Optimised. Perfected. Completed.

What epitomises the new generation of Weingärtner machines? Quite simply the fact that it improves the cost-efficient, complete machining of feed-, extrusion and injection moulding screws. At Weingärtner, brainwaves produce fresh ideas, which in turn solve problems and enhance customer success. The end-result? There is nothing average about Weingärtner.

Systematic. Advanced. Thinking. The pick up.

The new pick up machining centre represents the systematic further development of the pick up classic machine series, which has proven so successful in the plastics industry. pick up facilitates the production of complete screw geometries and once again demonstrates Weingärtner’s weakness; a weakness for perfection.

Clear. Concentrated. Customer-oriented.

Customers set Weingärtner a challenge and its team responded with persistence. They asked themselves how the cost efficiency of the production of “small” screws with diameters of up to 150mm and “big” screws with diameters of up to 400mm could be optimised? And the result proved convincing, as customers are now using the new pick up worldwide.

The concept:

In the new pick up concept, Weingärtner has linked both proven and innovative mpmc technology. Consequently, the machine employs a blend of the tried and tested cutting concept used in the pick up classic machine series, with prism jaw steadies, a stable headstock and tailstock, in combination with the powerful and flexible machining technology of the mpmc turning and milling centre.

The result:

A high-performance milling and optional turining machining centre for the complete processing of plastic screws.

Advantages:

• A complete system from programming to the finished workpiece.
• Time savings during programming because existing weinCAD® program data can be reused in production.
• Increased flexibility derived from the fact that the pick up can be utilised purely for milling, or as a turning and milling centre, either with or without a tool magazine.
• The safety and cleanliness provided by standard features that include an encapsulated working area with emulsion mist extraction, barrier-free access to the workpiece and automatic safety gates, as well as a mobile control console that can be rotated and height-adjusted along the entire length of the machine.
• Uncompromising cost efficiency during complete screw machining derived from the highly flexible milling process in tandem with the optional turning application.
• Uncompromising cost efficiency during complete screw machining derived from the highly flexible milling process in tandem with the optional turning application.

Polished profitability.

What are the benefits of using a grinding and polishing machine? Quite simply, it accelerates and completes the second rotor, stator and screw machining phase. This know-how package combines multifunctional polishing units with the weinCAD® module for polishing, spiral grinding and measurement.

Profiling and optimising.

One feature for genuine plastics industry success is the equipping of the machine with a grinding and polishing unit. Special devices for the application of the polish paste to screws provide exceptional quality, while the solid material disk profiles the geometry of the workpieces to perfection using its own take-off fixture. Moreover, the disk facilitates the highly cost-efficient grinding of edges and radii.

All in all, this adds up to saved time, money and nerves.

Single. Treble.

Shorter cycle times and competitive advantages is the motto and for the oilfield industry, the special development of the treble grinding unit represents a genuine USP, as it reduces time, energy and financial expenditure. The uniform geometries of the Moineau rotors and stator cores make this special application highly attractive to oilfield companies and therefore particularly successful.

Contactless measurement is a perfect addition.

The tailor-made package for the oilfield industry can be supplemented by a measurement device, which provides the tactile and contactless measurement of Moineau components. The results are then integrated into the machine process and linked bi-directionally using weinCAD®. The polishing of bolts and Moineau design parts takes place using a grinding belt and contact or fan disk in a multifunctional polishing unit (buffing).
