Injection Molding Systems, Robots, and Auxiliaries WITTMANN / WITTMANN BATTENFELD

WITTMANN and WITTMANN BATTENFELD integrated plastics processing systems

Founded in Austria in 1976, the WITTMANN Group provides end-to-end production solutions for injection molding and plastics manufacturing. By uniting WITTMANN robotics and auxiliaries with Battenfeld injection machinery, the enterprise created a single-source manufacturing model.

Equipment from the group operates globally in automotive plants, medical packaging cleanrooms, consumer appliance assembly lines, and electronics manufacturing facilities.

The Wittmann 4.0 architecture links injection molding machines, Cartesian robots, mold temperature control units, and resin dryers through a unified open communication protocol.

Real-time synchronization eliminates signal lag between press and robot, protecting tooling from accidental platen closure while reducing total workcell energy consumption.

Cartesian linear robots and Sonic ultra-highspeed removal systems

Linear robots across the W8, W9, and WX series feature dynamic brushless servo drives along the X, Y, and Z linear axes. Heavy-duty timing belts and recirculating linear ball guides enable rapid acceleration alongside repeatable millimeter precision.

Vertical arms are tailored to mold dimensions: telescopic configurations reduce the vertical clear ceiling height necessary above the injection molding press.

For thin-wall packaging applications requiring short molding intervals, Sonic ultra-highspeed robots deliver mold-open times under one second. Carbon-composite arm segments and high-torque drives ensure swift extraction without causing structural deflection.

Scheduled service covers timing belt tensioning, bearing inspection, and motor encoder calibration.

All-electric EcoPower and servo-hydraulic SmartPower injection molding machines

All-electric EcoPower machines with clamping forces from 55 to 550 tons deliver exceptional process hygiene and reduce electric consumption by up to 50% compared with conventional hydraulic units.

The onboard KERS energy recovery system collects drive deceleration energy, routing it to power heating zones on the plasticizing cylinder and sustain logic control voltage.

Servo-hydraulic SmartPower machines (38 to 400 tons) utilize a variable-frequency servo pump package. Hydraulic pressure is generated only during active platen travel, injection, or part ejection, dramatically decreasing thermal dissipation into hydraulic oil.

The Unilog B8 control terminal visualizes real-time pressure curves and hold-pressure profiles.

Peripheral processing systems: mold temperature control, resin drying, and vacuum conveying

Tempro plus D and Tempro basic units maintain mold temperatures up to 140 to 250 °C with tight thermal tolerance. Magnetically coupled pump drives prevent hot fluid leaks through worn dynamic shaft seals.

Compact Coolmax chillers provide active closed-loop cooling water circulation with sub-degree temperature regulation.

DRYMAX adsorption drying stations with dual desiccant beds deliver steady dew points down to -60 °C, protecting sensitive technical polymers like polyamide, polycarbonate, and PBT from hydrolytic degradation during melting.

Feedmax vacuum loaders transfer resin pellets without generating dust, relying on automatic compressed-air filter blowback.

Beside-the-press recycling granulators: G-Max and S-Max sprue cutters

Beside-the-press low-speed granulators G-Max and S-Max are installed directly adjacent to the machine clamp. Low rotor revolutions and staggered tool-steel cutting knives prevent thermal plastic degradation, ensuring uniform regrind granules without excessive fine dust generation.

Cleaned regrind is immediately reintroduced into the processing cycle via vacuum blowers or proportional proportioning valves. Regular measurement of rotor-to-bed knife gaps prolongs knife service life and guards against rotor jamming when processing thick sprues and runner systems.
