Ten years ago, the WITTMANN Group's integration of Battenfeld, for BATTENFELD Kunststofftechnik, was the beginning of the Phoenix Nirvana, and the company's complete machine series has since gained new development.
The machine product portfolio developed under the PowerSeries brand name has now become a market leader in energy efficiency.
Other important features of the PowerSeries series include top precision and repeatability for every injection, as well as compactness, flexibility and user-friendliness of the entire machine.
New VPower Vertical Injection Molding Machine
Wittmann Battenfeld will showcase its complete PowerSeries machine family, including the new VPower prototype, which is the company's vertical injection molding machine designed with the latest PowerSeries.
The VPower 160/750 injection molding machine on display at the show is equipped with a 1600mm diameter turntable and a servo-electric drive. Its features are: Significantly reduced floor space; Lower ergonomic working heights for the user The convenience of the large-sized servo-driven rotary table ensures that the rotation time is short; even after the test run, the injection unit can be easily converted from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction; equipped with a central pull rod, allowing the central media supply device to be installed from below , Or install a compact rotary distributor for the machine; The open design makes this machine ideal for integrating automation systems with embedded inserts and finished products.
EcoPower Xpress 500
Another new product is the 500t model of the high-speed EcoPower Xpress injection molding machine series, which is an EcoPower Xpress 500/3300+ injection molding machine.
The machine will be equipped with a 4-cavity mold supplied by Abate, Italy, and will use WITTMANN's In-mould Labeling (IML) technology to produce 2.8L barrels. The in-mold labeling (IML) system uses a W837 side-input robot. A high-speed device, which is fully integrated into the control system of the injection molding machine. The barrel is produced in a cycle time of 8.5s. The machine is equipped with WITTMANN BATTEN's CMS status monitoring system to ensure continuity of important parameters. monitor.
The new 2000mm big turntable
Will be displayed MacroPower 1300/5100H/750L COMBIMOULD injection molding machine, an interesting detail on it is a servo electric turntable with a diameter of 2000mm.
In this machine, a ventilation part for the automotive industry will be produced in a 1+1 hole mold.
During the celebration, visitors will also have the opportunity to see the largest injection molding machine currently manufactured in Kottingbrunn, Austria – a MacroPower 2000/12800H/350L COMBIMOULD injection molding machine. This machine is the two largest groups of machines in the MacroPower series. Extension type, it will be equipped with a new WX series robot - a WX173.
Full integration of WITTMANN 4.0 will be demonstrated through an EcoPower 90/350 injection molding machine. The robot and all peripherals connected to the machine will be integrated into the machine's UNILOG B8 control system. .
As a brand new demonstration, the spreadsheet will be used in the UNILOG B8 control system.
The spreadsheet is based on the selected mold database and includes all necessary equipment such as robots, mold temperature controllers, metering equipment, dryers and electronic flow controllers for production units integrated via WITTMANN 4.0 routers. Configuration.
With the 'Plug and Play' model, the production unit is ready to start immediately.
All data required for the quality management of injection molding machines and peripherals can be used for documentation via WITTMANN 4.0.
In addition, the WITTMANN 4.0 router also allows secure access to all modules of the production cell through a single IP address (single sign-on) for network service maintenance.
Wittmann Battenfeld will also demonstrate applications in medical technology, micro injection molding, MIM powder injection molding, CELLMOULD® structural foaming technology, and AIRMOULD® internal pressure technology.
In addition, there will be some novelties in the series of robots and peripherals from the WITTMANN Group.
