Medical technology application
Netstal Hall B3 – Booth 3119
Netstal will demonstrate the production of 10 ml syringe barrels with Luer-Lock adapters using its all-electric Elion MED injection moulding machine with a 1,750 kN clamping force. The process uses a precision eight cavity mould from Fostag and COC material from Topas, with a cycle time of approximately 20 s. Integrated systems from Mouldflo, Motan Colortronic, and HB-Therm are claimed to ensure precise thermal control, material preparation, and temperature regulation. Automation is managed by SKA, featuring high-speed part removal, thermal imaging, and process data tracking, all linked to a unique identifier via QR code. The Elion MED machine operates with advanced control technology, including Axos 9 and Responsive Filling Control (RFC), to ensure exact shot weight within validated tolerances. Additionally, cooling processes are monitored using Mouldflo’s thermal control system to maintain strict component quality. The SKA handling system removes the finished syringes and places them on a conveyor belt. The system communicates with the machine via Euromap 77 interface, providing real-time process data for consistent medical-grade production quality.
