New Mold Components & Controls at K 2022

On the technology said, Hasco said that at K 2022 it will present a temperature control program, a flow meter, new ejector pins for ventilating cavities, and ejector pins from HSS quality steel. Hasco says it can offer more than 700 ejector sizes spread over all product variants. For additive manufacture of complex geometries, Hasco has metal powder in the steel grades 1.2709 and 1.4404, offering what it calls an ideal combination of particle size and spherical accuracy. It will also feature its Loc Check A5900/… location device that makes it possible to locate the position of an injection molding tool anywhere worldwide, where there is a GSM network.

In hot runners, the company’s focus is on its Streamrunner line of additively manufactured hot runners. A needle valve version offers a new and space-saving option, with faster color changes possible through flow-optimized design of the polished runners with large deflection radii.

New nozzles with variable gating areas and contact surfaces are available to enable application-specific temperature management with maximum wear resistance. Also, the company will display its Co-Cart transport trolley for hot runner control units.

On Digitization, the company said all show highlights, including user-friendly tools, an update of the Hasco app, interesting CAD features and other digital services to simplify day-to-day working, will be presented live at the show.
