An in-mold labeling (IML) system designed specifically for medical applications will be unveiled at Fakuma next month. MCC has harnessed the expertise of Arburg, Beck Automation, Intravis, and Kebo to develop the system, which, it says, seamlessly integrates advanced automation, precision, and quality control into the production process.
The system features the following elements:
- Arburg’s electric Allrounder 520 A, a high-performance injection molding machine specially designed for high speed and demanding processes such as thin-wall molding.
- Automation from Beck Automation works quasi-synchronously with the Arburg press, ensuring precise, repeatable label positioning during the injection molding process. The Beck label adjustment head measures each individual label and compensates for its manufacturing tolerances. The technology is unique in the field of IML, according to…
