Plastics processing at its best: Tacchificio Monti makes heels for Prada, Dior and Versace, among others.

Admittedly, ABS is not the first thing that comes to mind when you see this: the material used to make the heels provides a stable grip.

Gindumac Receives Big Order from India

The Wilhelm Böllhoff GmbH & Co. KG employs Arburg’s ALS host computer system as a uniform MES at locations all over the world. Not only all their injection molding machines are networked with information technology via ALS, but hundreds of machines and turnkey systems for metalworking and assembly, as well. Some 3000 injection molds are also managed. This generates transparency in everything from order planning and process optimization to maintenance.

The process status of every machine can be viewed via the ALS terminal

The injection molding system supplier Husky is launching its HyPET HPP5e. This is a refinement of the proven HPP platform, which, as a fully integrated system for the manufacture of PET preforms, is intended to obtain greater energy savings, system reliability, preform quality and user friendliness than its predecessor.

The HyPET HPP5e is claimed to achieve up to 7 % energy saving compared to the predecessor model

Technical Excellence thanks  to Digital Assistance

The company Leonhard Kurz is a specialist in the development and production of decorative and functional coatings for plastics applications, which are applied by means of carrier foils during injection molding. Essential objectives of the company are technology and process development as well as the optimization of the 3D foil forming around corners and the contours of the plastic parts. For this purpose, Kurz operates an extensive injection molding technology center. New in the machinery: two production cells based on servo-hydraulic injection molding machines from Wittmann Battenfeld.

Decorative and functional coatings, such as those developed and produced at Leonhard Kurz in Nuremberg/Fürth, Germany, enable efficient implementation of new design concepts, shown here, for example on a car door panel with variable and dimmable backlighting
