RocTool, a leader in the design and development of technologies for the rapid moulding of composites and plastic injection, will present its latest technologies and be involved in a live demonstration with KraussMaffei at Fakuma 2015.
RocTool has once again proven that its high performance technologies offer real answers especially related to surface quality, control of temperature, energy consumption and fast
moulding in one single industrial stage directly removed from the mould.
The German market has seen continuous growth since 2010, providing the perfect platform for RocTool’s Variotherm Inductive Technology - which is providing the best Dynamic Heating Solution available today, offering solutions for high mould surface replication and part cost reduction/quality improvement.
The live demonstrations in partnership with KraussMaffei (Hall A7, Stands 7303 & 7304), will provide tangible evidence of this, explained Stefan Sonnhalter, Business Development Manager at RocTool GmbH.
During Fakuma, the produced parts will combine high-gloss effects and holographic textures coming from a technology unique to GF Machining Solutions. The mould is equipped with Incoe’s hot runner system, which ties in with Schöfer’s focus on mould making to ensure optimal quality surface and Oerlikon Balzers’ long-lasting, deeper, mirror polish effect, due to their BALITHERM PRIMEFORM treatment. With no need for additional film technology, RocTool proposes new design options for premium quality parts directly from the mould, therefore removing other finishing stages.
Moreover, with KraussMaffei, RocTool demonstrates the possibility to combine complex aesthetical demands and mass industrial applications by enabling a high level of replication of the mould surface, thanks to an efficient heating and cooling process.
RocTool Ready aims to simplify access to RocTool’s premium technologies, which are well established on the market. RocTool proposes a new simplified commercial offer, available to both large groups as well as SMEs.
"A 'plug and play' concept, which is more accessible within a package including study, license, material, installation and training," explained Stéphane Hersen, CEO of RocTool. Furthermore, RocTool has put an ecosystem in place including software and injection machine manufacturers, mould makers and resin, and composite material suppliers.
"With the full package now offered (engineering, equipment, installation, training, support and license) and local presence in the German market, has resulted in strong business growth and many partnerships with key players in the industry," Sonnhalter concluded.
