The three-component machine consists of the standard two-component machine and an additional machine base with injection unit in an L-configuration, which can be detached for the purpose of transporting the standard machine.

The three-component machine features a central control panel via which the control systems of both machines can be programmed. In the sequence diagram, these are linked via synchronisation points. This ensures a smooth overall cycle sequence of both machine control systems combining simultaneous and serial movements. It is possible to switch back and forth between the control systems by means of a button.

Two or three-station moulds can be used for three-component injection moulding applications.

In the first process step, a pre-moulded part is initially created in a cavity through the simultaneous injection of two components, and then transferred to a second working position. For this step, the mould is opened, and the necessary change in position is completed by a rotary motion of 180°. After the mould is closed, the pre-moulded part is located in the second position for final injection with the third component.
Simultaneous to this second step, the next pre-moulded part is already being created in the first mould cavity. During the next opening of the mould, the mould cavities are turned back by an alternating rotary motion. The finished part is now demoulded from the second cavity, while a new pre-moulded part is placed into position from the first cavity.

In three-station manufacturing, on the other hand, the pre-moulded part from the first station receives new components at two additional stations to form the final moulded part. Rotary motions of 120° in the same direction are performed between the individual stations for each step.
