Molds and More at the Messe

摘要

At press time prior to the big show,several suppliers of tools and hot-runner technologies offered Plastics Technology a sneak peek at their plans for the show.Here is what we found: Husky Injection Molding Systems will show its new NexPET preform mold,which it describes as a flexible mid-volume tool for shorter production runs and frequent changeovers.In hot runners and controllers,Husky's display will include Ultra Helix 250 T2 valve gates.Huslcy says these are designed to improve part quality by maintaining superior gate quality for millions of cycles for small parts with difficult-to-access gate locations.On the control side,Husky will display the latest family of its Altanium Mold Controllers.Husky says these provide highly accurate temperature management with integrated servo-motion and valve-gate controls.Huslcy will also introduce its new online spare-parts ordering portal,which will be available for a demonstration at the booth.Meusburger will use K to launch its entry into cavity-pressure measurement,adding these sensors to its standardized lines of products for temperature,mold-closing force,and end-position control.Two products-E 6740 and E 6750-are included in the launch,the former for direct measurement and the latter for indirect measurement.Meusburger notes that these are compatible with all piezoelectric pressure sensors and they are delivered with mounting accessories and connection cables available from stock with CAD data download from Meusburger's online shop.The E 6740 cavity-pressure sensor for direct measurement is inserted directly into the cavity,while the E 6750 cavity-pressure sensor for indirect measurement measures cavity pressure via a force sensor located outside the cavity.Cavity pressure is transmitted to the sensor via an ejector pin.
