Krauss da algunas pistas para la KThe molding by water and the presentation of the series that will replace the MC focused days
Krauss gives some clues to the K
ROBOTIZATION
About 2,600 visitors of Germany and other countries approached Krauss-Maffei for the Sommerforum2003 in Munich. Munich systems House introduced the technique of machinery and facilities along with the injection moulding and the technique of reaction under the slogan "unity is strength". The event focused especially on the presentations of a total of 44 companies, external practical presentations and demonstrations with machinery.
The modern technology of process was presented to visitors at the SommerForum2003: at the bottom of the image an installation of water injection KM150-700 C2 + exhibited in collaboration with Schulman/PME
In the technique of injection moulding were 17 applications, from automotive to optical lenses in the procedure of printing by expansion. In addition to the integration of systems of linear handling controls, there was of the new technique injection of water (WIT by its German acronym) and the latest generation of cells for the manufacture of PET. It also highlighted a preparation technique of compounds BMI with filling of glass and wood, and the new option of the technique of rotating plates for 2 K applications.
At the Conference was also the first presentation of the new series MX (from 8,000 to 54,000 kN clamping force), that it will become after the fall of 2003 the successor to the successful series MC.
Through a combination of the technique of honeycomb and LFI (Long Fibre Injection, injection of long-fiber) were built ledges slide rear characterized by their light weight and high rigidity
Automotive applications
For the first time since the incorporation of EMB, Krauss-Maffei reaction Technology Division showed the full range of machines for dosing and mixing for PU industry heads. Demonstrations of the inner and outer areas of the car were carried out in a total of five facilities. Through a combination of the technique of honeycomb and LFI (Long Fibre Injection, injection of long-fiber) were built ledges slide rear characterized by their light weight and high rigidity. Another important aspect was the presentation of a R-RIM installation for the production of external parts for automobiles. To this end were added to the PUR minerals and carbon fibers that have resulted in excellent surface with extraordinary mechanical values.
In the CCM (with transparent polyurethane moulding technique) facility the company in Munich showed a high level of development for the manufacture of pieces of ornament for the Interior of the car, as well as for other areas of application. Krauss-Maffei supplied for years facilities of slush molding for the production of films. As an alternative, and on the occasion of the SommerForum, was a facility for the manufacture of molded films. Both the haptic and the accuracy of the profiles give this process a high interest for the future. Finally, the newly created technical spray of PUR (eg. for mats of fiber and nonwoven sandwich material) completed the program of presentations for the automotive industry.
At the Conference was also the first presentation of the new series MX (from 8,000 to 54,000 kN clamping force), that it will become after the fall of 2003 the successor to the successful series MC
Other markets
In other three additional presentations, the Munich company showed his interest in the market that is not intended for the automotive industry. A key aspect in this regard are the activities of the subsidiary Italian Krauss-Maffei, which caters from year and a half the market for white markings and panels throughout the world. In short, with the support both a simple and affordable techniques and automated and more complex technique, the diversity of the modern processing of polyurethane was shown to visitors.
Applications and described new visitors to the Sommerforum provided some clues as to what will be the showcase of the K2004 Dusseldorf.
