FAKUMA 2018 – MACHINERY | SHOW PREVIEW
Aquatech specialises in industrial cooling and temperature control technology. Easytherm by Aquatech is a new tempera-
ture control line which has integrated OPC-UA protocol and a range of versatile units allowing smart energy management. Another solution from Aquatech is Flexcool, a system which enables efficiency and flexibility of application, whose core is the thermochiller DigitempEvo. Piovan will show its Winenergy and Winfactory 4.0 supervision software which will be featured on touchscreens. Winenergy is the energy use monitoring and analysis system comprising proprietary software that is connected to a series of measuring devices – which acquire data about a variety of physical parameters including power, electricity, thermal energy and temperature. It can be installed on its own or in combination with Winfactory 4.0, to maximise system control and efficiency. The company is also showing the model EL20 of the Easylink+ materials handling line, which will be in operation with the Modula series auto-adaptive dryer and the Pureflo filterless granule receivers. For the first time at Fakuma, Piovan will show the Quantum E gravimetric batch blender with continu- ous extrusion control. �

Sepro Group is showing a total of 22 robots at Fakuma, with eight operating on its own stand and the others on the stands of injection-moulding machine manufacturers. On the Sepro stand partner companies will have machines fitted with the French company’s robots. A 180 t Sumitomo (SHI) Demag machine will be equipped with a new high-speed 3-axis robot developed by Sepro for the injection moulding machine maker. A Success 5 robot, the smallest unit that Sepro makes, will be operating (also with an SDR label) on a 100 t Sumitomo (SHI) Demag machine. And a 60 t Haitian machine will be equipped with a Sepro 5X 15. The premium 5X robot family combines the versatility of Sepro’s 3-axis Cartesian platform with the precision of a 2-axis Stäubli wrist. One section of the Sepro stand is dedicated to the company’s Open 4.0 approach to integration in the ‘Factory of the Future.’ Visitors can get hands- on experience with the Visual control platform, which Sepro says is easy-to-use and which makes it possible to integrate robot controls with those of the IMM. �

Sumitomo (SHI) Demag says it is taking a “step ahead” with the launch of the compact high-speed version of the IntElect S at Fakuma. “Our in-house drive technology has advanced to a level that delivers not only fast cycle times and unparalleled process stability but also guarantees maximum energy efficiency,” says CEO Gerd Liebig. IntElect S machines are available with clamping forces between 500 kN and 1,800 kN and with injection speeds between 350 and 500 mm/s. They are designed for high-speed applications with cycle times between 3 and 10 s. At the show, an IntElect S 130/520-450 machine, with a package of options specially developed for medical engineering requirements, will be producing pipettes in a 32-cavity mould. In the packaging sector, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is demonstrating an El-Exis SP 200 machine with a high-speed IML application. Highlighting capabili- ties using complex packaging processes, the machine is producing IML decorated food cups in a four-cavity mould.
IMD is being demonstrated with another
machine, a Systec Servo 280/630-1450 machine, in the automotive sector. Henrik Langwald, Director Automotive Business Development at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, said: “Together with our partner Leonhard Kurz, we will present an automotive application: a door sill with a new day/night design is initially decorated by IMD and then covered with functional foil for touch functionality.” The Systec Servo is also equipped with downstream systems supplied by Piovan. �

Trexel, which is best known for its Mucell physical foam injection moulding technology, will be promoting its recently-developed TecoCell chemical foaming system. The company claims its patented TecoCell chemistry is superior to current foaming agents. The system uses CaCO3 nanopar- ticles measuring less than 0.08 microns to create a highly uniform and evenly distributed cell structure.
