Battenfeld injection moulding: refit & controller replacement
Overgenomen door Wittmann Group in 2008 na faillissement van de voormalige Battenfeld Kunststoffmaschinen.
Battenfeld machines are reliable and long-lived, but the original BC, TM and HM controllers are end-of-life. GCG replaces them with modern Siemens S7-1500 or Beckhoff TwinCAT while preserving all machine parameters and cycle times.
