Milacron unveils new M-Powered applications 48 4 smart_molding international 2/2020 contents 34 36 Thermoplay unveils its new thermal hot-runner nozzle The new generation of collaborative lightweight robots for direct side injection. This new open side-gate TFS hot from FANUC has arrived. After presenting the first runner nozzle is available in radial or linear layouts (TFS- prototypes of the CRX-10iA at IREX in Tokyo in December Radial and TFS-Linear). The TFS nozzles are particularly 2019, the company is now bringing the first production suitable for injection molded parts requiring a cosmetic units to Europe. The key features of the CRX-10iA are its injection point as well as parts for which the optimal safety, ease of use and extremely high reliability. If it hits injection position is from the side – i.e., at a right angle a hard object, the robot automatically backs away from to the direction that the mold opens. These applications it. Operators can also manually push three axes of the include syringes, caps, tubes, medical sharps, as well robot away. The smooth and elegant design also provides as personal care, caps & closures, packaging products, protection from pinching, making it an ideal partner for electronic, and technical components. production workers. 40 44 Thermoplastics with easy-flowing properties are usually Additive Manufacturing Technologies Ltd, leader in somewhat more expensive than comparable standard industrial automated post-processing solutions for materials; however, they offer advantages that ultimately additive manufacturing (AM), and Leering Hengelo, pay off in terms of processing, production costs and internationally recognized producer of blasting equipment freedom of design. This can be seen in the highly integrated for the metal and plastics processing industry, have bolster produced in plastic-metal composite technology partnered together to bring two new de-powdering (hybrid technology) for the Ford Kuga SUV.
