FAKUMA 2017 | SHOW PREVIEW
KraussMaffei says there has been strong demand for its all-electric PX machines from customers located in Germany, and also moulders in the US and China, since the launch of the series a year ago at K 2016. “In order to meet the high demand, KraussMaffei wants to double the production capacity of the PX series in the coming year,” the group says. PX will be at the forefront of KraussMaffei’s
Fakuma 2017 display. A PX 50-180 SilcoSet is making LSR Fresnel lenses, which are “virtually flaw- less”, the group says. The PX 50 system is high- precision, but also compact, providing space for demoulding and peripherals, as well as excellent accessibility. In the demonstration, an integrated robot demoulds the lenses, and in the next step, visual quality control is performed with regard to quality of magnification and flashing before the finished lenses are stored in magazines. In another demonstration, a PX 160-540 machine will mould flip-top closures with a diameter of 28mm. “The high output quantities in this area require especially short cycle times. Therefore, the PX 160 is equipped with speed options: faster
injection, faster ejection, increased torque and faster nozzle movement,” said Jochen Mitzler, Head of Strategic Product Management at KraussMaffei. A LRX 100 linear robot removes the closures from the mould and places them into an integrated automa- tion unit in which they are closed. The LRX 100 is part of a new generation of small linear robots from KraussMaffei, with a decentralised control cabinet concept and freestanding X-axis.
High quality surfaces on mouldings forms the
focus of a demonstration using inductive mould heat-balancing with a CX 200 machine. The inductive heating technology comes from Roctool’s HD Plastics business and enables surface effects to be achieved in the mould without additional
