We bring molecules into shape
From extruders to injection moulders
Whether as packaging material, shaped into a tube, in electrical engineering or as flooring, plastics play a central role in many areas of everyday life. Various plastics machines are used in the material’s wide range of processing scenarios. They are required to carry out special tasks and achieve an outstanding level of precision – this is a case for KEB Automation’s high-quality drive solutions!
Plastics technology is one of KEB’s main areas of application. And not without good reason. It’s not just the versatility of plastics machinery but also its ability to reduce CO2 emissions that make innovative machine and plant solutions so necessary around the world. For example, high torque accuracy makes it possible to produce particularly lightweight plastic packaging, which noticeably reduces the environmental impact during production and subsequent transportation. Plastics are also an important component of electromobility and make a significant contribution to the success of efforts to prevent climate change. As they have excellent recycling properties, plastics play a major role in a functioning circular economy and can thus pave the way towards increased sustainability.
This is the very reason why automation and drive technology adapted to the plastics industry has long been part of KEB’s portfolio. For example, the COMBIVERT S6 and F6 drive controllers score with maximum efficiency, dynamics, outstanding torque accuracy, high level of availability and individually adapted hardware and software features. From profile extruders to plastic injection moulding machines, KEB delivers the optimum drive solution in each case, and also advises the customer on a peer-to-peer basis.
