KraussMaffei powerPrint Flex
By KraussMaffei
The KraussMaffei powerPrint Flex is a modular manufacturing cell with a six-axis robot for printing large parts from pellets.
KraussMaffei describes the powerPrint Flex as a scalable cell for material extrusion with a six-axis robot. The standard configuration includes a Comau N-170 robot; customisation is possible. According to the manufacturer the in-house printCore extruder processes technical and fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, including glass- and carbon-fibre-filled PC and PEI. The cell can be expanded modularly, for example with a rotary table or milling cell. The stated output depends on the material feed system. Availability in the Netherlands has not been confirmed.
