Cycling parts - Import export

The availability and output of a production system is only as high as the process reliability of its feeding systems allows. Thanks to more than 35 years of experience as a system supplier for assembly technology and custom machines, we can implement a large variety of applications tailored to customers' requirements;

The special Metzner development is a fully automatic machinery consisting of a contact-free loop control, an automatic cutting machine and a crushing station with storage system. It can produce polystyrene pipettes with diameters from 4 to 25 mm and lengths from 100 to 700 mm. The extruded material is first scored with the aid of several rotary cutting heads, then broken and finally deposited in collecting containers. The cycle time for four parts is only 1.5 seconds. For the production of short lengths (up to 120 mm), the cycle time is extended to approximately three seconds.

There was a need for coming up with a new pad printing machine, the basis of which opens up new target markets for us both technologically and in terms of applications. The result: the development of the SPEED 40-2 pad printing machine. Its output: as many as 9,000 cycles/h in continuous run. The production quantity is max. 18,000/h printed parts (single color with a printed image size of Ø 37 mm). Very high true-to-register printing, precision contours and photo and line images. The SPEED is a built-in execution, suitable for any kind of clocked, linear or rotary transfer systems. Thanks to its integrable misprint device there is no stopping of the machine in the absence of a workpiece. The power costs are low in comparison to the cycle number (part output). The SPEED 40-2 is a fast shortstroke machine of a new series of pad printing machines.

In the injection moulding process TPE pellets are fed into the machine through a hopper and then into a heated barrel. The heat from the barrel turns the material into a liquid resin which is then injected into a closed mould under high pressure. After allowing the molten polymer to cool, the finished part can be removed from the mould. Injection moulding is a high-volume, high tooling cost process, the advanced properties of our TPE compounds deliver short cycle times allowing parts to be produced at a rapid rate. The information below is intended as a general overview, settings may vary depending on the specific grade selected. Please CONTACT US for detailed processing information Settings Equipment Conventional injection moulding machine Compression set At least 2:1. Special screws with short sections and higher compression ratios (3:1 to 4:1) may be good at low screw speeds Shrinkage Between 1.0% and 2.5% depending on the grade, type of application and location of the gate.

Lifoflex B038/B045 These special TPE grades do have a high bonding to PA6, PA66, PA12 in two component parts. Also to glass fibre reinforced polyamide materials (up to 40% of glass fibre) a high bonding strength can be achieved. Modification of the polyamide with a primer is no longer necessary. The outstanding properties of these TPE compounds, like a high service temperature range, high oil resistance, soft touch surface and high flexibility, offer a wide variety of possible applications. Lifoflex B038/B045 materials are very easy to process in injection molding. The wide processing window results in a lower rate of defective parts and faster cycle times. Properties: Very high bonding strength to PA6, PA66,PA12 (including glass fi bre reinforced polyamide) Wide hardness range, from 25 up to 90 Shore A Very good chemical resistance High oil resistance High service temperature range (-40°C up to +120°C) Easy processing Wide processing window Easy coloring with color masterbatches Sof

The CETATEST XS is a compact, fully automatic leak tester for the detection of leaking parts within the cycle time of the production process. The tester is designed for leak testing of small-volume test parts and short total testing times. It is equipped with a gauge pressure sensor, through which the leak-related pressure decay is detected during the measurement time (relative pressure method). Using the application software CETA Soft XS the parameterisation of the test programs is carried out. Measurement results and pressure variation curves can be recorded. Typical applications: Leak tests which require a large measuring range.
