Preface
WITTMANN
Innovations since over 30 years
Since its establishment by Dr. Werner Wittmann with the
production of water flow regulators, WITTMANN a family
owned company has succeeded to become the leading
manufacturer of automation and peripheral equipment to
the plastics industry through relentless product development and highest product quality.
As a worldwide manufacturer WITTMANN offers a complete range of innovative peripheral equipment to the global
plastics industry. The product range includes robots and
automation systems as well as products for automated
material supply and drying, the recycling of plastic parts
and mold heating and cooling.
History
In 1976 Dr. Werner Wittmann started the company with the manufacture and sale of the
first WITTMANN water flow regulator. Only two years later the first WITTMANN
temperature controllers with integrated water flow regulators for direct mounting on the
molding machines went in production.
In 1983 WITTMANN entered the robot market and in 1987 introduced the first
removable teach pendant to the plastics industry.
From 1989 to 1992 WITTMANN further proved themselves with the introduction of the
patented vertical telescopic axis, the high-speed servo robot and the development of a
Real-Time CAN-Bus for the realization of decentralized controls.
In 1998 they entered into the drying market for plastic resin. In the same year
WITTMANN makes use of carbon fiber for the light weight construction of robots.
Further expansion of the product offering occurred with the entrance into the material
handling market in 1999. In the same year the SmartFlow valve was developed to allow
the intelligent distribution of dry air for drying systems.
In 2000 they enter the market for granulators, further providing WITTMANN with a wide
range of products to offer the plastics industry.
In 2001 a graphical editor for robot sequences, as well as, FLOWCON microprocessor
based water flow regulators are introduced to the market.
From 2003 to 2006 WITTMANN develops the energy saving and highly efficient
molecular sieve regeneration in short called SmartReg. WITTMANN introduces
screenless granulators with reversible combs and counter-combs. Further development
also occurs with the M7.2 a more advanced version of the material handling control
system which supports the integration of central drying systems and the use of RFID for
the contactless recognition of end-of-arm tools and connections on coupling stations.
In 2006 IML mold production starts and the introduction of the W7XH, a robot with
SCARA kinematics for the fastest possible horizontal removal.
From 2007 WITTMANN has been very busy with further development of another branch
of the peripheral equipment market that of gravimetric blending.
Innovations
CAN-Bus
R8 robot control
The relentless drive for innovation by the WITTMANN development team has helped mark the history of the company.
The slogan Progress through Innovation represents the inventive spirit, which has and continues to lead to numerous
industry firsts and patents in the field of peripheral equipment.
Gravimetric Blending
In 2007 the GRAVIMAX series blenders with Real Time
Live Scale (RTLS) measurement were introduced.
The RTLS technology provides free flow, coarse and fine
pulsing for the highest blending precision every
single batch.
SmartFlow
Screenless granulators
In 2003 a completely revamped generation of low
speed screenless granulators with reversible combs and
counter-combs was offered to the market. This resulted
in extended maintenance intervals and the highest
quality regrind possible.
Carbon-Fiber Technology
The consistent pursuit of lightweight robot construction
and reduction of moveable masses brings ever shorter
part removal times. In 1998 the first use of carbon
fiber materials on the vertical axis allowed speed
profiles that up until then were unheard of.
CAN-Bus
At the K 1992 show WITTMANN was the first robot
manufacturer in the plastics industry to introduce
decentralized control logic with real time data
exchange. The significant reduction in the number of
cables and at the same time secure data transmission
set a new standard in the industry.
DUO-Cooling
In 2008 WITTMANN introduced the first temperature
controller offering both direct and indirect cooling.
DUO-cooling offers on one hand the highest cooling
capacity and on the other hand, the most precise
cooling through an integrated cooling coil.
TEMPRO plus C
The single and dual zone TEMPRO plus C
temperature controllers are designed for
precise temperature control up to 250C
(for oil) or 180C (for water). Standard
features with TEMPRO plus C units are
additional cost options for other
manufacturers.
COOLMAX Chillers
High performance, portable chillers provide
cooling capacities ranging from 10 to 89kW.
The units are equipped with generously
dimensioned air condensers, automatic
filling, hermetically sealed compressors and
anti-freeze control.
Reliable
WITTMANN robots have achieved a leading
market position through their innovative
technology, performance and reliability.
The optimum design of these robots is based on 25
years of practical experience and tens of thousands
of applications in molding shops around the world.
WITTMANN offers its customers the best performing
robots and axes with the fastest motions.
Flexible
The robots series covers a complete range, with
numerous models and optional features. WITTMANN
is able to offer every user the optimum robot
with the best price/performance ratio.
Modular
Economical serial production and technically perfect
implementation are without question for WITTMANN robots:
whether for robots with telescopic vertical axis, robots
for the fastest horizontal removal, robots for stack molds,
Ultra-High Speed robots or robots with rotational axes for
applications requiring the maximum degree of freedom.
Servo Robots
The servo robot series span a range of payloads from
3 to 125 kg, permit fastest part removal times and
therefore, quick amortization of the investment. All
robots are equipped as standard with three highly
dynamic servo motors and cutting edge control
components, allowing a complete range of time
saving motions.
Pneumatic Robots
Special solutions
The modular design allows for special configurations
like robots for horizontal removal and SCARA robots for
the fastest removal of thin wall parts.
Controls
The innovative WITTMANN TeachBox has defined
the industry standard in regards to simplest use and
flexibility, without the need for an external control
cabinet.
10
FEEDMAX Loaders
Individual loaders for the flexible conveying of smaller
material volumes for up to 100 kg/h. These stainless
steel units are perfectly suited for critical and abrasive
applications.
Blenders
Volumetric and gravimetric blenders with
precise material throughput for up to
5,000 kg/h. GRAVIMAX blenders provide
Real Time Live Scale (RTLS) measurement and are equipped with an adaptive
3-step dispensing valve to precisely blend
every single batch.
11
Granulators
12
MAS Series
The MAS series compact granulators have conventional
knives and a screen for the versatile granulation of
plastic materials. Pre-adjustable knives allow for
excellent quality uniform regrind during the lifetime
of the unit. Tangential feed cutting chambers improve
the intake of parts.
SUMO Series
MC Series
The MC series granulators are intended for both
beside-the-press and central granulation of runners,
parts and various scrap. Quick and easy knife
maintenance with pre-adjustable knives, guarantees
constant rotor diameter for the highest regrind quality.
In-Mold Labeling
Mold Making
Turnkey IML systems including the molds are the
specialty of WITTMANN. Their hot runner molds are
designed specifically for thin wall parts and offer
extremely rugged mold construction and optimized
cooling.
