Molding Exhibits Show Off Cell Integration with Multiple Processes & Operations

摘要

If you haven't been to a major international plastics show recently, NPE2015 may look quite different from what you remember. Injection molding exhibits no longer focus on machines in isolation, but as part of automated cells integrating multiple processes and/or performing post-molding operations like decorating, assembly, and quality inspection. And machine builders are going all out nowadays to relate more closely to visitors' molding businesses by showing off their capabilities in target market sectors like packaging, automotive, medical, and electronics. Instead of showing a machine and letting you figure out what you might do with it, exhibitors are trying to anticipate what you want to accomplish and presenting live demonstrations of how it can be done.
