Intelligent machine technology for flat, lightweight components
Process combinations. A new type of injection moulding press for the first time combines the processing options of a pressing machine, melt-strand deposition-unit and injection units for multi-component and MuCell technology. The many different possibilities offered by this machine are aimed particularly at efficient production of functionally integrated, flat, lightweight components by low-flow film or textile in-mould lamination, microcellular foaming technology and hybrid technology.
