The Switchover Problem and  its Consequences

Anyone seeking to replace a metal component by a plastic one, to reduce the number of component parts from eight to three and simultaneously cut both the weight and manufacturing costs needs to take great care to ensure that all specifications are met – especially if the component is used in a hot gearbox and is subject to high mechanical stress.

Replacing Metal in the Gearbox

Starting with the systematic design of manufacturing processes and the precise simulation of part manufacture, through smart tooling technology and sophisticated melt guidance, to efficient mold temperature control, numerous exhibitors have many innovations in the field of tooling technology on offer at K 2019.The current debates concerning marine pollution as well as anthropogenic climate change and its consequences seem to be having an effect at this world-leading trade show for plastics processing in Düsseldorf, Germany. A number of companies are noting the growing customer interest in sustainable, carbon-neutral and resource-efficient modes of production, and offering products and services intended to satisfy this interest.

The injection molding simulation becomes more comprehensive and precise, starting with the material data up to the prediction accuracy. As this year’s Moldflow User Meeting has shown, Autodesk Moldflow can link with more and more CAD programs, significantly increasing the benefits of predictive results.

Weld lines reduce the strength of injection molded parts – a problem that can hardly be avoided in product development. Therefore, an integrative calculation method was developed at IKV in Aachen, Germany, to predict the weld line strength of amorphous thermoplastics at an early stage. The method was successfully tested for polystyrene.
