SmartPower B8X Combimould with electric injection unit

Electric injection aggregate for even more powerful performance and energy efficiency

With the optional electric injection unit, the machine combines the advantages of the servo-hydraulic SmartPower’s generous mold space with those of the all-electric EcoPower to provide highly dynamic regulation with maximum shot-by-shot reproducibility.

At the Fakuma, this powerful machine will be shown in the Combimould version. On a SmartPower B8X 120/350H/130S with an electric injection unit, the production of a bottle opener made of PC and TPE will be demonstrated, using a mold supplied by FKT Formenbau und Kunststofftechnik, Germany. The SmartPower B8X 120/350H/130S comes as a compact Insider solution with a W918 robot from WITTMANN and a conveyor belt integrated in the work cell. The robot inserts the metal parts presented to it by a magazine plus the decorative foil into the mold, where they are over-molded with polycarbonate. The resulting base body is subsequently passed on to the second station by a rotary unit and there over-molded with TPE, to give it a better grip. The finished parts are then deposited on the conveyor belt of the Insider cell.
