KraussMaffei: Cutting machine costs with efficient production solutions

Increasing productivity and efficiency is the main theme of KraussMaffei’s stand at Fakuma. Under the motto BluePower the company has bundled its energy- and resource-efficient production solutions. At its stand KraussMaffei will feature low to medium tonnage injection moulding machines – hydraulic and electric machines from its CX, AX, and EX series.

KraussMaffei’s CX Spin Form machine

KM will show an example of a swivel-platen machine, a CXW 200-380/160 SpinForm to demonstrate the benefits of integrated assembly. Lightweight, three-part plastic closures made of PP will be produced on this machine using a cube technology. Technology partner here is mouldmaker Zahoransky.

All machines on the KM stand are fitted with a central computer interface, so that production locations can be networked. Using the KM Mobile Assistant, a smartphone solution, the operator can check status and production data of the machines at any time and from anywhere in the world. KM developed the application in cooperation with a software partner, T.I.G. Technische Informationssysteme, Rankweil/Austria.
