Temperature control is key to the efficiency of injection moulding and die casting processes. That is why Nonnenmann, a company specialised in temperature control solutions for plastic injection moulding, has introduced the HeatIso Flex (HIF) hose for efficient temperature control.

As a market leader in mould, die, and jigs and fixtures construction, Meusburger focuses on selecting high-quality material and digital solutions to best support its customers. This is why it is always an advantage to cooperate with like-minded partners such as Engel.

Austrian injection moulding machine manufacturer Engel has set a new record with two injection moulding machines delivered to the USA. With a clamping force of 8,000 tons each, they are the largest machines ever built at the St. Valentin plant in Austria.

Among NSK’s focus products on Booth C42 in Hall 7 at EMO Hannover 2023 will be the latest linear guides. These linear guides offer the speed and rigidity necessary to meet demanding cycle time and accuracy requirements in machining operations.

From 13 to 16 June, Messe Stuttgart will once again be staging the Moulding Expo. With almost 400 exhibitors, the international trade fair offers the top manufacturers all about innovative processes and services in the field of tool, model and mould making. Speedpart from Hasloch/Main will also be there and will be presenting its innovative mould making process complemented by 3D printing.

In micro-injection moulding, the size of the production is increasing as we move forward in time and now often runs into millions. Scientists at the Kunststoff-Zentrum (Plastics Centre) in Leipzig/Germany (KUZ), together with Hasco, developed a technology for economical production on conventional injection moulding machines.

Containers for today's logistics have to be stackable, feature IML barcodes, integrated RFIDs and, of course, the logo of the company that owns them. Switzerland's Georg Utz company has specialised in this application, and for this reason it has commissioned the country's largest injection moulding machine, a Krauss Maffei MX 4000-75000.

Hot runner expert Mastip Technology recently launched its LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) moulding solution aiming to cater to the needs of its customer base in automotive, medical and consumer electronics segments.

At Moulding Expo 2023, Oerlikon HRS Flow will focus on an extensive range of hot runners tailored to small shot weights and the new Xp nozzle series for use in thin-wall injection moulding. Both support the trend towards greater sustainability by helping to reduce energy consumption in plastics processing.

Modern medicine wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today without plastics. The technology expert in hot and cold runner technology Günther Hot Runner Technology can point to extensive expertise in medical technology, as the following examples demonstrate.
