The combination of pharmaceutical and technological expertise makes Braunform an important partner for medical production. At Fakuma 2024, the mould maker will be presenting an injection mould that reflects the company’s know-how in an impressive way.

Hanwha Advanced Materials also outlined its vision of next-generation car seats in a presentation at JEC Asia last year in Seoul, Korea. “The seat of tomorrow will be a place for working, taking a nap or even postural analysis in a wellness seat,” according to the company. Hanwha Advanced Materials expects to see the emergence of low-center-of-gravity designs that will contribute to an overall lower center of gravity in the vehicle and thereby contribute to overall vehicle safety.

At Fakuma, Braunform will be presenting an 8-cavity injection mould that has been specifically designed for the production of insulin pen housings. The 8-cavity pilot mould made it possible to test and optimise the article and mould design and ultimately resulted in a 32-cavity production mould. Thanks to synchronised mechanical movements in combination with a horizontal article, direct injection with valve gate is possible. The injection mould is characterised by a high level of user-friendliness. Production is efficient and precise. The additional ejector stage controls the movement of two mini slides. A very space-saving and compact design is achieved as a result.

Stephen has been with PlasticsToday and its preceding publications Modern Plastics and Injection Molding since 1992, throughout this time based in the Asia Pacific region, including stints in Japan, Australia, and his current location Singapore. His current beat focuses on automotive. Stephen is an avid folding bicycle rider, often taking his bike on overseas business trips, and is a proud dachshund owner.

Scheduled for serial production in the near future, a seat frame compression-molded from a glass-mat-reinforced thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) composite delivers several advantages over incumbent conventional steel frames, according to its developer Hanwha Advanced Materials of South Korea. Besides an around 15–20% weight reduction versus steel (9.3 kg versus 10.98 kg in the current example), the plastic seat frame also enables a 60:40 split design option. This allows for the installation of three, three-point seatbelts. To boot, the GMT-PP composite possesses the necessary mechanical strength to be employed in the seatbelt anchor components.

Further advantages include 22% fewer components (25 versus 37 for a steel frame), no corrosion issues and lower assembly costs, as there is no need for welding. Using plastics also expands design options such as locations to tether and retain luggage. Forward and rearward movements are also on a par with a steel frame.

The future of car interior design is also likely to feature interchangeable/exchangeable car seats incorporating more functionality such as electronic adjustment functions, which will mean more emphasis on engineering out excess weight, potentially through the use of more plastics. The occupants can also look forward to more cabin space; if there are only three passengers, one car seat could be detached and left at home.

The Braunform MED Mold is a concept for the safe use of injection moulds in cleanrooms, which is based on the company's more than 25 years of experience in medical technology and production in cleanrooms. It was specifically developed for medical and pharmaceutical applications and takes into account the challenges of the use of injection molds in cleanrooms. This standard defines in detail various mold specifications and their use according to ISO cleanroom classes. The team of specialists at Braunform fully integrated the MED Mold standard into the company in June 2010. With this know-how, the company offers its customers in the medical technology industry low wear and low particle injection moulds and — if required — safe and efficient production of plastic articles.

In case my personal telephone number has also been collected, it may be used for offers of aforementioned products, for services of the companies mentioned above, and market research purposes.

The technology and design of the mould are based on two core competences of Braunform: Lift&Strip² technology and the MED Mold standard, which is established in the company since 2010. The Lift&Strip² technology ensures that the movement initiated by the machine ejector lifts and strips the article at the same time. This innovative solution optimises the production process and increases production efficiency. This technology makes it easier to operate the stripping strip and reduces the cycle time. Thanks to a movable forced guidance system, the stripping strip moves synchronously with the mould opening. Previously, the mould was opened and the stripping strip was actuated with a separate drive. Now this drive is no longer required and two processes are combined into one.
