Technology Showcase at Wittmann Battenfeld's 10th Anniversary Event

摘要

In June, over 1400 guests from 48 countries attended the two-day celebration of Wittmann's acquisition of Battenfeld to form Wittmann Battenfeld, a company with a unique portfolio ranging from injection molding machines and robots to chillers, TCU's, dryers, blenders, hopper loaders, and granulators. Held at the company's headquarters in Kottingbrunn, Austria, the event was an occasion to show off newly expanded and revamped machinery production facilities as well as a number of the company's newest developments and some still in the works. Among the latter was an overview of an ongoing research project into the "autonomous injection molding of the future," based on a machine that performs its own inline quality control and adjusts itself accordingly—all on a hands-off basis.
