2018 KraussMaffei PX 120-250

Of particular interest is the 2018 KraussMaffei PX 120-250 all-electric injection moulding machine.

The machine is listed with a 120-tonne clamping force, 470 x 420 mm tie-bar spacing and 680 x 610 mm mould platens. It has a 400 mm opening stroke, a mould height range of 200 to 550 mm and a 150 mm ejector stroke.

The PX series’ all-electric configuration makes this a notable lot for processors looking to add a modern, compact all-electric machine within the low clamping force range.

Large-format BLB 3D printer

Another major lot is a 2020 BLB Industries MGP 3D printer, equipped with Rexroth IndraControl V touchscreen control.

The machine features a large 1,540 x 1,540 mm table, with approximate axis travel of 2,000 mm in X, 1,500 mm in Y and 1,500 mm in Z, providing a substantial working envelope for large-scale additive manufacturing applications.

Bidding starts at £1000, with a minimum increment of £250.
