years, but they have previously only been available in Japan, China and the US. The GL30, which will be demonstrated at K2019, is a 30-tonne hybrid machine suited to the produc- tion of very small, high-precision parts for the medical sector. Unlike the traditional reciprocating screw and check valve, Sodick machines use the V-Line injection method to accurately prepare the shot by weight, filling the component in a precise and repeatable process. Sodick says this results in more accurate filling and pressurisation of the component. Accuracy is further enhanced by the linear motor drive system which governs the injection plunger, which travels at high speed to reduce the viscosity of the melt. The GL30 is capable of linear injection speeds in
excess of 1,300 mm/s and can achieve and maintain this speed within a 5mm shot size whilst accelerating and decelerating within 1mm of plunger movement. �

Stork IMM and Brink are combining their exper- tise at K2019 in two automated IML packaging demonstrations. A 7,000 kN clamp force, Stork Food-Line hybrid machine with an electric clamp is being shown with side-entry Brink IML and take-out automation. The cell will highlight high-speed performance in producing a 250 g food container in an 8-cavity mould. In the second demonstration, a fully electric 4,400 kN Stork Food-Line machine is shown with a side-entry Brink IML and take-out automation cell. This system is producing a 1.5l cheese container in a 2-cavity mould with reduced energy consumption. �

Sumitomo (SHI) Demag says it will “unveil its fastest, most energy efficient, sustainable, data-driven integrated machine line-up at K2019”. Spotlighting the digital- ised production trend, a connected

cell will feature the latest remote diagnostics, online support, document tracking and spare part ordering. Visitors to the company’s stand will be able to use connected terminals to see how its myConnect software will enhance customer service and help enable future data-driven efficiency improvements. In September, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag started selling its new all-electric IntElect Multi machine for multi-component moulding. The series is initially available in three machine sizes - 100, 130 and 180 tonnes. For moulders who want the option of transforming their existing moulding system into a multi-component machine, it is launching the eMultiPlug at K2019. This “plug-in” unit can be retrofitted to an existing machine, making multi- component injection more cost-efficient and feasible.
Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is bringing two energy- enhanced El-Exis SP machines to K2019, consum- ing up to 20% less energy than its predecessors. In automotive, the group will demonstrate a new “touchfoil” interactive decoration for a vehicle console on an IntElect 500 machine being unveiled at the show. The group will also demonstrate its technical LSR capability by moulding light guides for a matrix light on a special version of the IntElect 130. The IntElect S 180-tonne is another new machine being unveiled. It is targeted at mass manufactur- ers of medical plastic components and has been designed for narrow-tolerance applications requiring fast cycle times between 3s and 10s. �

Trexel says the first live demonstration in Europe of its MuCell P-Series for micro-cellular foam in thin-wall packaging will happen during K2019. The company has adapted its MuCell gas dosing process to meet the demands of fast cycling thin-wall packaging. MuCell P-Series enables lower part weights, increased L/T, reduced clamp tonnage and lower injection pressures, says Trexel. The P-Series will be in operation on the stand of partner company BMB, where it will be used in the moulding of 500g margarine tubs. Partners in the in-mould labelling cell include StackTeck, Machines Pages, Verstraete and Borealis. Trexel will present on its stand an expanded range of the TecoCell line of advanced chemical foaming products, which it devel- oped to complement the
