KraussMaffei Group Mexico held an open house event on July 26 to familiarise local processors with the all-electric PX series, surface decoration with dynamic mould heating (DMH), pipe extrusion, pultrusion of profiles, and dosing of polyurethane.
Visitors saw KraussMaffei’s whole repertoire of plastics processing in one day, from injection moulding to reaction process machinery and extrusion. 200 guests joined the event in Querétaro, where Klaus Jell, General Manager of the KraussMaffei Group Mexico, said: “The day was a resounding success. Our customers found the mix of live demonstrations and specialist presentations to be very valuable, and we could sense their positive and motivating mood.”
In the Injection Molding area, the visitors experienced lots of technology for precision and manufacturing efficiency. The all-electric PX series from KraussMaffei celebrated its premiere in Mexico and immediately met with great interest because of its flexibility and modular design. For projects with complex surface design, the dynamic mould heating of the cooperation partner Roctool offered interesting perspectives, because this process can achieve exciting effects and seamless surface aesthetics. On an ELION 2200-1000, a classical Netstal application was demonstrated with cycle times of 4.5 seconds: Circular lids with a weight of 6.6 g of the material PRO-FAX SL872NW.The four-cavity mould was provided by the partner Stackteck. The demand for such projects with extremely short cycle times is currently growing in Mexico, so the In Mould Compression-Technology pursued by Netstal is also attractive. The new LRX small linear robot took over the time-saving handling.
