molds and reducing
mold wear.
6 Injection
Molding Solutions for the Medical Market
With our all–new HyperSync™ integrated
system for medical applications, we are
able to offer system–level enhancements
that improve part quality and precision,
extend tooling life, and increase pro-
ductivity. Increased electrification of the
machine, including electric clamp lock,
electric mold stroke, energy recovery sys-
tem, and speed variable pump, ensures
optimum energy usage and reduces
overall operating costs.
Additionally, Husky offers a range of hot
runner technology optimized for medical
application manufacturing. Our hot
runners are designed to fit an extensive
range of application needs and offer
a wide processing window, fast color
change and excellent quality parts. Our
Ultra nozzles give molders the choice of
valve gating, hot tip gating or side–gat-
ing depending on requirements. Husky’s
Ultra Helix™ valve gate nozzles make it
possible to direct gate parts with gate
vestige so clean it is often unmeasurable.
This level of gate quality lasts for millions
of cycles—longer than any other valve
gate currently available. Every hot runner
is designed for the specific application,
and melt channels are fully balanced and
sized to fit the requirements of fast color
change times and optimized cavity–to–
cavity balance.
Also available to medical customers are
our Altanium® temperature controllers,
which come equipped with an intuitive
touch–screen interface and provide two
to 255 zones of control. Additionally,
Shotscope™ NX process and productivity
monitoring software allows molders to
collect, manage and analyze production
information in order to maximize pro-
ductivity and reduce downtime.
