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)
We are right up to date in terms of technology and offer strongly scalable, adaptable production lines,” explains Alexander Wiesner, Head of Global Sales & Marketing at Langzauner.
