Synergies in polyurethane foam technology
With the development of a new process in polyurethane foam technology for the production of thin-walled side member covers, Dynamit Nobel Kunststoff GmbH caused quite a stir. The result was better flow characteristics and shorter cycle times through an improved cooling process and, not least, an extremely light but also rigid part.

Bending of tubes
Since it is not possible to manufacture tube/hose/tube combinations in a single program cycle on conventional tube bending machines, Rosenberger AG was looking for a more flexible bending system which would at the same time provide outstanding precision, process reliability, and ease of operation.

Automatic deburring and correction of tolerance deviations to specification
With INSYS an existing robotic system producing covers for car doors has “learned” to detect tricky tolerance deviations and shrinkage problems in plastic parts when automatically deburring, and can correct them to specification.

KUKA robots can handle everything
At Ciba Specialty Chemicals, KUKA robots palletize sacks of plastic additives. The desire to react even more flexibly to customer requirements prompted Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Basel (Switzerland), to invest in a state-of-the-art automation system. Two KR 180 PA-type KUKA robots ensure that the sacks of chemicals are stacked cleanly on pallets or in cartons.
