SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2017


Right: Husky is showing its new Ultra SideGate Inline hot runner


and mould making, it says. Non-rotating ejector pins, flat ejector pins with two and four corner radii, adjuster plates for optimum pressure distribution and round, mechan- ical cycle counters also feature among the new products. For hot runner technology, Hasco is presenting a low-budget, user-friendly electronic control. In addition, the Vario Shot nozzle series is being completed for the trade fair, and the last nozzle size, Type 50, will be on show. Hasco says the new screw-in Vario Shot permits ready-to-mount systems designed and manufactured individually to customer specifications. New in the Hasco app is a cartridge heater calculator for the simple calculation of the individually required heating output. � www.hasco.com

Hot runner company HRSFlow first showed its servo driven Flexflow One needle valve systems for hot runner nozzles at K 2016. These have a simple driver module that replaces an otherwise necessary control unit. This module comes with a default setting that fully opens and closes the needle. Using an External Smart Interface that is connected for this purpose, needle stroke and velocity can be individually set for specific applica- tions, including multiple steps if required. Up to 24 valve pins per system can be individually pro- gramed using this ESI. Once these parameters have been saved in the driver module, the system is ready to produce high-quality moulded parts consistently without a control unit. A newly developed family of space-saving,


screwed-in hot runner nozzles has reduced the nozzle seat diameter from 33 mm to 28 mm over its entire length. They are optimised for producing small, delicate parts such as loudspeaker grilles and are also suitable for reverse gating from the


ejector side. Lengths range from 75mm to 450mm with internal diameters of 6, 8 and 10mm. HRSflow recently introduced Pressure Block clamping plates. These are positioned between the hot runner system and mould where, thanks to their low thermal conductivity, they ensure a more uniform temperature profile in the hot runner system and help to bring about a distinct increase in mould stiffness. They can be flexibly positioned without any negative impact on the temperature profile of the hot runner system. � www.hrsflow.com


New from Husky Injection Molding Systems at


Fakuma is its Ultra SideGate Inline hot runner technology. The new hot runner was designed for challenging applications with high-balance requirements


such as long, thin parts and can be used for part spacing as low as 18mm. Ultra SideGate Inline offers “exceptional gate


quality”, says Husky, leaving virtually no vestige on finished parts. By allowing for the use of a single- piece cavity in the design of the mould, the quality issues that often accompany split cavity designs are avoided, such as flash on finished parts that can occur if the cavities are misaligned. This is particu- larly critical in the medical industry where safety is paramount and sharp edges can be detrimental. Husky is also introducing the Delta5 and the


Matrix5 as new units in its family of Altanium mould controllers. In injection moulding machinery, Husky’s stand will show packaging applications for the personal, home care, and food and beverage industries. It will also show its new multi-layer co-injection technology for creating barrier packaging. � www.husky.co


The latest developments in injection moulding optical components will be jointly presented by three German research bodies: Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University, and the Fraunhofer Institutes for Production Technology (IPT) and for Laser Technol- ogy (ILT). The main topics will be injection-moulded and compression injection-moulded optics, continuously manufactured optical film, and innovative optical materials and applications. The partners will show the production of


micro-structured lenses made of LSR. Because of 28 INJECTION WORLD | October 2017 www.injectionworld.com
