Kiefel GmbH will present its new generation steel rule pressure forming machine Speedformer KMD 78.2 during K 2019. The advanced Kiefel steel rule machines come equipped with greater productivity and energy efficiency.
Erwin Wabnig, Director Packaging Division at Kiefel, explains, "The new generation of machines is fast and reliable. Operators, even without specific training, can operate them intuitively. Our new system can also process novel film materials and produce even complex products whilst consuming a minimal amount of energy."
Salient Features of KMD 78.2
The Kiefel designers focused on higher productivity, process control and availability, as well as trend-setting intuitive user guidance with considerable added value in operation and maintenance. The heating system is ready for use within a very short time and excels with a 20% higher heating capacity - despite reduced energy consumption. In combination with the servo drives' energy recovery system this leads to considerable energy savings.
The new KMD generation not only saves energy, but film too. A newly developed film feed table safely and gently guides the film to the film transport system. The proven station drives stabilize and work symmetrically. The further optimized forming air vacuum system enables customers to produce superior molded parts. The ergonomic tool change systems can significantly shorten set-up times.
Intelligent User Guidance
The new KMD 78.2 Speed needs a few parameters to be input, the rest are automatically determined by installed algorithms. The display shows the entire forming process and other important processes at a glance thereby making the process understandable for non-experts.
Kiefel booth will be available in Hall 3, stand E90 at the K 2019 to be held in October in Düsseldorf, Germany.
