New Temperature Controller, Hot Runner for Micromolder
Günther unveiled a new hot runner temperature controller and a specialized hot runner built specifically for the Babyplast line of molding machines at K 2022.
Günther Hot Runner Technology debuted the blueMaster pro hot runner temperature controller at K 2022, offering control of 6 to 24 control circuits and the ability to control them via web-enabled devices, including smart phones. In addition to the built-in display, the blueMaster pro allows users to access several devices on a tablet or quickly check the operating status remotely.

An assistance function provides support when setting up new tools and multicavity molds and multi-component systems can be operated using the integrated group management feature. To achieve such integrated temperature control data interface standardization was required, and the blueMaster pro meets Euromap 82.2 protocol.
In addition, the company unveiled what it says is the first needle valve hot runner the the Babyplast line of molding machines. Mold height is typically a limiting issue, but Günther overcame this with a patented actuation system. Running at Babyplast’s K 2022 booth, the specialized hot runner molded a 0.35g part from PA6. The mold is headed to a customer that will use it to run PEEK. The four-drop system features a pitch of 26 by 26 mm, with a needle diameter of 1 mm.
Targeting microinjection molding, including the Babyplast machine, this new hot runner has a 1-mm needle diameter.
