Extrusion International USA 6-2019

53 Extrusion International 6/2019 WithanoptimizedWEBER single-screw extruder, the robotic test facility al- ready manufactures assembly aids for our internal engineering requirements. Sample parts are printed in various materials working closely with our cus- tomers. The building chamber of the test facility is up to 2400 (L) x 1200 (W) x 600 (H) mm 3 . The system called “DX 025” is a portal system equipped with a high-quality granule extruder. “DX” (Direct Extru- sion) and is designed for 3Dprinting di- rectly with low-cost granules. “025” in The machine manufacturer Hans We- ber Maschinenfabrik GmbH, world-re- nowned for the production of extrud- ers and grinding machines, is further expanding its product portfolio with the introduction of the “Robotics & Automation” and “ WEBER Additive” divisions. The medium-sized company has set itself the goal of making addi- tive production of large-volume plas- tic components possible by means of granulate extrusion on an industrial scale with specially developed ma- chines. the machine name stands for the large working area: the prototype offers 2.5 m³ of constructions space within our high-precision portal system. There are hardly any limits this system offers to innovative customers. Work- ing with soft TPEs to CF/GF high-filled materials, WEBER’s wear-resistant ex- truders can plasticize all plastic pellet- ized materials. Large components are produced with the granule processing technology, this is not only faster but also significantly cheaper than with filament printing. Companies looking for an individual solution in additive manufacturing will find what they are looking for at HANS WEBER Maschinenfabrik. The family owned company, nowwith over 470 employees has always stood for perfection in special machine construc- tion and customer-specific machine so- lutions for almost 100 years. Thus, the robotic production systems and portal systemswithDX technologywill always be individually adapted to customer re- quirements in order to meet the high- est industrial requirements. New Devision introduced HANS WEBER Maschinenfabrik GmbH www.hansweber.de , additive@hansweber.de Davis-Standard reported that participation at K2019 resulted in sales over $17 million USD. The new orders represent the full spectrum of Davis-Standard’s product lines, including or- ders for pipe and tube systems, blown film systems and coat- ing and lamination systems. In addition to complete lines, there are several developing projects for equipment and technology upgrades to existing product lines. “Our K booth exceeded expectations with productive customer meetings, new sales and promising leads,” said Jim Murphy, Davis-Standard President and CEO. “Our brand message ‘Where your ideas take shape’ has reso- nated with customers as we work to build and promote sustainable solutions that support the circular economy. We anticipate additional business as result of K in the months ahead.” This was the first time Davis-Standard exhibited at K with the newest members of its global brand, Maillefer, Brampton Engineering and TSL. Each has added a new dimension to Davis-Standard’s robust line of equipment and aftermarket services. Sales at K 2019 exceed $ 17 Million Davis-Standard, LLC www.davis-standard.com
