Real-Time Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System
State of the Art Industry 4.0 Machines
OUR EQUIPMENT
Injection moulding
WITTMANN MicroPower 15 t
Our smallest injection moulding machine supports small-shot and micro-component projects. Its all-electric platform is designed specifically for small and micro parts.
15 t clamping force
Minimum shot weight: 0.02 g
Manufacturer shot volume: up to 4 cm³
Small-shot and micro-component moulding
Shot weight depends on polymer density, tooling and the installed injection unit. Ask us to assess the process for your part.
