DA Series Standard Vertical Injection Molding Machines

DA Series combines standard vertical clamping with vertical injection across fixed platen, slide table, rotary table, and customized configurations.

It is the baseline platform for many vertical molding projects, giving your team a clear way to compare table configuration, model range, and workflow fit.

DA Series Platform

DA Series uses standard vertical clamping and vertical injection. It is often the first platform to review when a project can use fixed platen, slide table, rotary table, or customized table configurations across the available model range.

  • Broad tonnage range 15T-800T across 46 models in 7 configuration categories
  • All table configurations Fixed, slide, rotary, right-angle, and specialized setups
  • Standard vertical structure Proven tie-bar clamping with vertical injection for reliable, stable molding
  • Widest application coverage Insert, overmolding, thermoset, LSR, footwear, brush, and industrial parts

Key Structure

Standard vertical clamping with vertical injection

DA Series machines use a conventional tie-bar structure where the clamping unit moves vertically. The mold opens and closes along the vertical axis, and the injection unit injects material vertically into the mold. This straightforward design provides stable, repeatable clamping and is the industry workhorse for vertical injection molding.

Clamping
Vertical clamping with tie-bars for stable mold alignment
Injection
Vertical injection direction - material enters from above the mold
Tonnage
15T-800T across 46 models for applications of every scale

Why this structure matters

  • - Insert molding: Gravity helps hold inserts in place before clamping - the vertical layout keeps components positioned naturally during mold close.
  • - Overmolding: Pre-placed substrates stay stable on the lower mold half while the upper half closes vertically.
  • - Thermoset & BMC: Vertical injection supports controlled material feeding for heat-sensitive and fiber-filled compounds.
  • - Multi-cavity molds: Even clamping distribution across the platen surface for consistent part quality.

Configurations & Models

35 Models | 4 Table Types

Choose your table configuration,
then find the right model.

Each configuration is designed around how inserts are loaded and how loading interacts with the molding cycle. Scroll through to compare specifications across all four table types. Full 25-parameter data sheets are available on request.

Fixed platen vertical injection molding machine

Table Configuration

Standard - Fixed Platen

10 models | DA-150 - DA-3000

The lower platen stays fixed with one mold position and stable, repeatable clamping. Works well when the table does not need to move during loading. Suitable for simple insert placement and standard molding processes.

Single slide table vertical injection molding machine

Table Configuration

Single Slide Table

9 models | DA-150S - DA-2100S

One sliding lower platen moves out for insert loading, then slides back under the clamping unit. Improves operator access to the mold area. Often reviewed for manual insert loading and small-to-medium batch production where loading and molding alternate.

Double slide table vertical injection molding machine

Table Configuration

Double Slide Table

8 models | DA-150DS - DA-1600DS

Two alternating lower platens. While one mold is under clamp for injection, the other is outside for part removal and insert loading. Higher manual loading efficiency than single-slide operation for workflows that benefit from overlapping loading and molding.

Rotary table vertical injection molding machine

Table Configuration

Rotary Table

8 models | DA-300R - DA-2100R

A rotating table with multiple stations where insert loading and molding happen in parallel. Enables a more continuous production rhythm. Commonly selected for insert molding, overmolding, electronics, medical, and automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions About DA Series

What types of products are commonly reviewed for DA Series machines?
DA Series machines are commonly reviewed for insert molding, overmolding, thermoset and BMC molding, LSR and silicone molding, footwear components, brush molding, seals, and general industrial parts. The standard vertical clamping and vertical injection structure makes DA a practical starting point for many standard vertical injection molding applications.
Which table configurations does DA Series support?
DA Series supports all four main table configurations: fixed platen for stable single-station molding, single slide table for manual insert loading, double slide table for alternating loading-and-molding workflows, and rotary table for continuous production with parallel loading and molding. Right-angle slide, multi-color, and combined tandem configurations are also available for specialized projects.
How does DA Series differ from DC and DK Series?
DA Series uses a standard vertical clamping structure with tie-bars and vertical injection - the most common configuration for general vertical molding. DC Series removes the tie-bars (tie-bar-less vertical clamping) to create an open working area for cable connectors, power plugs, and small insert applications. DK Series keeps the tie-bar structure but uses horizontal injection, making it suitable for larger insert molding, metal inserts, and higher-tonnage industrial parts.
How do I determine the right DA Series model and tonnage for my application?
Model selection depends on mold dimensions, tie-bar spacing, required clamp force, projected area, material behavior, shot weight, and insert loading workflow. Send product drawings, material information, mold information, and production targets so the engineering team can review the DA Series model and table configuration path.
Are DA Series specifications customizable?
Yes. Beyond the standard specification ranges shown in the tables, the engineering team can discuss adjustments to screw diameter, injection unit configuration, platen dimensions, table or rotary size, control options, and other parameters after reviewing your specific application requirements.
