So Much Continues to Happen at MPI<\/b><\/h3>\n

For over 51 years, MPI has established itself as the worldwide leader in wax-room innovation. Every year MPI introduces innovative technology or substantial improvements to their current product line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Our Latest and Most Versatile Injector Ever \u2013 the 5X Crossover
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most exciting developments is the 5X Crossover Injector<\/a>. The 5X has all the performance capabilities of our standard injector, including Smart Controls, but is the first one capable of injecting ceramic materials, pattern wax, runner wax, and soluble wax; all equally well. The 5X features rigid, direct in-line injection with Smart Purge. It is the first injector to truly allow for rapid and easy changeover from one ready-to-use material to another in only a matter of minutes. It utilizes a hot swappable reservoir system that allows for off-machine melting, preparation, and conditioning of materials. This means you can readily store full reservoirs keeping them mixed, homogenous, and at the proper temperature. The 5X comes in 25T, 50T and 100T sizes and includes the same impressive range of options as available on all other MPI injectors.<\/p>\n

\"AutomatedAutomated Sticky Wax Assembly for Job-Shop Foundries featuring our NEW Try Before Your Buy Program<\/h3>\n

MPI is proud to introduce a sticky wax version of their 20-14 Automated Pattern Assembly System (APAS)<\/a>. This new unit, model SA20-12, was designed for commercial foundries where there is a low-volume, high part diversity and those with high changeover demands. Previously, a unique hot knife and gripper, were required for each part making it impractical for lower-volume, high-changeover jobs. This new adaptable system uses a hot air knife and universal gripper allowing the robot to dip each part in sticky wax and weld them to a warmed runner with the same degree of accuracy, orientation, and precision as our industry leading APAS. The flexibility of the gripper allows it to pick up many distinct types of parts. Parts can be changed with a simple programming adjustment. There are many advantages to this new unit. It has a smaller profile and footprint than our standard APAS. Additionally, the unit is priced to meet the lower cost requirements of the commercial industry and does not require the investment in additional custom tooling. Finally, you can now achieve the same high degree of precision, high-yield, and low-scrap levels with this fast, versatile, high-changeover solution.
