There’s a lot in favour of automated injection moulding: increased performance – greater flexibility – constant process stability – higher output of parts without loss of quality – integration of several functions in one operation. But which type of robot is the better choice – a linear robot or an industrial robot?
Meech’s web cleaner improves quality and saves money in plastic bag manufacture.
A drastic change has taken place in tool and mold making. In practically no other area are the traces of globalization as obvious as in this branch of industry.
Dr BOY insert moulding machines with vertically arranged clamping units offer many advantages for an automation of the production process. In particular, the easy and space-saving integration of peripheral equipment and the possibility for rapid changeover are decisive factors.
The cycle time reduction is without a doubt one of the most targeted productivity goals since the invention of the injection moulding machine.
New single-site catalyst boosts process performance of Lyondell Basell`s Metocene PP technology.
Erema introduced the new Vacurema Inline Strapping System - from PET bottle flake to high-grade PET strapping band in just one production line.
Injection moulding machines that you can talk to are still science fiction, but as human-machine interaction continues to grow closer, communication is becoming increasingly easy. Intuitive control logic plays an important role here, such as the next generation CC 200 machine control unit recently presented by Engel. Another important step to shortening the man-machine divide is that of extending control logic by optimising operator ergonomics.
Sidel is launching a complete range of solutions for the aseptic packaging of sensitive products distributed in plastic bottles at room temperature.
The specialist symposium on "PET Strapping" held jointly by Erema, the Austrian manufacturer of plastic recycling systems, and their Italian technology partner Techno Plastic s.r.l., on 27 and 28 October 2008 at Erema's headquarters in Ansfelden generated enormous interest.
Gammaflux Europe GmbH, Wiesbaden/Germany, has now integrated into its high-performance hot runner temperature control systems a sequential valve gate controller (SVGC).
Bayer MaterialScience pioneers polyurethane resin transfer molding for composites with added strength, eco-friendliness.
