KraussMaffei’s CX injection moulding machine series (35 to 650 t) is a range of extremely versatile machines. Austrian plastics processor MKW recently installed a new CX machine for thermoset processing. The machine is the 100th thermoset machine produced as part of the CX series since KraussMaffei began the staged introduction of this new series, which has superseded the earlier C series.

Battenfeld Wittmann at Fakuma 2009: new injection mouldings series EcoPower

Energy and cost savings is the motto these days. With the first presentation of its new all-electric EcoPower machine series, Wittmann Battenfeld is right on target. From 13 -17 October, visitors to the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen will be able to experience this novelty first hand at the booth of the Wittmann group. In addition to this exhibition highlight, a high-speed packaging line and a multi-component application will be shown.

Dr Boy: automated over-moulding

Dr Boy: automated over-moulding

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.

Intelligent cycle time reduction

The cycle time reduction is without a doubt one of the most targeted productivity goals since the invention of the injection moulding machine.

New Xaloy nXheat barrel heating system

New Xaloy nXheat barrel heating system

Now there’s a better way to heat the barrel of injection molding machines. Xaloy nXheat induction barrel heating (patent pending) sharply cuts energy costs and improves temperature control for better quality and less scrap compared with conventional heater bands.

Engel improves operator ergonomics, thus boosting productivity

Engel improves operator ergonomics, thus boosting productivity

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.
