Thermoplastic composites „ Bolt-on injection unit “ from Langzauner and ENGEL
Langzauner and ENGEL have jointly developed innovative composite processing technologies that set new standards in lightweight construction .
Both companies bring their specific strengths : ENGEL in injection molding technology and Langzauner in the development of hydraulic presses and special machines .
A recent project was successfully implemented at the Technology Center Thermoplastic Composites of the Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH ( IVW ), whereby an injection unit from Engel with a screw diameter of 70 mm was selected .
“ Additions to existing presses are becoming increasingly important in the composite sector . With its add-on units , Langzauner provides flexible extensions for activities such as the back injection molding of FRP semifinished products .
The combined production cell in IVW ’ s technical centre has an unprecedented density of technology in an extremely small space . ( Source : Langzauner )
