38+ Years of Vertical Injection Molding Experience

Since 1987, FOMTEC has specialized in vertical injection molding technology and continuously developed machines for different products, materials, mold configurations and production requirements.

Vertical injection molding provides convenient access to the mold, making it particularly suitable for products that require metal inserts, electrical terminals, wires, cables, components or other inserts to be positioned before injection.

Over the years, FOMTEC has developed machine configurations for both standard and specialized production processes, including:

• Insert molding

• Plastic overmolding

• Multi-color molding

• Multi-material molding

• Rotary-table molding

• Double-slide molding

• Two-platen molding

• LSR molding

• Thermosetting molding

• Cable and wire overmolding

• Precision insert molding

• Automated injection molding

• Customized molding solutions

This experience allows FOMTEC to evaluate a customer's complete production process and recommend a machine configuration based on the actual application rather than clamping force alone.

Vertical Injection Molding Machine Portfolio

FOMTEC provides different vertical injection molding machine configurations to meet different production requirements.

Standard Vertical Injection Molding Machines

Standard vertical machines are designed for general injection molding and insert molding applications. Their vertical mold configuration provides convenient access for manual or automated insert loading and part removal.

Typical applications include electrical components, hardware, automotive components, industrial parts and consumer products.

Slide-Table Vertical Injection Molding Machines

Slide-table machines provide convenient mold access for insert loading, unloading and production preparation. The sliding mold table can help separate insert preparation from the molding area and improve operator accessibility.

Double-Slide Vertical Injection Molding Machines

Double-slide machines use two mold stations to allow molding and insert preparation to take place in parallel.

While one station is being used for injection molding, the other station can be prepared for the next production cycle. This configuration is suitable for high-volume insert molding applications where reducing auxiliary time is important.

Typical applications include automotive connectors, electrical components, wire harness components, dental floss picks and other insert-molded products.

Rotary-Table Vertical Injection Molding Machines

Rotary-table machines use multiple working stations to integrate different production steps within one machine.

Depending on the configuration, rotary tables can be used for insert loading, injection molding, overmolding, multi-color molding, multi-material molding and automated part removal.

Two-Platen Vertical Injection Molding Machines

Two-platen machines are designed for applications requiring larger mold space, direct hydraulic clamping and stable mold support.

They can be configured for selected automotive, industrial and large-part insert molding applications.

Multi-Color and Multi-Material Machines

FOMTEC develops multi-color and multi-material vertical injection molding machines using multiple injection units and specialized machine configurations.

Depending on the product, the machine can be configured for two-color, three-color, two-material or multi-material molding.

Typical applications include handles, automotive components, consumer products, medical components and functional overmolded parts.

LSR and Thermosetting Machines

FOMTEC also provides specialized vertical injection molding solutions for Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), Bakelite, BMC and other thermosetting materials.

These machines are configured according to material characteristics, mold requirements, injection conditions and production requirements.

Core Vertical Injection Molding Technologies

FOMTEC focuses on technologies that take advantage of the flexibility and accessibility of vertical injection molding.

Insert Molding

Insert molding is one of the core applications of FOMTEC vertical injection molding machines.

Vertical mold access makes it convenient to position inserts manually or automatically before injection.

Typical inserts include:

• Metal terminals

• Connectors

• Wires

• Cables

• Bushings

• Hardware components

• Electronic components

This makes vertical injection molding suitable for many automotive, electrical and industrial applications.

Overmolding

FOMTEC machines can be configured for overmolding applications where plastic or elastomer materials are molded around an existing component.

Applications include:

• Wire overmolding

• Cable overmolding

• Connector overmolding

• Handle overmolding

• Automotive components

• Electrical components

Multi-Color and Multi-Material Molding

Multiple injection units and specialized machine configurations allow different colors or materials to be molded within the same production process.

This can help manufacturers integrate multiple functions or appearances into one component and reduce secondary assembly processes.

Automation Integration

FOMTEC vertical injection molding machines can be integrated with:

• Robots

• Automatic insert loading

• Feeding systems

• Part removal systems

• Vision inspection

• Conveyors

• Automatic sorting

• Customized automation equipment

The automation configuration is selected according to the product, mold, cycle time and production volume.

The integration of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and automation engineering allows FOMTEC to develop machine configurations for both standard and specialized applications.

Application-Specific Injection Molding Solutions

Different products require different molding processes. For this reason, FOMTEC evaluates the complete production requirements when selecting a machine.

The engineering process can consider:

• Product geometry

• Product weight

• Material

• Mold dimensions

• Number of cavities

• Injection volume

• Required clamping force

• Cycle time

• Insert configuration

• Production volume

• Automation requirements

This application-oriented approach helps determine the appropriate machine type, injection unit, clamping system, mold configuration and automation solution.

Machine + Mold + Automation

For application-specific projects, FOMTEC can develop integrated production solutions combining the injection molding machine, mold and automation system.

Depending on the application, a production system may include:

Material Feeding → Insert Loading → Mold Positioning → Injection → Demolding → Robot Handling → Inspection → Product Transfer

The exact production configuration depends on the product design, material, mold, cavity number, cycle time and required production volume.

This integrated approach is particularly useful for manufacturers seeking to improve production consistency, reduce manual operations and develop automated high-volume production.
