Servomold increases investment in medical application
Servomold, a global specialist in the automation of injection molds, is increasingly focusing its activities on the medical technology sector.
The company has invested almost EUR 5 million in the local expansion of its site in Germany, which was only completed in 2018, to a total of 1650 m², 750 m² of which is production space.
Servomold has invested in expansion of its existing site.
The associated extensive measures, which were implemented within just 6 months, included the installation of a fully air-conditioned production cell and the acquisition of a high-precision 5-axis milling machine for the production of components with accuracies in the µm range.
Servomold has expanded quality assurance by integrating a separately air-conditioned measuring room with state-of-the-art measuring and testing technology.
The current order situation at Servomold confirms the course that has been set. At the turn of the year 2024/25, the share of the medical technology application area was already reaching 60%, with an upward trend.
The remaining 40% is mainly divided between pharmaceutical, packaging and fluid technology and, to a lesser extent, automotive technology and miscellaneous industries.
SLY servo-electric core pullers
The SLY servo-electric core pullers were launched at Fakuma 2024. With extremely high production accuracy, they are able to position slides and cores in the injection mold with µm precision and significantly simplify the production effort for mold making.
The fully assembled, µm-precise SLY core puller.
Their servo-electric drive and minimum quantity lubrication of the guides and spindles are specifically designed to be used in clean rooms. Both are fundamental requirements for manufacturers of sleeve-shaped components such as housings and cartridge holders for auto-injection systems.
More medical technologies
Over the past two years, Servomold has emphasized its expertise with a number of successful developments.
In addition to the SLY core pulling units, these include the SLA servo linear actuators, which are also suitable for cleanrooms, and the compact servo screw actuators of the SSA series, which move slides, cores or plates in injection molds powerfully and at high speed.
