For many industrial companies, the question arises: Is a servo-electrically driven drive unit worthwhile? Festo SE & Co. KG, a leading company in pneumatic and electrical automation technology, was also faced with this question in 2016. Seven years later, the benefits of their decision to opt for Servomold are still paying off - time to recapitulate the positive collaboration and draw a conclusion for the future from the past.
Impressions from Hall A2: Servomold's major trade fair appearance of the year was dominated by our new generation of control units, strong partners and stand neighbors and future-oriented thinking for plastic injection moulding.
The anniversary year 2023 represents a special milestone on our path to success. Together with our employees, we are celebrating 25 years of existence and taking the opportunity to look at both the past and the future of the company.
Well-established, but far from being outdated, one of the earliest Servomold unscrewing systems - the 8-fold unscrewing unit for the Swiss company Wild & Küpfer AG - has been doing its job reliably for 11 years. After more than 43 million successfully unscrewed molded parts, it is high time to tell a joint success story that continues to this day.
Quality down to the micrometer - our customers have always been able to rely on this. Since July last year, this has also been officially confirmed by TÜV with the ISO9001/2015 certification. But how does quality management succeed sustainably in everyday work? A brief insight into the processes that ensure high-quality results.
Small impurities, big disaster. In the production of pharmaceutical primary packaging or medical plastic parts such as high-precision Luer lock systems, cleanliness for machine, mold and molded part is not a formality, but a strictly regulated production standard, compliance with which determines the top or flop of entire batches. Nobody wants to have thousands of parts produced for nothing - because of contamination on the screw cap. Servo-electrical automation concepts not only perform translational and linear movements reliably, they also reduce contamination risks to a minimum. But what exactly is the technology behind this? Let's put the servo advantages under the microscope.
Injection molds in the medical sector require a special level of precision, cleanliness, and process control. In our team of experts, Röchling found a design partner for its automated unscrewing unit that combines a passion for detail with forward-looking technologies.
Servo technology already performs precise piecework in many areas of modern injection molding processes, whether it's the unscrewing of caps and closures or the closing of lids. For companies that are still hesitating about the investment, it is worth taking a detailed look at the cost savings and concrete advantages in order to make a far-sighted decision.
The world is turning faster every day - this also applies to the cycle times of industrial production. One forward-looking way to keep up with the Speed is to use servo-electric drives for rotational and linear movements in your injection mold tools. But where exactly are the advantages of modern drive concepts and for whom is the investment particularly worthwhile?
