At Chinaplas 2026, Haitian International is announcing the world premiere of the MA5/Ultra injection molding machine. The company emphasizes that this is not a cosmetic change, but an extension of the proven MA5 platform in areas relevant to modern injection molding: higher operating speed, improved precision, reduced energy consumption, and expanded digital process support. As a result, the MA5/Ultra is intended to strengthen the upper segment of the company’s servo-hydraulic portfolio for demanding applications such as multi-cavity production, precision parts and engineered components.
Haitian also points to broader intelligent process support and improved system response characteristics. From an application perspective, the solution is positioned for production environments where repeatability, process stability and time efficiency are critical.
Faster system response and higher productivity
According to the manufacturer, the MA5/Ultra is intended to push efficiency limits by increasing injection performance. For models up to 250 tonnes, an injection speed of up to 150 mm/s is stated, while dry cycle time is to be reduced by 10%. These changes are expected to shorten individual cycles and improve process dynamics and continuity, particularly where time efficiency is a key factor.
Process accuracy and motion repeatability
The MA5/Ultra is equipped with a high-performance dual proportional valve system developed by Haitian, combined with a new-generation motion control system. In this configuration, the company declares higher valve control accuracy, shorter motion control cycles, and faster input/output response times.
The cited demonstration data from the exhibited machine indicates mold opening repeatability maintained at 0.2 mm, while injection positioning repeatability is said to reach 0.1 mm. Haitian links these figures to reduced process variation and consistent part quality, naming medical, optical and electronics manufacturing as example application areas.
Reduced energy consumption
In terms of energy efficiency, the MA5/Ultra is said to build on Haitian’s established servo energy-saving technology and add further measures, including energy-saving heater bands, electrical pre-plasticizing and an optimized hydraulic oil circuit design. The company states that this combined architecture reduces energy consumption by 30–40% compared with standard hydraulic machines. In practice, this is expected to translate into lower energy use per part and improved manufacturing economics.
Digital functions and intelligent services
The MA5/Ultra is to feature a new 15-inch or 18.5-inch full-touch interface with 1080p resolution and RFID identification as standard. In addition to the integrated HT·Xtend functions, the system is said to support capabilities including OTA remote updates, AI-assisted process optimization and AI-based service support. According to the manufacturer, these tools are intended to support activities from production operation to maintenance, reducing changeover times, improving knowledge transfer and increasing overall operational efficiency.
Broader process adaptability
The company describes the MA5/Ultra as being built on a high-performance platform, providing adaptability to diverse molding requirements. In addition to high injection speed and pressure, precise injection control and accurate mold positioning, smaller-tonnage models are said to be equipped as standard with high-strength hardened screws. This is intended to ensure reliable plasticizing and consistent material processing, enabling stable production across a wide range of precision and complex applications.
Presentation at Chinaplas 2026
At Chinaplas (Hall 5.1, Booth C32), the MA5/Ultra is to be presented as an MA1600V/570 Ultra. According to the announcement, the machine will produce fan components for the home appliance industry in a multi-cavity insert molding application with a 35 s cycle time.
