As Seen In Plastics Technology
Injection Molding: Faster, Smarter, More Efficient Machines Tackle Sustainable Molding at K 2019
Blazing speed plus shrinking energy consumption supported the “green” theme at the big show. Smarter controls and growing connectivity were another key focus.
Simulation Is Making Injection Machines Smarter
Engel’s simlink will refine offline simulation with results from actual molding and use Engel’s machine data to constrain simulation within the actual machine’s capabilities.
Injection Molding: Artificial Intelligence Predicts Part Quality
AI software “learns” via DOE the influence of process variables on part quality and applies that “learning” to make good/bad part determination in production.
Sumitomo Demag Adds two New Tech Centers
New training and demo centers in Illinois and California will help molders keep up with technical developments as they happen.
Molder Adopts ‘Semi-Smart’ Automation
R&D Plastics finds new and more sophisticated ways to use robots.
Next-Generation Technologies Benefit Demand for LCPs
‘5G’ and ‘3D printing’ are key drivers in growing demand for LCPs according to FactMR study.
