WITTMANN BATTENFELD with LSR application at the Medtec Europe

From 21 to 23 April 2015, WITTMANN BATTENFELD will present an interesting micro injection molding application in the field of liquid silicone to trade visitors at booth 5B10, at the Medtec Europe in Stuttgart, the leading European medical technology fair.

With its electric machines of the EcoPower and the MicroPower series WITTMANN BATTENFELD has developed over the last few years into a competent partner for the medical technology industry. The Medtec is for the company an important platform to demonstrate its competence in this area.

Micro injection molding with LSR inside the clean room
At the Medtec in Stuttgart, WITTMANN BATTENFELD will demonstrate the elaboration of liquid silicone on a machine from the MicroPower series specially designed for injection molding of small and micro parts. By showing micro parts being produced from liquid silicone, the possibilities of LSR processing are to be visualized in this sector, which is increasingly gaining in significance. On a MicroPower 15/10, lenses will be manufactured on a mold supplied by Awetis, Germany, from 2-component liquid silicone rubber supplied by Momentive, Germany, with the material being conveyed by a dosing pump supplied by EMT Dosiertechnik, Germany, from two 1-liter cartridges to the injection unit.

The machine on display comes as a full-fledged clean-room production cell, equipped with a rotary disk, parts removal handling device, integrated quality inspection by image processing, as well as a clean-room module, which produces class 6 clean air according to the ISO 14644-1 standard. The parts are all injected, quality-inspected and deposited inside the clean room.
