Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., a group company of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), has completed the development and commenced worldwide marketing of the “D-LFT System,” a kneading/injection molding machine capable of forming high-strength long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) products from glass fibers and
Japanese injection molding machine builder Nissei Plastic Industrial is bringing six injection molding machines to NPE (at booth W1529) including its latest electric, hybrid, and vertical offerings to demonstrate it capabilities in delivering deliver technological solutions to daily challenges for “molding processes and high-value-added
The success of the Haitian Jupiter II servo-hydraulic two platen injection molding machine (the second generation of the Jupiter Series) has led to the introduction of new, smaller model sizes and new wide-platen options for North American molders. Previously available from 1,349 to 4,496
Negri Bossi is rolling out a Bi-Power injection moulding machine with 7,000 tonnes of clamping force. That is the largest of its two-platen machines, which start at 1,000 tonnes. The massive 7,000 tonner features a special twin-barrel injection unit and a co-injection nozzle. It
Machinery “connectedness”, new applications, technology upgrades and extensions to injection molding machinery ranges were the theme of this year’s Fakuma show in Germany. Wittmann Battenfeld unveiled a new line of servo-hydraulic machines, dubbed Smartpower, which it says completely recaptures the energy released in the
Mould base manufacturer Tekis said it has added a tool carrier robot to its custom machines and equipment manufacturing line. The investment follows the company’s recent investment in 5-axis machining. According to the Turkish manufacturer, the company will begin 5-axis machining by November with
Sumitomo Heavy Industries (Tokyo) adopted an interesting strategy at this year’s IPF near Tokyo. Rather than debuting a series of new machines, the injection press supplier decided to demonstrate just what’s possible with its existing line-up, in particular how clamping forces can be reduced through
Freiburg, Germany-based mold and automation systems maker Zahoransky Formenbau GmbH has developed a new technology which allows for assembling and cooling outside the mold, maximizing the time the mold is in use. “It’s all about saving cycle time,” says Michael Schmidt, managing director of
Machines didn’t get much smaller at IPF 2014 than the M4-3000 from Sodick. The three-tonne was on show molding components for mobile phones. Koichi Yokoyama, Deputy General Manager of Sodick’s Advanced Research Center said the machine is ideal for serving the mobile phone sector,
The number seven seems to be special for European plastics machinery makers at the moment — injection press giant Engel Holding GmbH said Oct. 15 that sales this year will likely go up 7 percent, the same increase that rival Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH projected
