Demag Ergotech (known as Van Dorn Demag in the U.S.) showed a new 50-ton model of its all-electric IntElect injection molding machine series at Fakuma, which joins the 100-ton model launched at NPE 2003. New 80- and 150-ton models will arrive by spring 2004 to complete the series. VDD asserts that with water-cooled, high-torque direct drives on all main movements, IntElect machines combine the most advanced drive concept among current all-electric machines with the best price/performance ratio.Performance features include a high degree of precision, low energy consumption, low noise, and repeatability. At Fakuma an IntElect 50 machine was molding a small complex lens housing for a DVD player in LCP with 30% glass fiber. The mold, made by Stamm AG of Hallau, Switzerland, incorporates multiple slides for demolding and must maintain holes in the part with diameters as small as .12 mm.
