Amixon VM: New mixer generation with total emptying
At first sight, every industrially applicable mixing principle already seems to be invented for the solids mixing technology. These processing machines however are continuously refined and improved. Their objective, amongst other things, is to simplify the production of appliances. The refinement furthermore aims at increasing the user advan-tages for the operator and enhancing the production processes. The engineers also focus on the optimisation of the hygiene and the mixing quality. This is where amixon GmbH introduces a new development, which enables an almost complete removal of the mixed product, without leaving any residues whatsoever, from the mixer.

REDEX
High-Speed Fiber placement on large complex structures
Reducing aircraft weight is essential to boosting fuel efficiency. Not only is it very important in terms of cost, but also given the ever-increasing distances that airplanes of the future are expected to travel more capacity is essential. Carbon fiber's high strength to weight ratio is one of the main innovations today, but the need for high production rates requires extremely complex machines. Electroimpact has developed an outstanding solution offering a 2000 inch per minute (50-meter per minute) automated fiber placement speed. This means a very sophisticated control system and very stable and accurate axes drive systems. Andantex USA provided all the critical mechanical components to drive the axes.

ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK
Alufast® fasteners facilitate lightweight construction
Alufast® aluminium screws from Arnold Umformtechnik are especially advantageous for joining magnesium components: transmission, housing, load-bearing, stiffening... Especially with material pairs exposed to thermal stress, they significantly enhance the security of threaded fastener joints. Furthermore, Alufast® aluminium screws weigh only one-third as much as equivalent steel screws. Particularly with large volumes the weight savings can amount to the equivalent of several metric tons of steel per year.
