processing steps or visible bonding seams and with less distortion. The temperature control units can be directly controlled via the Allrounder controls, which increases convenience during production. A high-gloss light panel for vehicle interiors was
produced in a cycle time of 60 s on an electrical Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric equipped with a single mould and Multilift Select robotic system. The material used was PC/ABS Romiloy 1035. The dynamic mould temperature control was carried out via a hot/cold water temperature control unit, which was integrated into the machine’s sequence control. Engel is demonstrating intelligent labelling technology at Fakuma 2021. The interactive labels from MCC Verstraete are used for the production of margarine tubs. The labels are based on technol- ogy by Digimarc and can be scanned with any smartphone camera, much like a QR code. The main advantage of these is that they extend invisibly over the entire label surface. The camera can scan any point and the codes do not interfere with the packaging design. From production through retail and recycling, the interactive labels offer added value. Consumers can discover the details of the ingredients and manufacture for both
the product and the packaging while shopping. When the packaging has reached the end of its useful life, the label provides information on the recycling process. Where the containers and labels are made of the same material, interactive IML packaging becomes fully recyclable. At the Fakuma show, Engel is using an E-speed 420/90 injection moulding machine (which is making its preniere at the show) with integrated IML to produce the ready-to-use margarine tubs from PP in a fully automated injection compression
