SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2018 – MACHINERY
Below: Piovan is showing its Winenergy and Winfactory 4.0 supervision software
machine for the first time. The IMFlux technology, which provides real-time adjustment for mould and material changes, was developed by Procter & Gamble in 2013 and now operates as a wholly owned P&G subsidiary. The technology enables filling a mould at a lower, defined melt-pressure profile, allowing a variable filling rate that adapts automatically to the part geometry. Using IMFlux, moulders can increase productivity by up to 50% on existing machines, says Milacron. IMFlux is shown working on an Elektron EVO 155 machine in a cell including a Mold-Masters hot-runner system with servo-elec- tric valve actuators and a TempMaster SeVG + controller with integrated temperature and valve actuator controls. The Quantum 180, Milacron’s newest and most advanced toggle machine will also make its European debut at Fakuma. The new machine is designed to deliver higher productivity, reduced cost of ownership, enhanced performance and advanced technical specifications. Quantum comes equipped with Milacron’s Endura Touch control interface. In the Fakuma demonstration the machine will be integrated with a Mold-Masters E-Multi secondary injection unit, TempMaster M1 controller and an indexing rotary unit, producing a two-component squeegee. Milacron will also show new developments from its Mold-Masters, DME and Tiard mould businesses on its Fakuma stand. �

Netstal, the packaging injection moulding technol- ogy specialist within KraussMaffei Group, is placing the spotlight on its Elios high-speed hybrid machine range. At Fakuma, it will showcase the Elios 4500, the model with the smallest clamping force in the series, making 12 cm PP plant pots in a six-cavity mould from Glaroform. A Brink Automa- tion robot will remove and stack the finished pots. A cycle time of approximately 3 s is achieved. The flow path/wall thickness ratio is 331:1. The machine has high energy efficiency and
recuperates kinetic energy. The consumption of the trade fair exhibit is 0.59 kWh per kg of material, which translates to 9 W per pot. Netstal is also highlighting its AnalytiX mobile
production monitoring system, which allows users to monitor production via an app. Using intelligent indicators, trends and performance deviations of individual machines can be detected at a glance. All information is hosted in the secure Netstal cloud in Switzerland and is not accessible to third parties. User management and the granting of access rights is controlled entirely by the customer and can be set up flexibly via the new Netstal e-Service. �
