SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2018 – MACHINERY
HRSFlow is demonstrating applications of its Flexflow technology of servo-electric driven valve gate hot runner solutions
units with a tight fitting tolerance for the centering of two mould halves in limited spaces. A new generation of control units supplements
Hasco’s product portfolio serving hot runners. A touchscreen interface enables immediate opera- tion without instructions or previous knowledge, and supports the user at all navigation levels. Another new product is a screw-in vario shot nozzle, which allows ready-to-assemble systems to be designed and manufactured according to the customers’ requirements. �

Hot runner technology group HRSflow is showing the use of its Flexflow servo-electric driven valve gate technology in the moulding of complex, high-quality parts. It will be showing an in-mould graining application in cooperation with tool specialist GK Concept and injection moulding ma- chine manufacturer Yizumi, using the Flexflow One technology. A Flexflow five-nozzle hot runner system is being used for the production of an automotive spoiler also shown on the company’s stand. Other demon- strations include rapid heating and cooling, foaming and overmoulding organosheet-based composites. �

Kistler Group is unveiling two modular systems for injection moulders in the context of Industry 4.0. Version 3.0 of Kistler’s ComoNeo system, which analyses cavity pressure during injection moulding, offers users a total of seven different functions from which they can assemble the combination that best suits their requirements for assistance, monitoring, control and prediction. Due to the system’s modular

structure, users can tailor the support they receive to their level of know-how, says Kistler. It has also integrated the Stasa QC software into ComoNeo specifically for medical moulders and other sectors where safety is critical. On the basis of measured values and statistical analyses, this software calcu- lates the quality of manufactured parts in advance, with evaluations inside the tolerance limits. The second modular system is Kistler’s MES which has various modules that can be combined with each other to achieve maximum transparency in networked injection moulding production. Users can choose either the entry-level or the full version and then decide on the scope and depth of their solution. As well as machine and operation data acquisition, users can choose from function modules such as production planning, mainte- nance management and ERR-Link. �

At Fakuma, KraussMaffei says it will show how far manufacturing integration can go in a demonstra- tion using the all-electric PX 320-2000 machine performing IMD and IML simultaneously. The machine is producing a 10-inch screen with integrated electronics, black decorative frame and scratch-proof coating. In addition to the IMD film for the electronic display, another film runs through the mould and provides a second cavity with another decor. Krauss- Maffei says this is possible due to the IMD SI DUO film feed from Leonhard Kurz, which is the first worldwide to be able to position two single-image decors independently of
each other with a hundredth of a millimetre
accuracy. The second decor shows dead-front surface aesthetics, which comes to life only with backlighting and then reveals operating symbols, for example. The new PX 320 and PX 25 machines at Fakuma
extend the clamping force range at both ends. A PX 25-55 SilcoSet machine is being shown with a special micro-plasticising unit for LSR. It is shown making an LSR sealing ring with an intricate undercut and a weight of only 0.15 g in a cycle time of 14 s. A new plasticizing process was developed with a 12 mm screw and complement- ed with a spring-loaded check valve. Below the cantilever clamping unit there is space for the necessary vacuum pump or similar peripherals. �
