The fact that ALLROUNDERs can not only be used for plastic injection moulding CIM,MIM but also for ceramic and metal injection moulding is demonstrated by the production of a micro cogwheel on an ALLROUNDER equipped for powder processing.
The dimensions of the moulded part – 1.4 mm external diameter, 525 µm internal diameter and a thickness of 0.2 mm – make this application from the metal injection moulding MIM sector of particular interest.
In order to clearly demonstrate the potential of the process, Kugele (a specialist for injection moulds), the Chair and Institute of Machine Tools and Production Science (wbk) of the University of Karlsruhe and ARBURG have combined forces in a joint-venture project.
The required precision and reproducibility as well as cost-effective series production can be achieved with the metal injection moulding MIM production process.
