Available in 12 sizes from 1000 × 700 mm to 3000 × 2000 mm forming area and 400 to 800 mm max. draw depth, the units boast the following: • Up to 40% lower energy consumption for the machine movements, thanks to all-servo actuation with self-lubricating linear guides; • Up to 20% less energy used for cooling; • Up to 40% faster movements in the forming area, while maintaining positioning precision of up to 0.05 mm; • Up to 20% savings in machine weight, making it easier to move and service and reducing wear and tear on individual components; • Up to 15% smaller footprint and overall machine height. • Mold changes as fast as 10 min; • Up to 20% greater flexibility in adjusting the forming aperture plate, thanks to the patented TRIPLO automatic adjustment system, which has been further improved in terms of lower weight. This new-generation machine has an icon-based touchscreen operator panel; choice of ceramic, quartz, or halogen heaters; and standardized tool-mounting system that takes into account most of the types of tools used by custom formers and those of major brands in the industry. 724-772-5600 • cannonusa.com THERMOFORMING Carbon-Fiber Nylon 6 & 66 Compounds Nylon 6 and 66 compounds reinforced by 15% to 30% virgin carbon fibers have been introduced by A.Schulman, Fairlawn, Ohio. They are aimed at aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, sporting goods and other consumer and technical applications. Schulamid 6 is a general- purpose nylon while Shulamid 66 is recommended for applications with higher peak temperatures. Besides increased stiffness and strength, these compounds offer electrical conductivity and low thermal expansion. 330-666-3751 • aschulman.com Low-Emission Acetal for Gears A new low-emission acetal for automotive and non-automotive gears is said to outperform high-viscosity acetals. Launched by DuPont Performance Materials (now a unit of DowDuPont Materials Science), Wilmington, Del., Delrin 100CPE NC010 is an alternative to Delrin 100, which for 60 years has been a standard choice for high-performance gears—particularly in automotive actuators such as window lifters, steering supports, safety restraint systems, and wipers. Thermal properties and high-temperature tensile creep of this grade are comparable to state-of-the-art grades. Its level of formal- dehyde emissions is below 2 ppm according to the VDA 275 testing method—which allows compliance with current and future industry standards. It also boasts strong molding productivity, enabling continuous molding for several thousand shots. It is said to leave a very clean tool surface with a step-change reduction in mold deposits vs. the incumbent materials. 800-441-0575 • dupont.com MATERIALS MATERIALS 74 JANUARY 2018 Plastics Technology PTonline.com Keeping Up W it h Technolog y
