Trelleborg Sealing Solutions acquires Aero-Plastics, a US-based expert in high-performance polymer components, to boost its aerospace offerings and strengthen its position in the growing industry.

Oerlikon HRS Flow introduces the new Eyegate HRS, an advanced end ring designed for the Multiflow HRS multi-cavity line. Engineered to deliver optimal gate quality and extended lifespan, this innovative solution enhances performance across a wide range of applications.

When it comes to demoulding complex undercuts, mould makers often use multi-level tools to clear elements that obstruct the demoulding direction. At Groth in Vlotho, mould makers rely on high-quality latch locks from the extensive range of their standard parts partner, Knarr, to drive such tooling solutions.

Engel and Cannon have entered a strategic partnership. The aim of this cooperation between two partners is to further develop innovative technologies for PUR flooding and enable industrial applications with even higher quality and efficiency.

Visitors can experience the future of lightweight construction with Engel’s cutting-edge injection moulding technologies at JEC World. Highlights include the live production of a fibre-reinforced, hollow bicycle handlebar for Canyon Bicycles, using fluidmelt and organomelt processes on a tie-bar-less Engel victory machine.

Oerlikon HRS Flow has introduced new external valve gate end rings for its Tp and Vp nozzle series, along with a Through The Cavity (TTC) end ring for Tp nozzles. These innovations offer increased wear resistance for processing reinforced thermoplastics and enable restarts at lower temperatures.

Designed specifically for technical polymers and electronic applications, Oerlikon HRS Flow’s new Tech Flow HRS line brings advanced solutions to hot runner technology. Demonstrated live at Fakuma 2024, Tech Flow HRS showcased its effectiveness in producing high-quality technical parts with superior consistency and durability.

A new partnership between Caracol and AES promises to transform Aerospace & Defense manufacturing, blending advanced robotic 3D printing with deep industry expertise to tackle complex projects like composite tooling and full-scale mockups.

3D pellet printers are emerging as a complementary technology to traditional injection moulding, utilizing standard pellets instead of filaments. This approach offers potential cost advantages in material use and improved process stability.

At Fakuma, FKUR will showcase its latest developments in sustainable plastics. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the benefits and applications of the company’s new bioplastic and recyclate compounds.
