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

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.

Engel at Fakuma 2008

With a motto of "Energise your future" the Austrian manufacturer of injection moulding machines, Engel, is exhibiting at Fakuma Friedrichshafen from 14 to 18 October. Energy optimised, powerful machine designs are the focus of this year`s trade fair presentation: the highlight is the new Engel duo 500 pico - a compact variant of the tried-and-trusted Engel duo large scale machine series. Besides this Engel will be presenting three fully electric machines and the Engel e-victory hybrid machine.

Hybrid drive: Hydraulic injection moulding on the Allrounder 570 A

Hybrid drive: Hydraulic injection moulding on the Allrounder 570 A

Arburg wouldn`t be Arburg if it weren`t constantly thinking up new well thought-out ways of expanding the modular Allrounder range. One new addition relates to the movement axes on the largest electric model to date, the Allrounder 570 A with a clamping force of 2,000 kN. In addition to the largest, size 800, electric injection unit, a hydraulically actuated, accumulator driver injection axis is now available in conjunction with the size 1300 injection unit. This permits much higher injection performance, injection speed and dynamism.
