At K 2019, many new developments in injection moulding can be witnessed as this type of production system continue to evolve to serve the needs of the markets the world over.
KraussMaffei, for instance, has been known to meet the plastics market’s needs with its range of injection moulding systems. From the manufacture of bumper elements or small caps from high-cavity moulds—the hydraulic GX series from KraussMaffei masters packaging as well as medical technology and automotive. But this year, the GX 1100, the new heavyweight of the series, sees its market launch at the K 2019 trade show.
“With the new clamping force size of 11,000 kN, we are expanding the range of our successful GX series with a specific target. We see great opportunities particularly in the areas of packaging and logistics,” according to Hans-Ulrich Golz, President of the Injection Molding Machinery segment of KraussMaffei.
The most recent member of the GX series has the well-known space-saving two-platen design, the GearX and GuideX clamping elements, the modular configuration and a wide variety of equipment options, for example, the particularly energy-saving BluePower servo drive.
