At Fakuma 2024, Arburg is presenting the latest addition to its electric injection moulding machine lineup, the Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric, featuring a clamping force of 2,800 kN.

When Commercial Tool & Die needed new milling capacity for very large plastic injection moulds, the company turned once again to Zimmermann. The result is a trio of custom-built machines that combine flexible multi-axis machining with robust construction, as shown in the new video case study.

Oerlikon HRS Flow showcases breakthrough hot runner technologies at K 2025 — including live demos of Stargate, Glow and Flexflow systems for high-quality, efficient injection moulding.

After a successful pilot phase, Wago is scaling up its use of autonomous mobile robots in injection moulding. Four Soto robots from Jungheinrich will soon take over the fully automated transport of small load carriers, ensuring efficient three-shift operation, reducing manual workload, and increasing flexibility in confined production spaces.

Innovative, digital, and sustainable — Engel’s showcase at K 2025 proves that high-performance injection moulding can meet the demands of modern manufacturing. From AI-assisted process control to lightweight automotive parts and recyclable packaging solutions, the company presents live demonstrations tailored to key industries such as automotive, medical, technical moulding and packaging.

Europlaz has expanded its ISO Class 7 cleanroom facilities in Essex with a 200,000 investment pound, adding space for new injection moulding machines and assembly lines. The upgrade supports a major medical device contract with Olympus and forms part of a broader 4 million pound programme to scale cleanroom manufacturing for Class I–III devices.

To make plastic production more efficient and sustainable, Fraunhofer IST has developed thin-film sensors that monitor pressure and temperature directly in the mould. Combined with machine learning, the system enables real-time quality control and process optimisation.

With a 2.5 million euro investment in all-electric multi-component moulding technology, HSK reaffirms its leadership in sustainable polymer processing. Supported by nearly 150 machines from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, the company is expanding globally, and setting new standards for energy-efficient, high-precision manufacturing in Germany and Canada.

At K 2025, Arburg will celebrate the world premiere of its new Allrounder 475 V – a compact vertical machine with 1,000 kN clamping force, high energy efficiency and flexible automation options. Designed for sectors from e-mobility to medical technology, it demonstrates how sustainable, high-quality parts can be produced efficiently in turnkey systems.

For manufacturers machining castings, dies, moulds and fixtures in confined areas, Roemheld has expanded its workholding portfolio with a compact hydraulic clamp. The new system is designed to deliver strong, repeatable clamping in narrow grooves, recesses and pockets, while helping to cut set-up time and cost.
