New: TIM Light, the little brother of the patented cube technology concept TIM (Total Integrated Manufacturing)

TIM Tool

Z. Cyclone system for spraying disposable cups with Luer application

Zahoransky presents a TIM-Stack Mould tool at their booth in Hall 02, Stand A02, consisting of two tool halves with a centrally located rotary core. This allows two different parts to be produced with one tool. The special feature of this new, patented system is the two mounting plates located outside the tool. This enables complex assembly processes to be carried out easily outside of the two tool halves. The major advantage: the machine cycle is not extended. Unlike conventional rotary core technology, the complexity of the tool is greatly simplified due to the external mounting work.

For the TIM Light tool, the smaller version of TIM, a modular two-plate tool is used instead of the rotary core tool. This allows the injection molding machine to dispense with a tie bar extension, which is mandatory for rotary core tools. The big plus: instead of special machines, only standard injection molding machines are needed for TIM Light.

The assembly of the injection-molded part also takes place outside the tool on external movable plates, independently of the TIM Light system. Only the insertion of the mounting plates into the tool slightly prolongs the machine cycle.

Z.Zyklon, the complete system for the production of disposable cannulas

From the system technology sector, a needle singulation system is demonstrated in operation. The Z.Zyklon system for manufacturing disposable cannulas presents a comprehensive automation solution in modular design, following the motto "Everything from a single source". The complete system is used for singulating and glue-free overmolding of sharpened cannulas with a Luer connection. The Z.Zyklon system integrates both the NFS (Needle Feeding System) and the injection molding machine.

An Arburg Allrounder 275 V with a rotary table is used as the injection molding machine. The associated 8-cavity injection mold in full hot runner design was also designed and produced in-house. The output of one system is 55 million disposable cannulas per year. Multiple systems can be combined for scaling.

As a system supplier, Zahoransky offers high integration of upstream and downstream automation, from raw material to finished packaging. "Everything from a single source" also means that the entire control of all peripheral modules is managed via a central, user-friendly PLC process control.
