LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER
SilcoStar
The 2KM product line SilcoStar is a
series of machines for the
processing of LSR
SILCOSTAR
o Production of mass items such as gaskets, baby dummies, shower heads, safety mats or other auxiliaries for the automotive and electrical industry.
Typical
Applications:
LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER
o New applications also result from the processing of new highly transparent silicones for the production of LED´s´.
o Medical and pharmaceutical products such as implants and molded parts containing special substances that are passed onto the human body while wearing the items.

CPP.interface
o Communication with injection moulding machine via OPC-UA interface
o Essential component of the industrial digitalization that can be found in the
actually submitted EUROMAP 83 of the VDMA (Verband deutscher
Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, i.e. the German Engineering Association)
o Provide all the production relevant data programmed into the machine
o secure the traceability of all the steps of production
o Available from june onwards for SilcoStar 904 / 924 and SilcoStar e-Flow’s
OPC-UA = Open Platform Communication - Unified Architecture
