Van Dorn Demag & BAUER Agreement
07/01/2003 | Company News
Norfolk, VA -- BAUER Plastics Technology Group and Van Dorn Demag have reached an agreement to offer an integrated BAUER gas-assist module on Van Dorn Demag injection molding machines. BAUER is the world's leading manufacturer of high-pressure compressor systems. BAUER Nitrogen Gas systems are available for generation and compression of nitrogen and are available in a variety of configurations and pressures.
An integrated BAUER Nitrogen Control Module will offer Van Dorn Demag customers a complete molding machine system for their gas assist applications. This module regulates an individual pressure profile to a single gas injection outlet using a closed loop, programmable logic controller, low-pressure proportional valve and a high pressure dome load regulator. The NCM is capable of controlling the time, pressure and ramp variables of a pressure profile that can consist of up to five pressure setpoints between 0 and 5,000 psig.
Ultimately, this integrated option will allow molders to maximize their production efficiencies. Molders can expect to see warps, sinks and internal stresses eliminated, while at the same time reducing clamp tonnage requirements, cycle time and part weight.
