With the acquisition of Paramecc GbR, Männer group has entered into the development and manufacture of moulding machines for microinjection. At the K 2010 this year, which takes place from October 27 to November 3, the German company presents its first advance: "Micro-män". Molding microinjection whose revolutionary concept system is setting new standards.

The previous autumn, Ralph Keitel and Alexander Gehring, partners in the management of Paramecc GbR in Bahlingen (Germany) presented the concept of the moulding machine in public by microinjection. Needed them a partner for its further development, production and marketing. Found it in its own backyard: your company is now part of the Group Männer. His Union has given way to a new firm called Otto Männer Engineering GmbH, and account Hans-Peter Männer, Ralph Keitel and Alexander Gehring as directors managers.

Männer has more than 40 years of experience in the manufacture of high precision and the technology of hot channels moulds. Hans-Peter Männer, now President of the group, said to rely on the ability of it to meet the challenges of the moulding by microinjection: "we immediately saw the potential for partnership and the merger of the experience and knowledge accumulated by both sides." "Ralph Keitel and Alexander Gehring have developed fully electric molding machines for all the major manufacturers, injecting what makes them experts of first order in the area of electric propulsion technology". The President says to expect a great synergy between microinjection technology and experience of business of Männer.

The miniaturization of plastic components has long been a hot topic in the manufacturing of plastics industry

The miniaturization of plastic components has long been a hot topic in the plastics manufacturing industry. Smaller components, only the size of the head of a match, have more and more applications in industries such as medical technology, electronics, automotive, and telecommunications. The demand for high-precision microcomponentes is growing around the world.

Requirements

The requirements for the quality and reproducibility of the pieces are high. Pieces that weigh only a few milligrams, however, need a production environment specially adapted to their physical properties and their small size and high-precision requirements. For this reason, the technology requirements involved in the development and manufacture of a molding machine by microinjection are similar to the moulding of high precision and the technology of hot channels.

K 2010 Männer presents a revolutionary system of microinjection molding called 'Micro-män'. The concept of this machine takes into consideration all the production environment, with the aim of establishing new standards of accuracy, economy and speed.
