SHI Demag presents a light touch for displays


Hall 15/D22 Sumitomo Demag will demonstrate a fully automated manufacturing cell for production of a 5-inch multi-touch display panel using functional PET foils from Poly-IC.


The panels are covered with


a PMMA foil using the in-mould labeling process while a narrow frame is applied at the same time using in-mould decoration in a piano black finish. All the processing takes place within an ISO Class 7 cleanroom environment, including the multiple steps necessary for finishing the display.


The system will be running


on a 210 tonne Systec machine equipped with a suspended industrial robot. The 25g part is produced on a 40s cycle, with label placement, laser trimming, and UV lacquer curing all carried out automati- cally within the moulding cycle. The company will also show its SL plasticising system, which is claimed to produce highly homogenous melts for use in technically demanding moulding applications such as optics. It uses a low feed plastificising screw without a compression zone, which is fed by an upstream dosing screw.


The optimum filling level is determined by the material and process parameters and the granulate is melted almost exclusively by cylinder heating, says the company. In comparison with


conventional plastification systems, the SL system is said to eliminate variation in melt viscosity. In combination with a switch-controlled non-return valve, the SL system is said to be particularly effective in production of precision- moulded parts or where a high demand is placed on product purity. ❙ www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu


show preview news in brief


Hall 13/B41 Windsor Technology will demonstrate two all-electric moulding machines from the JSW J-AD product line. A 140 tonne J140AD model will be producing an 80g hollow PP part that is assembled in the mould. The second exhibit runs on a 350 tonne J350AD and produces a 400g transparent hemispherical container in PP on a cycle time of 17s. www.windsor-gmbh.de


Hall 16/B47-3


Rubber injection machinery maker Maplan will demon- strate a new integrated production system for O-rings based on its MHF700/300 XL EditionS machine. The system combines the machine with a 4x54 cavity mould and 4-drop hot runner by Italian mould maker ORP Stampi. Each part weighs around 0.25g and the system produces 216 on each moulding cycle. www.maplan.at


BMB unveils new all-electric option Hall 13/A33


With 90% of its machine sales now claimed to be all-electric models, it is little surprise that all-electric moulding ma- chines dominate the stand of Italian machine maker BMB. The company’s high


performance all-electric packaging machine range now extends from 70 to 800 tonnes. Features include energy efficient KW toggle clamp, interconnected drives with

energy recovery, and standard power monitoring giving continuous output in simple kWh/kg format. At the show it will launch a


new all-electric option – eKW- 38PI/2200 – which combines a 380 tonne clamp with the 2200 size injection unit for the first time. It will be producing a 110g 5-litre pail on a Collomb Mecanique mould with IML by Star Automation. A second all-electric model – an


eKW45PI/5500 – will be producing 2.35g 1881-type closures on a 96-cavity Corvaglia mould on a sub-4s cycle.


The company will also show an eKW55PI/2200 hybrid model producing 590ml containers weighing 12.75g on a six cavity Fostag mould on a 3.7s cycle. All machine functions other than injection are electrically driven. ❙ www.bmb-spa.com


Hall 15/C06 At the core of the Ferromatik display at the K show will be its F-Series machines, which feature a modular construc- tion allowing configuration for all-electric, hydraulic or hybrid production. On the stand, an electric F200 will be producing thin wall rectangular lids on a 4-cavity IML mould from H Müeller on a cycle of 3.1s. A hybrid F350 will produce 33mm beverage closures weighing 2.6g on a 4.5s cycle using a 64-cavity mould by Corvaglia. www.ferromatik.com
