taken advantage of our gear design approach, as our ability to look at the whole system, not just the gear, was invaluable. We are also working on numerous other programmes with global OEMs in other geographies, including the US.” At the beginning of this year, Victrex said it had invested in what it describes as “an innovative and differentiated tooling design and processing technology” called PtFS (Production to Functional Specification). Developed by UK-based Surface Generation, it uses patented hardware and proprietary software to, in Victrex’s words, “actively manage multiple part areas during processing and drive reductions in the energy consumption, injection processing pressures and cycle times”. Victrex says the technology could enable customers access to produce more complex parts that may have limitations from traditional tooling designs used in injection or compression moulding due to heating and cooling profiles. Jakob Sigurdsson, CEO at Victrex says: “We believe that the advantages of PtFS processing, where crucial controls can be applied to tempera- ture levels in real time in the tool, could be a major advancement for our parts programmes, such as
medical or automotive gears and potentially in aerospace composite solutions. “ Solvay Specialty Polymers, which has a host of
HTPs in its portfolio, will present another new PEEK of its own at K 2019 (it already has several grades in its KetaSpire family). No details were available at the time of writing, other than Solvay describing the new product as “an industry first.”
