Six companies present themselves at the country pavilion

At K 2010, also announced more than 250 exhibitors from Mainland China as well as 44 exhibitors from Hong Kong (2007: 155 from China and 31 from Hong Kong). Six Hong Kong companies present themselves in the context of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organized national pavilions in Hall 1, Stand A25.

Hong Rita Mold Ltd.. supplies across industries, the automotive industry, medical and electronics industry with plastic molds, plastic parts and assemblies. The company covers the entire process from product design, manufacturing, dyeing and printing and quality control from up to.

The mold maker Ultratech Mold Design & Mfg.. Co Ltd. represents precision injection molds, assemblies and components for pre ago. Reflecting the high quality of products for the mobile industry, the cosmetics and packaging industries ensures Ultratech utilizes a two-step molding process, to handle different polymers. The bulk of manufactured goods went to the U.S. and Europe.

On trade and the production of pigment granules and color mixtures has Ngai Hing Hong Coltec Ltd.. specializes. The company chose to rely on the use of biodegradable polymers.

Kin fact Rubber Technology Ltd. primarily serves the electronics and motor vehicles with plastic and rubber small parts.

With TK Mold Ltd.. presents itself an injection molding manufacturer. The custom hardware is mainly used in mobile phones before, during the major components used in vehicles to come.

Since the last trade fair K 2007, at AH Chau Plastic & Mould Manufactory Ltd.. done a lot: The manufacturer of finished plastic parts for the entertainment industry, toys and office supplies in addition to meet international production standards now also the environmental standard ISO14000. 2009 he has also requirements of the automotive industry for the quality management standard under the OST / TS 16949 is connected to.

Bayer Material Science: Robot Suit With High-Tech Plastic

Bayer Material Science produces high-quality material for an innovative robot suit to assist the human motor and power increased. The HAL exoskeleton ® developed and manufactured by the Japanese company CYBERDYNE, is now seen at Bayer Material Science at the K 2010 as an example of the mega-trend "Health".

The glossy white plastic housing of the robot suit is based on a recently thermoplastic polymer mixture of the product class Bayblend ®. "Our material combines toughness required for the HAL ® with an attractive design," said Dr. Lawrence Kramer, who is responsible at Bayer MaterialScience for the area of Robotics. "By working with CYBERDYNE we expand our global activities in the future market robotics continues."

HAL exoskeleton ® to make life easier
In Japan, HAL ® - the acronym stands for Hybrid Assistive Limb - already in a leasing model is used used in rehabilitation centers. Here the artificial legs the support to help with everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or getting up and support as it did when building muscle.

Given the aging of Japanese society is predicted for such service robots in the coming years, a rapid market growth. Experts tend to see significant potential in the entire Western world.

"® is thanks to the use of the functionality of HAL Bayblend ® improved significantly," said Yoshiyuki Sankai Professor, CEO and founder of CYBERDYNE, Inc. He still sees many other uses for polymers in the manufacture of robots. Here was currently still mainly used metal but I have too many restrictions. Sankai: "The strong power of innovation and technology-orientation of Bayer MaterialScience is very valuable to us, we look forward to continuing to work.."

Used in factories or in emergency
According to the ideas of the internationally renowned scientist who teaches at the University of Tsukuba near Tokyo, the robot should suit not only be used in health. Since HAL can almost tenfold ® physical strength, the system was well suited to facilitate such hard physical work in factories or on construction sites. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the exoskeleton civil protection assistance or help with sports bar.

The robot suit is strapped to the human limbs. It is controlled by a computer, the signals from electrodes on the skin of the user receives. This register again in a split second the weak bioelectric impulses that the brain sends to muscles, when a movement is intended. The whole robot suit moves so synchronized to the physical movement of the wearer.

Reisner: Energy-efficient cooling systems for the extrusion

"Whether a film, a profile or a tube is made, the cooling of the semifinished product plays a significant role." According to Reisner, the cooling provides a high output of the entire system and guarantee an optimal final product quality. The refrigeration system manufacturer, be it with his new development "Epsilon (ε) is now able to design a cooling system that is flexible in every situation, the requested service and at the same time consumes a minimum of energy.

The heart of the ε-system is a magnetic bearing compressor, which works on the turbine principle - it sucks the refrigerant gas in axial and radial forces it out again. Thanks to its infinitely variable speed control can improve the performance of the entire system at any time with the current refrigeration demand of each extrusion line to be adjusted. In contrast to most screw compressors are Reisner Epsilon systems to remain in the partial load is always constant in their efficiency.

The Reisner presented during an open house of Battenfeld cincinnati, Bad Oeynhausen / Vienna, while the K 2010 in combination with refrigeration from Battenfeld Extrusion Systems-Cincinnati. The event provides the extruder specialist on three existing complete systems.
