The latest expansions at priomold have brought significant progress. A new overhead crane, which has been in operation since January 2024, transports tools weighing up to 500 kg safely and efficiently to the plastic injection molding machines which not only shortens set-up times but also ensures a smooth production process.
In February 2024, priomold added two state-of-the-art Arburg 470C 1000-350 Golden Edition plastic injection molding machines to its machine park. These machines set new standards in precision and versatility and optimize the production of high-quality plastic parts. The investment brought priomold's total number of plastic injection molding machines to 20 Arburg machines ranging from 40 to 360 tons and led to further optimization of manufacturing processes and expansion of production capacity.
The increase in SLS 3D printing capacity was an important step into the future. Also in February 2024, two new EOS-branded SLS printers were put into operation: the Formiga P110 and the EOS P396. The Formiga P110, a renowned and reliable industrial 3D printer, uses a unique fine laser beam to create intricate parts and ultra-smooth surfaces, opening up new areas of application. This system features a small footprint and state-of-the-art workflow-based software. The mid-range EOS P396 printer enables flexible, tool-less production of spare parts through to volume production, quadrupling component volume. This investment enables priomold to apply innovative additive manufacturing technologies and further shorten development cycles for prototypes and low-volume production.
The introduction of new human-machine interface (HMI) monitors at workstations marks a further step in the ongoing digitalization process. These digital workstations not only optimize the operation of the machines, but also enable accelerated processing and analysis of data. This seamless integration of man and machine underlines priomold's commitment to using innovative technologies to increase the productivity and quality of manufacturing processes.
