In conventional injection moulding, undesirable, poorly flowing areas often occur in the hot runner due to roughness around the valve pin. This results in degradation reactions in the plastic melt and exceptionally long colour transitions. The new Shadowfree manifold concept from HASCO Hot Runner uses a revolutionary design to combat this problem. Uniform flushing around the needle The 3D-printed, screwed-on system effectively splits the material flow into streamlined channels to evenly flush around the needle and reunites them at the point where the valve pin enters the melt channel. Rigorous testing has shown that the system provides a rapid transition from black to white material in just 25 cycles, outperforming conventional valve gate systems by three to four times. In addition to the proven advantages of the Streamrunner, such as the elimination of dead spots, a particularly gentle material flow and thus a noticeable reduction in pressure losses, the Shadowfree technology now also offers a solution for extremely sensitive materials in terms of heat stability in combination with valve gate systems. With the additively manufactured Streamrunner®, HASCO started a new era in the world of hot runner technology. It was developed with state-of-the-art technologies for innovative future-oriented solutions. The compact and perfectly balanced Streamrunner ensures particularly gentle melt guidance in combination with excellent colour change characteristics. The leak-proof system is also particularly suitable for multi-cavity systems. Super-fast colour changes with valve gate systems The Streamrunner® Shadowfree is now well on its way to further revolutionising the manufacturing landscape. With up to 70% faster colour changes, the system enables material losses to be reduced and product quality to be increased.

Calculating the carbon footprint of injection moulded parts is an important basis for improving sustainability. Until now, determining the product carbon footprint (PCF) has often involved a great deal of effort and high costs. BARLOG Plastics has therefore developed a new calculation tool that makes it possible to estimate and optimise the PCF of plastic components at an early stage of development. Development engineers and sustainability officers can thus be supported both in product development and in rethinking existing plastic articles in terms of sustainability. The new PCF calculation tool is part of our existing "ECO-Consulting" service and offers a new resource for assessing and minimising thecarbon footprint of plastic products. By estimating the carbon footprint at an early stage with regard to material, production process (focus on plastic injection moulding) through to the transport of the product, this tool makes it possible to analyse and compare data bases for different product variants. With our new PCF tool, we are setting an important milestone in the direction of sustainable product development and offering our customers a data-based foundation for making their products more environmentally friendly. We are convinced that this tool will not only open the eyes of our customers to sustainable material alternatives, but will also accelerate the development process from the idea to the series production of individual components in the direction of more efficient and sustainable plastic products.

If components are gripped via a bore, the IBG inner bellows gripper can be used. Different sizes are available. The operating principle is pushing / pulling. The inner bellows grippers can be very easily integrated into the gripping system via the extension thread.

Inspection and maintenance of injection molding machines is part of our extensive range of services. To avoid unplanned machine downtime and the resulting high costs, it is important to carry out these services regularly. There is no way around it in order to extend the service life of the machine and ensure safety. How can we also help in this context? Very simple: procurement of spare parts. We have a large pool of reliable suppliers who can offer not only new parts but also reconditioned, used spare parts quickly and inexpensively.

With over 25 years of expertise in the production of individual colour masterbatches, GRAFE meets every challenge beyond the standard range.

A further LEGROM speciality is the processing of plastic components. Targeted integration of special subcontractors enables us to offer high-precision – but extremely cost-effective – labelling, welding and joining processes. Finishing of plastic components is either integrated into the molding process in this context, or incorporated as a separate process during assembly configuration in the logistics department. Our individual technologies: Laser marking Printing (tampon printing, screen printing) Hot stamping Painting Ultrasonic welding Configuration of complete assemblies Integration of third-party services Development of test systems with electronic components Continuous innovation and technical advances at LEGROM facilitate the joining of individual plastic components or configuration of complex assemblies.

The industrial version of the compact DFL Ventus Marker laser system has been specially designed for use in production lines in industrial environments. Its housing is protected against the ingress of dust and water splashing against it, and the versatility of this housing means that it can be installed with ease wherever needed. With a choice between a 19-inch built-in version and a tabletop version, this laser system is available in a range of power classes and beam qualities, depending on the application. The Business Fibre series offers users a choice of power output levels between 20 and 100 W.

Weiss produces sensor housings using the 2K process for a manufacturer of tire pressure monitoring systems. Stamped and bent parts are also integrated into the housing as transmitting antennas. They pass on the measurement data via radio. THE TASK The task was to design and manufacture a housing for the sensors housed in the tire. The specifications included a service life of five years and thus permanent protection of the sensitive measuring electronics, access to the pressure sensor and the integration of the antenna with which the measurement data is transmitted to the telematics unit. THE SOLUTION The production concept developed by Weiss begins not only with the plastic granules, but also with a delicate stamped and bent part. It serves as an antenna that sends the sensor signals to the telematics unit. It is automatically separated and placed by a robot in a 2K tool that is equipped with a turn-turn device. The 2K injection molding system first encapsulates the punched-bent part with a PBT, which the actual sensor housing is made of, and in the second process step with a soft TPE, which closes the assembly openings and forms a seal. After an automated in-line test, the housings are placed - again automatically - in the transport packaging. SPECIAL FEATURE Two automated in-line tests are part of the production process. One is to ensure that the hole that ensures air flow through the sensor is present and of sufficient size. The presence of the antenna in the sensor housing is also checked. The control concept is also unconventional: As a master, the robot determines the cycle of the injection molding machine, and the control allows both a start-up phase and continuous production in smaller quantities. The metal parts are then inserted into the tools by hand.
