(PlasticsToday) -- Japanese
toolmaker Nishiuchi Seisakusho (Kiryu) developed what it calls the Floating
Self-Centering Mold System that does away with guide pins altogether, while
enabling the molding of precision components such as connectors with wall
thickness down to 0.09 mm and core hole width of 0.12 mm.
Explaining the concept of the system at the recent IPF show, Nishiuchi
Seisakusho CEO Kenji Nishiuchi presented a marker pen and repeatedly took off
the cap and placed it back on. "Essentially, that's what's happening when the
our tool opens and closes, and it does so with precision of 0.5 micrometers," he
says. "The cavity half on the moving platen is attached via rigid springs
and this enables it to mate perfectly with the half on the fixed platen during
clamping," says Nishiuchi.
Perspectives of development of polymer markets, pricing issues and other
important aspects will be discussed at The Polymers
Summit-2011, which will be held in Moscow on November 30, 2011 at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Summit will be organized by MRC with the support of
ICIS. The main idea of the Summit is to find a "the golden mean" between
producers and converters. When producers receive exactly such margin of
production, which helps them to invest in production expansion in order to
substitute polymers imports, and the converters receive such price of feedstock
that helps them to compete imported finished products. The Summit site gives an
access to the live video of the Summit, speakers" presentations, as well as
opportunities to ask questions or make appointments to any Summit
partcipant.
