employs machine vision technology to help prevent risk of material contamination due to operator error. The Material Vision Proofing (MVP) system uses a motorised camera to confirm that the correct connection between material source and destination has been made before conveying commences. Other new products from the company include the ESE Series EarthSmart scalable central chillers, EarthSmart adiabatic cooling towers, and MicroWheel Desiccant dryers. DynaCon conveying systems developer Dynamic
Conveyor will show its recently introduced Vertical Z Conveyor design, which is intended to provide a compact solution where it is necessary to raise parts to a higher level. The company will also show its Variable Height Adjustment option, which is available on all straight, inclined or Z-style conveyors. Canadian company Mold Hotrunner Solutions
introduces its new Rheo-Pro Black Box actuators and second generation iVG internal valve gate nozzles at NPE. The company says the durable actuators and nozzles are designed for operation directly inside the mould at temperatures up to 450˚C without risk of seal wear or the need for cooling. The compact form factor also simplifies incorporation into the mould, especially for back-to-back stack arrangements. Nordson Corporation will launch its Xaloy Quantum barrier screw plasticising system, which is claimed to reduce screw recovery times by 10-15% compared to current high-performance systems. Aside from the barrier screw, the Quantum system uses a special poppet-style non-return valve with free-flow channels to provide fast shut-off and minimal material degradation. Liquid colour dosing company Riverdale Global will
demonstrate its new RGS Gravimetric Stand, which includes a self-calibrating loss-in-weight scale that continually reports to the dosing controller to maintain the target let-down ratio at all times. The company claims the RSG stand allows colour delivery tolerances to be held to within 0.1% and can save colorant use through tighter limit setting. For an injection moulding application, the company says it is only necessary to

enter the shot weight and let-down ratio into the controller to ensure accurate production. The Sepro America display in Orlando will include 10
of its latest robot designs extending from its S3 servo- driven sprue picker through to the 6X Visual robots, which combine a Staubli 6-axis articulated robot with Sepro’s Visual 3 control system. A key feature of the display will be Sepro’s 5X line, which combines the company’s proven 3-axis S-Series beam robot with a 2-axis Staubli servo wrist to handle the most complex part removal movements. Aside from the 10 robots on the Sepro booth, the company will have a further 10 units on operation at partner stands around the exhibition. Wittmann’s robot display includes a number of new additions to its Pro Series robots, including the W832 and W843. Features of the Pro series include increased axis stiffness, ambiLED indication of robot operation mode, high efficiency proDrive system, and use of the com- pany’s latest R8.3 Control. The new pneumatic sprue picker with Net 8 control system will also be on display.
