Get Engle...best you can buy in my opinnion or Kraus Maffie

I like the Krauss Maffei controller but the machine mechanics are complicated, (clamping system) and the component placement is to reduce size and not ease of access. The Japanese machines are nice and are repeatable and reliable, Not a fan of Italian machines (POS) and I find american machines to be good as well. In my 20+ years working in the plastics industries I have Processed,maintained and managed in facilities that ran a myriad of different machines and models. Cincinnati Milacron Vista, Vista sentry's, extreme NT controllers, Krauss Maffei B and C models, Netstal Synergy & HP, and Husky X,G and H-line.

My choice of machine is Husky whether you run X,G or the H-line machines they meet your durability,quality of construction,control and customer service criteria.

Scott-you obviously don't work in automotive with a Husky large too age Quad-lock or you'd despise them to no end!! I worked on early model Husky with Texas Instruments controllers; at that time a great machine but still either a thin wall or stack mold machine. Not to mention you can't run a background program in the robot!? What a huge POS.
Engel is better prices than KM but the CC200 plus robot is the bomb! Now I want to play with the new CC300 controller!

Bad part of Engels is that one tends to forget their repair skills." Maytag" of injection presses!
