Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Acceleration is Not Everything
... highly dynamic demoulding device would appear to be the most appropriate solution. But is this a valid assumption? The Faster, the Better? Highly dynamic systems, such as the new, single-axis, high-speed ERS demoulding device from Engel (Fig. 1), surpass the natural force of gravity many times over. With an acceleration of over 110 m/s2 - more than 11 times the force of gravity - speeds of a good 8 m/s can be achieved. Such extreme acceleration is achieved both with the aid of a highly dynami...

...supply of the second machine. Martin Witulski is certain that, “because of the many advantages of the microfoam process, more parts will be produced by this technique. In the long run, nobody can surpass the combination of high quality and favourable production costs. Schröder has gained a clear lead here, which we want to build on, of course.” In September, the company celebrated its twentieth anniversary, and took the opportunity not only to invite customers and suppliers to a small party, but...

Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, On the Success Trail: “Product Portfolio Must Match Customer Demands”
Special “Product Portfolio Must Match Customer Demands” On the Success Trail. Krauss-Maffei is likely to post sales of more than EUR 500 million for the 2003/2004 financial year, and thereby surpass its record results from 1999/2000. This was one of the remarks made by Josef Märtl, chairman of the board, at the company’s preliminary press conference in the run-up to the “K” plastics fair. The interim results for all three business areas make for good reading. Josef Märtl, chairman of the board,...

...the process control and the rib structure. With all the combinations of plastics investigated, it was seen that the bending strengths are not as high as those for steel brackets. The material combinations do, however, attain or even surpass the torsional stiffness of the variants in steel. When it comes to energy-absorbing capacity too, the hybrid parts with inserts made of fibre-reinforced plastics beat the steel hybrid brackets by a considerable margin in some cases. The failure behaviour of ...

Due to production being shifted from Europe toward Asia, it is estimated that this region will surpass Europe in POM consumption. Manufacturers such as DuPont and Ticona have made timely preparations for this by expanding their Asian production capacities further in recent years. Local companies such as BlueStar Chemical New Materials of Shang...
