Swiss quality in Mollet del Vallès (Barcelona)
The open days were carried out at a time when the direction of the Spanish subsidiary has changed. Sebastian Schaper assumes the direction of Netstal since last April, Jordi Lopez serves as director of sales since May and Luis Pia is the new technical director since October 2006.
Elion 1200, a fuel transfer of weight
Elion series is used for the manufacture of technical pieces of thin-walled packaging and telecommunications sector, where a saving in weight of the piece and the consumption of material is requiredfor medical applications and in clean room or precision of zero-tolerance parts, as in the electronics and automotive sectors.
It integrates a unique closing unit. The closure of the mold has a closed-circuit lubrication and is based on a system of knee of 5 points. The mobile plate rests on high-precision linear guides that ensure high repeatability. The block of closing of the mold has an extremely compact design and is available for two different mold thickness ranges.
One of the companies that participated in the open days was Wittmann, company which held its 30th anniversary in 2006. This manufacturer of robots and peripheral equipment for the plastics industry unveiled its high speed UHS W.721 robot. "Now it's the fastest robot we can find on the market", commented Antonio a. Torné, commercial director of the company. The manufacturer of robots of Austrian origin has made a strong commitment by new technologies. Newly opened its new Office in the area of the Levant, the Barcelona town of La Pobla de Claramunt facilities were also in the process of enlargement. "We are expanding the Department's projects to support the market, which currently requires new technologies and services". The new facilities will also enable a greater number of units, expand the size of the products and give a greater service to their customers.
One of the emerging technologies referred to in the commercial director of the company and intended to enhance is precisely the labelling within the mold, IML. "It's a technology that is being incorporated very quickly in the market for the decoration of all kinds of moulds for different sectors: packaging, Brown line, to the automóvil…". To such an extent is interesting for Wittmann labelling technique in mold not only develops high-speed technology that has recently acquired an important French moldista, the development of their projects of IML, where the mold is a fundamental part of the implementation of this technological movement. "In the near future we will see how this technology will be developed greatly and we want to be prepared, drawing on our synergies," adds a. Torné.
In this context, in which the market of automation and the peripheral equipment experience dynamic development by its ability to reduce costs, we asked the representative of the company waiting for the client when it comes to a robot: "reliability and something that lately especially, the service is valued." "We advise our clients and also to offer a full range of peripherals, such as temperature, dryers and granulators, among others, drivers provide solutions tailored to each customer."
Also, the Elion has an attractive and perfect design for industrial application. Its compact forms make it a high-performance fuel transfer that take up minimal space. Its small size facilitates its handling and increase the profitability of production.
The closure of the mold has a large number of innovative features and is based on a system of knee of 5 points. The movement of the knee is made using a servo motor with reducer, which can achieve speeds exceeding 1.5 m/s. This allows fast and highly dynamic movements of process with minimum cycle in vacuum times.
The patented injection shaft is powered by a servo motor. The transmission is carried out through a rack of double teeth and is integrated in the same casing as the dosage drive.
The range is made up models 500, 800, 1200 to 1750.
