Cycle Separated into Individual Processes

The Bavarian machine manufacturer LWB Steinl, with the multicell, is presenting an unusual method for processing polymer molding compounds.

The Bavarian machine manufacturer LWB Steinl, with the multicell, is presenting an unusual method for processing polymer molding compounds. The new feature of this multi-station concept is the separation of the injection molding cycle into individual processes and the possibility of subsequently recombining them into a new needs-oriented sequence.

In the system presented, an injection molding machine is combined with a pool of exchangeable mold sets. These exchangeable molds are transferred by means of industrial robots cyclically between the injection molding machine, external heating or cooling stations and downstream demolding and secondary finishing stations, and back to the injection molding machine.

In particular in the case of molded parts with long cooling or heating times, machine capacity that is freed up by swapping out the molds into external heating or cooling stations can be used for additional injection cycles. With falling or fluctuating demanded quantities, the concept offers advantages, since individual exchangeable mold sets are taken out of circulation and the freed-up capacity can be filled by producing similar parts. The Multicell is modular in construction and can be flexibly adapted. It is available in combination with almost all vertical machines from LWB.

In the Multicell, the cycle steps are split up between multiple stations.
