the servo-hydraulic drive package for larger Allrounder models can reduce energy usage by up to 50%. One of the main features of the Boy stand (Hall A7,
Stand 7101) will be a Boy 90E moulding machine configured for two component moulding of a medical part. The second vertical injection unit on this machine is taken from Boy’s small XS machine. Offering a plasticising volume of up to 8cm3
and an injection
Arburg will demonstrate the Inkbot system which integrates moulding and digital printing
The long fibre direct injection moulding demonstra- tion uses technology developed with the SKZ German plastics centre at Würzburg. This is said to allow in-line feeding of materials containing long fibre reinforce- ments. Applicatons include production of a wide range of parts requiring high strength in thin wall sections. Arburg will also show the Inkbot system developed
together with FPT Robotik. This uses robotics to integrate digital printing into a fully automated injection moulding process. Arburg’s 20 machine display at Fakuma includes the
latest addition to its Alldrive all-electric machine range – the 250 tonne Allrounder 630A. The company will also show new energy saving options: the AES energy saving system package, which includes a variable speed pump and water cooled drive, is claimed to cut energy consump- tion by up to 20% on Allrounder Golden Edition models;
pressure of up to 3.128 bar, it is equipped with its own hydraulic drive and Procan control system in a stan- dalone wheeled cabinet. This means the second injection unit can be moved from one machine to another as required, says the company. Boy says it can also supply larger injection units. The 90E is the largest machine in the Boy family and uses the company’s energy efficient servomotor pump drive system, which is said to offer improved energy consumption, with better dynamics, faster speeds and lower noise levels. Austrian injection moulding machinery maker Engel (Hall A5, Stand 5204) will demonstrate its latest product quality tool – iQ weight control – which provides cycle-to-cycle monitoring and automatic process adjustment. Designed to integrate with the company’s CC200
control system, iQ weight control analyses the pressure profile across a range of screw positions in real time during the injection process and compares them with a reference cycle online. It uses this comparison to detect any changes in melt volume and viscosity, calculating and implementing a new set of process parameters to compensate. The company says the iQ weight control system has

already passed a number of practical tests and in the first trial applications has realised an improvement in process capability (Cpk) of up to 30%. The system will be demonstrated on a number of machines on the company’s Fakuma stand. Other Engel process innovations on show include
novel multi-component applications for the automotive and packaging industry, as well as a foamed-in-place sealing system developed in partnership with Sonderhoff. The major new addition on the Ferromatik
Milacron stand (Hall B3, Stand 3203) is the first multi-component model based on the company’s recently introduced modular F-Series machine line. The 160 tonne F160-2F machine will be equipped
with a second vertical injection unit and will be configured as a hybrid type – the modular design of the S-Series allows users to select from a range of hydraulic and electric drive options to suit specific requirements.
