The tape sandwich process uses thin, single-layer reinforcement materials such as tapes and fabrics with a polypropylene matrix that are inserted into both cavity halves of the injection mold without preheating. The mold closes, polypropylene is injected resulting in a “sandwich” structure. The mechanical properties of this structure allow the parts to satisfy the stiffness required for motorcycle seat bases with a single-layer UD-tape. Compared to more conventional fiber-reinforced composite plastics processing methods, included preheating organosheets via an oven prior to mold insertion, this process uses less energy and applies a standard molding cell.

Previous KTM seat bases were thicker molded components, featuring rib structures to boost rigidity, with thicker sections measuring in at 9 mm. To reduce the necessary installation space and create more room for electronics, KTM Technologies cooperated with Engel on a composite part utilizing tape-sandwich technology. The average thickness of this new part was just 2.5 mm.

Gifted with extraordinary technical know how and an authoritative yet plain English writing style, in this collection of articles Fattori offers his insights on a variety of molding-related topics that are bound to make your days on the production floor go a little bit better.

In June 2023: Haitian International opened an advanced manufacturing facility in Mexico with the strategic objective of enhancing local production capacity, reducing delivery times, and delivering superior solutions to meet the technical needs of customers in North and South America.

Development partners Engel and KTM Technologies introduced a “tape sandwich” process and design that the company’s say creates molded plastic parts with greater stiffness, less weight and low production costs. The aim of the joint development work, which is now commercially available, was to make a motorcycle seat base that’s more compact and lighter while retaining the same mechanical properties of its predecessor. Even in motorcycles, drivetrain electrification requires accommodation of an increasing number of electronic components. Belgium toolmaker Feronyl provided tooling for the project.

In this three-part collection, veteran molder and moldmaker Jim Fattori brings to bear his 40+ years of on-the-job experience and provides molders his “from the trenches” perspective on on the why, where and how of venting injection molds. Take the trial-and-error out of the molding venting process.

In a press conference at Mobility Days, KTM’s Franz Füreder described the opportunity at hand in the changing mobility space. “New drive concepts and autonomous driving change mobility requirements profoundly,” Füreder said, “and they require new material and manufacturing concepts. This creates major opportunities for plastics. Polymer materials are lightweight by definition and support a sparing use of raw material and energy, processed by injection molding, this opens up mass markets.”

Successfully starting or restarting an injection molding machine is less about ticking boxes on a rote checklist and more about individually assessing each processing scenario and its unique variables.

The global injection molding machine market is showing promising growth due to several significant drivers. In the U.S. market, the growing demand for packages is a major factor. This is a direct result of growing consumer purchasing capacity and ever demanding lifestyles of citizens, leading to a growth in the packaging sector and an associated increase in demand for injection molds for packages. The U.S. market holds the greatest share, exceeding 60.2%, due to leading factors, such as the availability of the latest technological tools, adequately skilled workforce, sophisticated processing equipment, and substantial investments into research and development. Another significant driver for growth is represented by the industrial trend towards the integration of automation and robotics in the operation of injection molding machines.
