FCS FB-R Fifth-Generation Machine: Driving a Green Future, Honored with the 2025 Ringier Technology Innovation Award
Recently, FCS Group has been honored with the "2025 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for the Plastics Industry" for its innovative masterpiece – the FB-R Series (5th Generation) Next-Generation Precision Energy-Saving Multi-Component Molding System. This prestigious award not only highlights FCS Group’s strong expertise in injection molding technology but also recognizes its outstanding contributions to supporting the national "Dual Carbon Strategy" and promoting green industrial development.
Mr. Jerry Wang, Chairman of FCS Ningbo Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., stated: "We are deeply honored to receive the Ringier Technology Innovation Award. Facing the rising trend of large-scale customized production, multi-component injection molding technology has become a key solution for achieving rapid production. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold our commitment to energy-saving and eco-friendly design concepts, constantly innovating to drive the industry's green transformation."
Since the launch of the highly representative FB Series Two-Color Injection Molding Machine in 1984, this series has set the benchmark in the multi-color and multi-material injection molding industry with its outstanding performance and wide application range. To further enhance its market competitiveness, FCS has developed the 5th Generation FB Series Multi-Component High-Precision Injection Molding Machine, emphasizing energy efficiency and eco-friendliness while ensuring high productivity and stability. The new model not only features an optimized appearance but also integrates several innovative functions to better meet user expectations and demands.

To significantly enhance energy efficiency, the FB-R Series (5th Generation) injection molding machine incorporates a brand-new clamping mechanism, resulting in a 15% increase in overall rigidity. With an upgraded turntable specification, the mold load capacity has been enhanced by 10%, while the integration of a high-end electric turntable enables a 10% increase in production speed. In terms of detailed design, the ejector and toggle system now utilize lubricated steel pipes, and the clamping unit is equipped with linear guides. Additionally, the moving mold and tie bars are designed to be contact-free, improving mold opening and closing speed by 15%. Moreover, the movement of the hydraulic base now adopts a linear guide structure for more precise control, and the injection unit is fitted with linear guides, achieving an overall 10% energy savings.
Furthermore, to address the issue of bubbles generated by negative pressure when the oil pump draws oil, which can damage the pump and hydraulic components, the entire electro-hydraulic servo unit adopts an oil return filtration system. This enhances energy conversion efficiency, ensuring smoother injection molding operations.
In terms of product precision, the FB-R Series (5th Generation) injection molding machine excels as well. For instance, the entire electro-hydraulic servo unit and electric injection unit utilize a shared rectifier power supply. This allows the upper control unit to manage multiple inverter units and servo motors, thereby improving product precision and stability, achieving an injection repeat positioning accuracy of 0.01mm.
To further enhance user-friendliness, the system has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, optimizing the UI interface and user experience. The system now includes multiple new functions, increasing equipment precision and response speed by 20%, while also displaying real-time energy consumption and optimizing efficiency for better energy savings. Additionally, after a full upgrade, the system's overall pressure has been increased by 50%.
In terms of design, the FB-R Series (5th Generation) injection molding machine retains its premium quality and durability. The overall footprint of the machine has been reduced by 15% while maintaining the same specifications. The ergonomic modular sheet metal design allows for easier maintenance, while the piping adopts a new weld-free technology, making the machine more eco-friendly, safe, stable, and reliable.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Award committee highly praised the FB-R Series (5th Generation) injection molding machine, stating: "This equipment represents a significant innovation built upon previous models, addressing key pain points in market applications. This recognition not only affirms FCS’s technological strength but also serves as a driving force for the green development of the entire injection molding industry."
