Page 2 Agenda A new changing market, the lighting industry Challenge for different material properties KraussMaffei solutions Live in our technikum Integration of new requirements
Page 3 A new changing market, the lighting industry Krauss Maffei offer a large variety of equipment to process many different Material, using in a wide range of application. The finished profile are used in the automotive, furniture, electrical and constructions industries. In the last couple of years a new sector become to be important the lighting sector.
Page 4 A new changing market, the lighting industry The LED technology brings a revolution, now the light can be adapted and placed almost everywhere. New design, new profile shapes are needed. Coextruded lamp housing appeared, they simplified enormously the lamp composition, LED, electronic, everything is integrated. But the extrusion process becomes more and more complex
Page 5 Challenges for different material properties To reach in this field the endproduct requirements; - Geometrie ( difficult shapes, tolerances) - Optical and surface (Tranparency, glass clear, translucent or opaque, gloss ) - Form Stability (mechanical properties, impact, against scratched, weathering exposure) two Materials dominate the market; Polycarbonate (PC) and Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) One important part the processing and the tool; In the tool and calibration you will find all the experience to reach the requirements. It give us the direction which machine and configuration we have to propose.
