Here, visitors can injection mold new toys and useful helpers from old bottle caps in a "Do It Yourself" manner.
Outside the trade show, the "RecyclingDay" project serves to ...more
Electromobility & high-voltage applications – testing high-tech plastics safely up to 950 volts
Plastics are increasingly used as insulators in high-voltage applications, such as electromobility.
For testing the tracking resistance (CTI) value, the recommended voltage according to DIN EN 60112 up to 600 V is specified. Problem: This value is often insufficient for the intended ...more
Digitalization in injection molding - artificial intelligence optimizes color metering
KUZ is presenting an AI-supported system for online metering of liquid colors in the injection molding process.
With the automated process, the effort for coloring molded parts during injection molding can be greatly reduced and a color consistency of the products can be realized even ...more
Miniaturization suitable for large-scale production – linking two worlds
Precise and at the same time large-scale micro injection molding on conventional machines is possible thanks to the new "Scale-Mi" technology.
The solution: The plasticizing unit of a small conventional injection molding machine feeds a melt distributor in a mold plate as a metering ...more
