The capacities in the technical centre are available to all customers of the Wittmann Group - for individual presentations, joint development work, technical application advice, material and tool trials and factory acceptance tests. There is space for two large injection moulding production cells in the technical centre, The applications on show will be constantly changing. A servo-hydraulic SmartPower and an all-electric EcoPower injection moulding machine will be the first to produce guest gifts on the opening day.
Both applications show how easily CO2-savings potential can be utilised. Among other things, the High energy efficiency of the machines, digital assistance systems and the processing of recycled materials on this. The advantages of complete solutions from a single source also become clear.
„With complete solutions, we can precisely coordinate all components of the production cell from the outset and thus utilise efficiency and quality potential particularly well.
