Launch of the JLM1800-MGIIeL: A High-Capacity Magnesium Injection Molding Machine
2026.05.20
JSW has announced the JLM1800-MGⅡeL, a high-capacity 1,800-ton-class magnesium injection molding machine (17,700 kN) in the JLM-MGⅡe series featuring THIXOMOLDING technology. This new model has been developed to address increasingly diverse and demanding molding requirements across various applications.
Market Background
Magnesium alloys offer superior lightweight properties with stiffness, heat dissipation, electromagnetic shielding, dimensional stability, and recyclability, making them widely used for components in consumer electronics and in-vehicle equipment.
In recent years, the automotive market has seen rapid growth in the adoption of large displays, driven by advances in electrification and digitalization. As a result, demand for larger frames used in in-vehicle displays has been increasing.
The “JLM-MGⅡe” series adopts the environmentally friendly THIXOMOLDING process, enabling clean production without melting furnaces or protective gases. Building on the success of five highly acclaimed models, this new model meets the increasing demand for larger sizes.
Features of the New Model
The JLM1800-MGⅡeL is positioned as an intermediate model between the JLM1300-MGⅡeL and JLM3000-MGⅡeL, offering a clamping force of 17,700 kN and supporting maximum shot weight of over 5kg. Furthermore, the adoption of an electric clamping device enhances both environmental performance and process reproducibility. These improvements enable THIXOMOLDING to meet a broader range of molding requirements, contributing not only to the production of high-precision, high-quality components but also to significant reductions in environmental impact.
