From April 24-27, 2018, WITTMANN BATTENFELD (booth: 4.1J71) will show visitors from the plastics industry the latest in injection molding technology at Chinaplas Asia, Asia's largest plastics industry event in Shanghai.
Asia is one of the most important markets for the Weimar Group.In addition to its own marketing team in China, the Weimar Group also owns a localized production facility that has been operating in the Asian market for more than 10 years and is located in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, The company mainly manufactures manipulators, mold temperature machines, feeders and shredders.
At this year's Chinaplas show in Shanghai, WITTMANN BATTENFELD will present two injection molding machines from the PowerSeries line, including a SmartPower series of servo-hydraulic injection molding machines and a MicroPower COMBIMOULD injection molding machine. The new UNILOG B8 control system running under Windows® 10 IoT offers a host of additional features and greater operational convenience compared to previous versions.
On a MicroPower family of two-component injection molding machines MicroPower 15 / 10H / 10H, designed for injection molded miniature components, a sensor assembly for medical gauges will be placed in a 4-cavity mold (manufactured by Wittner, Austria ), A very thin spherical membrane molded from TPE for the purpose of detecting specific pressures inside a measuring device that is to be processed in a clean room environment, which is defined by the interior of the machine Lost Box. A W8VS4 SCARA robot designed specifically for this machine removes the part and is placed on the conveyor after being tested by a camera system integrated in the machine.
The second machine on display was a SmartPower injection molding machine. The injection molding machine from the SmartPower range was standardized with high-efficiency servo-hydraulic drive and the existing deceleration was used for barrel heating via kinetic energy recovery system KERS To ensure the best possible energy efficiency. On a SmartPower 180/750 injection molding machine, a diffuser lens will be made from PC material in a single-cavity mold from SAFEPLAST in Austria. The mighty robotic arm made in China's local factory takes parts out and places them.

In addition, the Willman Group will demonstrate at the Chinaplas show the integration of manipulators and peripherals into the UNILOG B8 control system with an interactive display panel that will provide visitors with the opportunity to directly test the Live 4.0 solution in the field The advantages lie in meeting the challenges of Industry 4.0.

In addition to the robotics and peripherals integrated with the injection molding machine, WITTMANN BATTENFELD will also present a wider range of manipulators and peripherals as a standalone solution at the Chinaplas show, all of which are displayed at the Wittot Kunshan plant .
In the automation zone, robots for smaller injection molding machines, such as the W808, W818TS and PRIMUS 16S models, will be demonstrated, with shorter removal times, especially for injection molding machines with a maximum clamping force of 300 t. For such applications, the robots need to meet the requirements of small moving loads and high dynamics, so ribbed aluminum profiles and belt drives are fitted in the longitudinal axes of the robots, and the Willon acts as a ' Separate shaft 'and showcasing this technology in a scalable way on the W818TS robot.

In addition, the W828 and W838T robots, also manufactured entirely locally, will be demonstrated, with 12 kg and 15 kg load capacity respectively, and to some extent the W838T robot will be a highlight of the show, Because it is the first machine in the world to be manufactured by WITTMANN in the Pro-face European version of the machine design language, the robot's rigidity has been enhanced to make it a compact, high-performance This high performance is also reflected in the pneumatic, rotating C-axis, which is manufactured as standard and has twice the torque of the W828 robot.
In the mold temperature machine, the three entry-level price TEMPRO basic C series will be displayed, including a TEMPRO basic C90, a TEMPRO basic C140 and a TEMPRO basic C120M. The first two are the maximum temperature limit of 90 ℃ And 140 ℃ direct cooling, single-loop mold temperature machine, with a standard heating capacity of 9 kW TEMPRO basic C120M is a very compact size direct cooling device with a maximum heating capacity of 18 kW In addition, the powerful TEMPRO plus D The series of single-circuit models and dual-circuit models, the TEMPRO plus D180 and the TEMPRO plus D160, will also be demonstrated.Through the touch screen, the TEMPRO plus D can be operated easily and intuitively.Many options make it suitable for almost all of plastic processing It is possible to configure these devices with existing application requirements.
Willon will also be showcasing the flow controller at this year's Chinaplas trade show The new FLOWCON plus to be demonstrated is now available as a stand-alone model, a compact, fully automated media dispenser that can be placed next to the mold , So that the entire flow simultaneously distributed to a separate temperature control channel.Thus, you can reduce the overall pressure loss, and be able to adjust for each individual temperature control loop and monitor the flow or return temperature.Electrical installation of the new FLOWCON main box , Provides a separate model with graphics operating system, it is also equipped with a power connection.

In addition, the company will showcase two ATON segmented wheel dryers at Chinaplas, a wheeled molecular tank of multiple dryers filled with desiccant pellets, in conjunction with the innovative 3-save process, It ensures optimized use of energy and a continuous drying process with a consistent low dew point.An ATON to be demonstrated with an integrated dry air system is especially recommended for the production of transparent or optical components After drying, the material will not come into contact with the ambient air and moisture again, preventing the formation of inclusions in the final product.
Willon will also showcase a series of shredders at Chinaplas, including the MAS 2A shredder, the screen-borne Minor 2 and Junior 2 Compact shredders, and the two G-Max 12 machine shredders from the G-Max range And the powerful G-Max 33. Both of these grinders from the G-Max range are specifically designed for on-line reclamation of sprue produced by an injection molding machine with a maximum clamping force of 4000 kN, with their high efficiency and compact size Distinctively, all have mute shredders for maximum noise reduction.

In material handling, WITTMANN will demonstrate its expertise with a single feeder FEEDMAX S 3-net and a central material separator from the FEEDMAX B series, both of which provide maintenance-friendly, Machining reliable and easy to operate advantages.
The company will present the mixer as a GRAVIMAX G34 weighing mixer with a maximum output of 200 kg / h and a DOSIMAX bulk mixer. The GRAVIMAX mixer features a wear-resistant, high Precision stainless steel valve, the accuracy of which is guaranteed by RTLS technology (real-time weighing) .Through the entire measurement process, both weighing units play a role, the measurement can be accurate to grams, thus ensuring that each injection produced parts are Get consistently high quality.
