BOY again prepares a strong presence at K 2022

Digitalisation, the circular economy and climate protection are the leading topics of the internationally oriented K 2022, taking  place in Düsseldorf this October. The nine injection moulding machines at the BOY booth will be supplemented by further four  machines at the booths of partner companies. As usual – the German machine builder will take the opportunity again and  address the leading topics with two fair premiers and with other interesting applications.

Elevating efficiency of automotive production line

The French multinational Saint-Gobain, dedicated to the manufacture of glazing for multiple industrial sectors, has found 3D  printing technology developed by the Barcelona-based multinational BCN3D to be the perfect ally for increasing the efficiency  of its manufacturing processes. BCN3D’s 3D printers and various innovative technological solutions now enable Saint-Gobain  engineers at its plant in L’Arboç, Barcelona, to significantly improve efficiency in the manufacturing processes of parts and  components for its automotive customers.

NETSTAL presents new PET-LINE 3000 at drinktec

At drinktec, NETSTAL will present the new PET-LINE with side entry to the international trade audience for the first time as part  of an exhibition appearance. The market launch of the new series already took place in the fall of 2020 with models of 4000 kN  clamping force or molds with up to 128 cavities. Now NETSTAL has expanded the portfolio to include variants with 3000 kN  and is bringing a PET-LINE 3000-4000 to its booth. The system is suitable for molds with up to 96 cavities and impresses with  its particularly fast lock-to-lock time of just 1.9 seconds.

The DKT 2022 in Nuremberg was very successful for DESMA!

The expectations as to whether the first real trade show in this industry sector in Germany would be able to build on the  successes of 2018 were definitely an exciting question. After more than 2 years of pandemic, it was also not clear to what  extent the willingness to travel exists and whether the strong focus on virtual formats in the last 2 years will not have a negative  impact on the number of visitors? However, DESMA was able to determine that there is an unbroken interest in “real”  trade fairs.

Husky launches new control algorithm that elevates performance of Altanium® mold controller

Husky Technologies™, a pioneering technology provider enabling the delivery of essential needs to the global community, today  announced the launch of a second-generation control algorithm for its line of Altanium® mold controllers. The Advanced  Reasoning Technology (ART 2.0) software delivers greater speed, accuracy, precision, and repeatability compared to today’s  existing temperature control systems. ART 2.0 incorporates advanced autotuning and heatup strategies which deliver higher  out-of-the-box performance.

New large-scale application for plastics from LANXESS in electric vehicles

The technical plastics polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 are admittedly materials with very similar properties, yet they are  frequently in competition to one another. Recently, the tense pricing situation for polyamide 66 and its temporarily limited  availability have resulted in it often being replaced with polyamide 6 even in its traditional applications. However, new  developments of components that have traditionally been made from polyamide 66 are now increasingly being directly  implemented in polyamide 6.
