    8. Cavity Pressure Measurement with q-switch

      Cavity Pressure Measurement with q-switch

      The aim of measuring mould cavity pressure is to improve cost-effectiveness by reducing the costs of manual post-production checks, shortening set-up times and minimising scrap. Process deviations can be detected at an early stage, allowing corrective action to be taken before defective parts are produced or incompletely filled parts are delivered to the customer. Another application is the quick and safe transfer of a mould from one machine to another without the need for time-consuming revalidation. As the internal mould pressure provides a comprehensive description of the production conditions of the injection-moulded part, it offers insight into the mould cavities – independent of individual machine configurations and parameters. The internal pressure profile of each part is therefore as unique as a fingerprint. Our high-performance system for measuring internal mould pressure monitors moulded part quality and provides the operator with precise information for process optimisation. In the event of viscosity fluctuations in the material, the system detects the ideal switching point and sends a signal to the machine. The selection of channels and the pressure level can be freely configured. This makes the process significantly more stable, as the system can detect and compensate for variations in filling caused by viscosity fluctuations. All tool-related data is stored in the built-in memory module directly on the tool and is therefore immediately available when changing machines. The system guides the user through the steps involved in setting up the process. The operator is intuitively guided through each stage until reference curves, tolerances and switching pressures have been defined. As a result, the learning curve for operating the system is extremely short.

    9. Charging Stations Made from Renewable Materials

      Charging Stations Made from Renewable Materials

      Fried sets another example for sustainability: Five CUBOS C44E charging stations have been put into operation on the premises of Fried Kunststofftechnik. What makes them special is that their housings are made from 100 percent renewable raw materials. Sustainable housings from our own production An innovative customer device impressed the Fried team with its holistic sustainable concept. The housing components, which have been in series production for a year, served as the basis for a further experiment. Originally, the wallbox was made from Covestro's sustainable Bayblend® RE plastic, which is produced from recycled vegetable oils. However, the experts at Fried went one step further and used ARBOBLEND® for their own charging stations – a material made from completely renewable raw materials. ARBOBLEND®: 100% bio-based material ARBOBLEND® is an innovative biocomposite material from Tecnaro GmbH and represents a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The material consists of renewable raw materials such as lignin, starch, natural fibers, or biodegradable polymers and is recyclable, depending on the formulation. ARBOBLEND® thus makes an active contribution to reducing fossil resources and promoting a circular economy. Thanks to its versatile processing properties, the material is ideal for injection molding and can be specifically adapted to mechanical, thermal, or optical requirements. Five of these sustainable wall boxes have been in use on the Fried Kunststofftechnik company premises for over a year. The customer is currently investigating whether series production with ARBOBLEND® can be realized.

      CRE.ACTIVE DESIGN by ROMIRA - made to order, bespoke, mold in color compounds with special effect, finish or functionality.

      The combination of color expertise from the CCC (Color Competence Center) and expertise in the formulation of plastics have resulted in the ability to continually achieve further developments in the possibilities of aesthetic surfaces in comparison to what currently exists. The CRE.ACTIVE Design approach makes it possible to achieve compatibility between the following elements: · INNOVATIVE DESIGN · REDUCTION OF THE CO2 FOOTPRINT · COST REDUCTION · RECYCLABILITY CRE.ACTIVE Design - MOLD IN COLOR solutions facilitate countless and innovative design possibilities: The CRE.ACTIVE Design portfolio includes technical plastics in colors with profound impact, with high-gloss finishes and/or matt effect on smooth or textured surfaces and also with the possibilities of a metallic effect, soft touch or ceramic feel. A combination of surfaces with high-gloss, grained and laser-textured areas can be created on the same part with the use of just one tool. CRE.ACTIVE Design provides a multitude of design options while at the same time offering significant energy and cost savings in comparison with the use of multiple tools and subsequent surface treatments such as lacquering. Reduction of the CO2 footprint is a current and shared challenge for all sectors. There are various possible paths to achieving this goal – the CRE.ACTIVE Design MOLD IN COLOR solutions immediately offer multiple benefits because they optimize the entire process: No additional processes are required for part decoration after injection molding, for example, the transport and energy costs are lower and fewer raw materials are used – meaning that the finished product has a significantly lower CO2 footprint than a product produced using conventional methods. The recyclability of the MOLD IN COLOR solutions provides additional benefits as a valuable resource for a closed loop materials cycle because no additional color lacquer is used.
