Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Air Ducts under the Bonnet
..., produced by the 3D sequential Excell process, the turbocharger pipe in the CitroÍn Xantia produced by 3D robot manipulation - one of the first 3D blow mouldings made from polyamide 6 - and air ducts as used, for example, in the VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy [1]. Selective Flexibility through Sequential Coextrusion In order for air ducts installed in the engine compartment to absorb the considerable vibrations sometimes occurring there, they must have a high degree of flexibility. For this reason...

Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Compression Moulding of Long-fibre-reinforced Plastics
...l requirements are all the more stringent. These corrosion-free, highly complex mouldings serve as a mounting for the radiator, fan motor, headlamps, indicators, hydraulic units and various lines, depending on vehicle design. For the VW Sharan, Ford Galaxy and some Peugeot models, these components are produced from SMC, while for the VW Golf, Polo, Passat, Audi and Scoda, GMT front ends have been used with equal success. For noise-suppressing casings and underbody covers, SMC and GMT are being u...

Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Tailor-made Engineering in Increasing Perfection
...r ready wired systems and turnkey hot halves. Side-gated hot runners helped to reduce the runner volume and make for economical design, especially when, as in the „Galaxy“ DME system, they are fed by a balanced runner and do not produce any cold slug thanks to the protruding tips. Drop-to-drop distances down to 11mm are possible. The valve needles are activated from one plate. Although the plastics industry is heavily represented in the Asian region, the role played by the hot-runner technology ...

Kunststoffe international, 2007-09-19, Mastering Demanding Challenges
...ith the name SymaLite. It combines strength and light weight with noise reduction properties. By stretching several times in the course of production, a density as low as 0.2 g/cm2 can be achieved. In the Ford models S-Max and Galaxy, up to three rows of seats that fold flat make use of this material. These serve as a cover for the luggage compartment when necessary. Ford’s load test includes a 1,000 N load with an 80mm sphere at various locations of the component. SymaLite combines great stabil...
