PETpla.net Insider 10 / 2017

46 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 10/17 www.petpla.net High speed for packaging Three machines will be displayed on the Sumitomo (SHI) Demag’s own stand and a further three exhibited in conjunction with partner companies. Highlights include the latest genera- tion of the all-electric IntElect series, a high speed El Exis SP machine for injection compression moulding of decorated thin walled packaging lids and a multi-component Systec Multi injection moulding machine with an Industry 4.0 application. In addition to the IntElect machine, the latest innovation on show is the servoelectric SDR 5P sprue picker. www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu Hall B1 | Booth 1105 Sumitomo (SHI) The El Exis SP is a high speed machine for the production of thin walled containers and other plastic packaging. It can be viewed at Fakuma together with the material saving injection compression moulding of thin walled lids deco- rated with in mould labels (IML). Products towards Industry 4.0 In the near future, the manufacturing processes will be increasingly integrated and the industry will embrace a smart factory approach. Aiming to deliver solutions that will help the plastics processors to achieve progress on this challenging path, Piovan will show new products at Fakuma. At their stand, the first keynote exhibit will be Easytherm, the new line of temperature controllers for digital factories of Industry 4.0. A new internal and external layout, the rede- signed ergonomic control, coupled with the use of high-end components, characterise a versatile machine that guaran- tees reliability, accuracy and an intelligent management of consumption. It is already set up for use in “Industry 4.0” environments with open standards, such as the integrated OPC-UA protocol. Another important innovation on display is Winenergy, the system for monitoring and analysing energy consumption consisting of proprietary software, connected to a series of measuring instruments capable of detecting data related to different physical quantities, such as power, electricity, thermal energy, temperature. Winenergy can be installed individu- ally or together with Winfactory 4.0 in order to maximise the system control and efficiency. Quantum dosing gravimetric blender in a special configura- tion, Modula drying system and Easylink automatic coupling station will offer visitors a comprehensive overview of modern and advanced machinery to process plastics in ever more efficient fashion, with no material waste. www.piovan.com Hall A7 | Booth 7201 Piovan Simple-connected Sesotec presents Industry 4.0-ready metal separators to trade visitors. The objec- tive of plastics manufacturers and processors is to produce a maximum quantity of products in constant high quality. For achieving this objective the digitisation of pro- cesses is of decisive importance. For injection moulding, for example, digitisation in practice means that processes run stable and with high precision because information that is provided by peripherals such as metal separators is gathered in a network through standardised interfaces and machine parameters are thus automatically readjusted. Most machine and system manufacturers as well as plant operators today are faced with complex Industry 4.0 concepts. Concrete recommendations for action, however, are hard to find. Due to different communications solutions a system integra- tion means immense efforts. This can now be remedied by OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture), which meets all the requirements of Industry 4.0 communication and is more and more established as a standard. As an innovative company Sesotec concentrates on this type of integration to make metal separators “Plug & Play”-compliant. Sesotec therefore is one of the pioneers of OPC UA system integration (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) www.sesotec.com Hall B1 | Booth 1302 Sesotec Metal Separator Rapid Pro-Sense
