Stork IMM Stork IMM says it is expanding its presence at Fakuma, taking a much larger stand to have more space to receive guests. At Fakuma 2021, it will exhibit together with its partners at Brink Molds and Automation and will showcase “extreme” thin wall technology on a Stork IMM PotLine 3300-2150. The opening and closing movement of the machine is electrically driven by means of a gear rack transmission. �

Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Among the highlights at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag’s stand is an IntElect 130/520-450 machine, includ- ing an LSR package, showcasing state-of-the-art elastomer injection moulding integrated with the Servomix Z200 metering system from partner Nexus Elastomer Systems. For its inaugural presentation to the global trade audience, the LSR exhibit will demonstrate the production of a freeform automotive axial seal. “16 cavities, burr-free, no conversion,” says Henrik Langwald, Director Automotive & Electronics. In an IMD demonstration, an IntElect 220/660-
1100, equipped with a special plasticising unit for processing crystal-clear multilayer PC, will show automated production of emblems for automotive exterior applications. Another fully automated and highly efficient production cell for technical medical parts is based around an IntElect S 100/460-250 with an automation system from Waldorf Technik, based on the German partner’s patented Vario Tip FSS system. “The uncompromis- ing design of this trade exhibit showcases the production of medical parts and caps for insulin syringes, on a 16-cavity mould in a total cycle time of around 6s,” says Anatol Sattel, Director Medical. In packaging, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag says an El-Exis SP 250 will prove its high-speed capabilities

manufacturing a cup application. “Opening and closing sides are the fastest on the market,” according to Arnaud Nomblot, Director Packaging. Another highlight is the launch of a series of permanent machine status condition monitoring systems. These reduce maintenance costs while maintaining reliability, and can be used to deter- mine the actual degree of wear and tear, enabling early detection and optimal maintenance planning towards the end of the service life of the injection moulding machine. �

Wittmann Battenfeld Wittmann Battenfeld says the main highlight at its Fakuma stand is a new product range, the SmartPlus servo-hydraulic machine range which it says is notable for its high level of cost and energy efficien- cy, as well as repeatability. The range uses proven technologies and carefully selected options, and offers short delivery times and an “excellent price- performance ratio”, says the company. A feature of the SmartPlus is the new B8X control system with system components developed in-house. From the fourth quarter of 2021 onwards, the machine is expected to be available in a first series with clamping forces ranging from 60 to 180 tonnes. At Fakuma, a hub-cap for lawn mowers made
from PP will be moulded on a SmartPlus 180/750. This machine is equipped with the HiQ Flow application software, the new CMS-Light condition monitoring system to monitor an extended range of service-relevant machine parameters and a Gravimax G14 gravimetric blender. Production of a medical hose clamp in an 8-cavity mould supplied by WILAmed, Germany, will be shown on an all-electric EcoPower 55/350 machine. The latest developments in the compa- ny’s Airmould internal gas pressure technology will be presented. Visitors to the stand can see more demonstrations remotely connecting to Wittmann’s technical labs in Kottingbrunn, Meinerzhagen and Nuremberg. �
