FCS Delivers Customized HB-2500R Electric Horizontal Rotary Table 2K Machine to Koito
In July 2026, Ningbo FCS and Koito, the world’s largest automotive lighting manufacturer, held a delivery ceremony for the HB-2500R large horizontal rotary table multi-component injection molding machine at FCS’s Qianwan facility. Customized to meet Koito’s specific requirements, the electric opposed-injection machine marks a new milestone in their cooperation on advanced automotive lighting equipment. Executives from both companies attended the ceremony.
Since its establishment in 1974, FCS Group has continuously advanced multi-component injection molding technology. FCS began developing two-component machines in 1984 and later became a drafting organization for industry group standards on multi-component plastic injection molding machines. With high reliability, stable yield rates, and strong customization capabilities, FCS has become a preferred multi-component machine brand for global customers. By the end of 2025, cumulative sales of FCS two-component machines had reached USD 805 million, with 6,610 units delivered, including more than 1,381 medium- and large-tonnage machines for automotive applications.
The HB-2500R delivered to Koito represents another major achievement for FCS in large-scale multi-component injection molding equipment. This customized model features several advanced technologies:
🔷 Three Electric Injection Units with Flexible Center Distances
The HB-2500R features three electric injection units, including two movable units on the fixed-platen side that support multiple injection center distances. This configuration increases production flexibility and accommodates different mold structures and material combinations, making it ideal for integrated multi-color and multi-material automotive lighting components.
🔷 Unified Control Platform Enhances Data and Motion Performance
The machine controller and servo drives for the electric injection units use a unified platform from the same supplier. This improves data transmission speed, communication stability, motion accuracy, and operational smoothness, supporting reliable production of high-precision automotive lighting components.
🔷 Dual-Core Control and Edge Computing for Large-Scale Systems
The HB-2500R combines the injection molding machine control system with a centralized auxiliary equipment control system. Edge computing improves the processing of large volumes of synchronized data while reducing response delays, signal interference, and control instability. This architecture supports reliable high-speed, high-precision, and continuous production.
Koito Group is the world’s largest automotive lighting manufacturer, with annual revenue approaching JPY 1 trillion and more than a century of industry experience. Its products include headlamps, rear combination lamps, and advanced lighting systems supplied to major global automakers. Koito maintains strict requirements for molding precision, appearance quality, and reliability. Its selection of the FCS HB-2500R demonstrates strong recognition of FCS’s multi-component molding expertise and customization capabilities.
As the automotive industry accelerates toward electrification, smart mobility, and lightweight design, automotive lighting is evolving toward full-width integrated structures and multi-color, multi-material molding. The successful delivery of the HB-2500R will support Koito’s development and mass production of advanced lighting products. Both companies will continue expanding cooperation in manufacturing equipment and molding technologies to advance the automotive lighting industry.
Looking ahead, FCS Group will continue to pursue innovation and provide customers with reliable, high-value smart injection molding solutions. We take innovative actions to deliver efficient products, encourage excellent humanities, create a green environment, and shape a better world.
