DIEFFENBACHER and Arburg will in future cooperate to develop new solutions for the transfer molding of hybrid components. This allows them to combine their expertise in the fields of press systems and automated presses as well as injection molding technology, bringing together the advantages of both worlds.Arburg and DIEFFENBACHER recently demonstrated their successful cooperation as part of the MoPaHyb research project "Modular production plant for heavy-duty hybrid components", which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Together with Fraunhofer ICT, Pfinztal, and nine other partners, a modular production system for hybrid components was developed and realized. It combines a size 4,600 modular injection unit for fiber direct compounding (FDC) from Arburg with a DIEFFENBACHER 3,600-ton vertical press located at the ICT. The system makes it possible to implement component dimensions and complexities that could not be manufactured before.By combining transfer molding and FDC injection molding, hybrid components can be produced very economically and flexibly. DIEFFENBACHER will be presenting this concept at K 2019 in Dusseldorf from 16 to 23 October in hall 14, booth A02.
