The LOG S-8 Servo Injection Molding Machine isn’t just another piece of equipment—it’s your workhorse for getting the job done right. Built to be energy efficient, precise, and versatile, this machine is made to keep up with the demands of your shop. With the KEBA i2880 control platform, you’ll find it easy to program, cutting down on set-up time and keeping maintenance and operation costs low. Plus, the servo unit slashes energy use by 35% to 75% compared to a standard pump motor, putting more money back in your pocket.

What sets the S8 Servo apart is how it combines the raw clamping power of hydraulic machines with the precision and energy savings you’d expect from electric machines. The servo motor works hand-in-hand with a hydraulic pump, moving oil to create the hydraulic pressure that powers the machine’s parts. This setup means the S8 Servo can adjust on the fly to give you just the right amount of power, all while keeping things quieter and more energy-efficient.

Servo motors also react faster than your typical hydraulic pumps, leading to quicker cycles and shorter production times. They’re more precise, too, thanks to encoders that keep tabs on every turn, making sure each movement is spot on.

So why choose the LOG S-8 Servo Injection Molding Machine? Here’s the bottom line: you get a machine that adjusts as it works, can handle a variety of part designs, and uses a robust two-clamp system instead of a toggle. It’s not the cheapest upfront, but it offers the best long-term savings, with lower temps needing less cooling, which means longer life for both the oil and the machine. And with a closed-loop system, it responds faster, helping you see a quicker return on your investment.
