Krauss Maffei Injection exhibits at NPE 2009 in Chicago

Krauss-Maffei GmbH of Munich Germany will be exhibiting and demonstrating a number of injection moulding machines at NPE 2009 – The International Plastics Show, held in Chicago USA from June 22 – 26.

 Krauss Maffei will be on booth S36000, near the entrance to the south hall.

The systems on display include:-

• An all-electric AX Injection moulding machine with an integrated linear robot. It will produce ABS/PC battery covers in a 4 cavity mould with cycle times around 8s. A key feature of the machine is the fully enclosed safety housing including the robot operating zone. This solution enables a 25% space saving of the production area, compared to equivalent systems.

• A fast cycling C3 hybrid packaging machine will demonstrate the production of 2C Closures (PP and TPE) in a 16+ 16 cavity mould with 10s cycle time. This 2 platen machine is engineered to facilitate the use of large, heavy moulds. The C3 is suitable for running complex multi-component moulds with an integrated turntable.

• A 1000 ton clamp machine (MX1000-8100), for very large moulds will be producing PP containers in 28s cycle times. The MX machine, with a mechanical hydraulic 2 platen clamp, represents high speed and precision. The plasticizing unit guarantees top melt quality and parts are moved via the integrated LRX-S linear robot.
