Every tenth of a second counts

Even more than in the SMC process, the thermoplastic molding process has a short overall process time because the organic sheets heated outside the press cool down by up to 3 K every second. Here, Siempelkamp offers tailored solutions for fast handling. The basic idea: short distances and linear movements.

Reliable handling

The hot – and thus flexible – semifinished products require particular demands on material handling. With in-house expertise in feeder systems and in cooperation with industrial partners, Siempelkamp realizes the fast and gentle transfer from heating through reliable feeding up to the defined removing of the finished parts.
