Z-System The new era of injection molding

Z-System The new era of injection molding Systems The whole is more than the sum of its constituent parts. This applies in particular to thermodynamics. The right heating element requires the appropriate thermal sensor and a suitable control unit. Is protective insulation needed? The matching plugs? A box around it? What about active cooling? If our customers pose these questions, then they need not only a component from us, but a whole, suitable system. The new era of injection molding: Z-System

Benefit from the new era of injection molding. High quality designed surfaces - more possibilities Z-System: Selectively, the right temperature at the right time precisely at the right place in the cavity. The result: no visible weld lines, flow lines or matt points. In addition, you will be able to realize thin wall thicknesses, filigree geometries and top quality microstructures. The shortest top quality cycles Z-System works in an extremely dynamic way. With a heating rate of 60 K/s (at the cavity surface), the injection molding tool is quickly heated up at the right point and above all,...

Surfaces without weld lines With the Z-System you selectively temper in the injection molding tool exactly in the place where the weld line would otherwise arise. The flow of plastic will be optimized on the problematic point. As a result, the plastics flow into each other and connect without visible weld line. We tailor the Z-System individually to your injection molding application and your mold. Very thin wall thicknesses. You want to manufacture filigree injection molded parts with very thin wall thicknesses at selective points? The Z-System ensures that the plastic within the cavity...

With the Z-System you achieve particularly high quality designed surfaces without longer cycle times – or, in part, even with shorter cycle times. With the partial mold tempering, you can quickly bring heat energy into and out of the mold. The Z-System partially tempers tools with a heating speed of 60 K/s. The main advantage, in addition to rapid heating, there is the rapid removal of heating energy and/or rapid cooling. Cycle from start signal along the adjusted delay time to the end of heating process With the Z-System, you save energy and costs as well. This is because the system heats...
