The future belongs to intelligent tempering

Thanks to the re­cent ac­qui­si­tion of the tech­nol­o­gy ser­vice provider iQtemp, the Ger­man ther­mo­dy­nam­ics spe­cial­ist hotset is now able to re­al­ize tem­per­ing sys­tems that in­te­grate dy­nam­ic heat­ing and ho­moge­nous cool­ing in a way that is unique to date. These pack­age so­lu­tions of­fer tool­mak­ers in in­jec­tion mold­ing and die cast­ing tech­nol­o­gy trend­set­ting per­spec­tives for the pro­duc­tion of in­tel­li­gent tools for se­ries pro­duc­tion of low-stress mold­ed parts with flaw­less sur­faces. At the Faku­ma trade fair, hotset will pro­vide de­tailed in­for­ma­tion on the po­ten­tial of the new com­bi­na­tion sys­tems in Hall B2.

“The fu­ture be­longs to in­tel­li­gent tem­per­a­ture con­trol”, says Sven Braatz, Sales Man­ag­er and proxy of hotset. Vis­i­tors to this year’s Faku­ma can find out ex­act­ly what he means at booth 2112 in hall B2. Themed “con­trolled en­er­gy flow”, hotset de­vel­op­ment en­gi­neers will be pro­vid­ing in­for­ma­tion on the im­ple­men­ta­tion of new tem­per­a­ture con­trol sys­tems that en­able both the tar­get­ed heat­ing of spe­cif­ic prob­lem zones on the mold and ho­mo­ge­neous cool­ing of the cav­i­ties. These are in­te­grat­ed so­lu­tions con­sist­ing of sev­er­al tech­ni­cal ap­proach­es. Pri­mar­i­ly for tool­mak­ers in in­jec­tion mold­ing and die cast­ing, it will thus be pos­si­ble to use in­tel­li­gent tem­per­a­ture con­trol sys­tems that en­sure se­ries pro­duc­tion of high-qual­i­ty mold­ed parts for use in au­to­mo­tive en­gi­neer­ing, house­hold ap­pli­ances, med­ical en­gi­neer­ing, elec­tri­cal en­gi­neer­ing and many oth­er ar­eas. Sven Braatz ex­plains: Our new tem­per­a­ture con­trol sys­tems com­bine dy­nam­ic and par­tial heat­ing of de­fined mold ar­eas with heat dis­si­pa­tion par­al­lel to the con­tour with bal­anced flow. They al­low for ex­treme­ly ho­mo­ge­neous, fast and sur­pris­ing­ly en­er­gy-sav­ing tem­per­a­ture con­trol. This re­sults in plas­tic parts with low-stress struc­tures, flaw­less sur­faces, pre­cise­ly con­toured mi­crostruc­tures and im­mac­u­late thin-wall areas.”
