BAIER BINSPIRE

Series-ready individuality - you can resolve this apparent contradiction with BAIER BINSPIRE. This hybrid machine combines sensor integration via Functional Foil Bonding (FFB) for touch operation, and customization via digital printing in one machine unit.

IMD foil feed units of the C/SI/SI-DUO series

Do you want to decorate endless films, single-image films, or even two designs at the same time? KURZ has the right machine for every application. For applications in the automotive industry, for example, the C series is the equipment of choice for you. For double foil processing of endless decors, this series is also available with the TWIN feature. The SI series is the ideal choice for consumer electronics. It allows you to position individual image decoration in both the X and the Y direction. An innovative way to simultaneously decorate two different designs is the patent-pending SI-DUO series. Two plastic components can be provided with different single-image or even endless decorsin one operation. For example, you can design a component with a dead-front design and a black surface in our day design, and a backlit touch panel in our night design. The second surface can be transparent, with a scratch-resistant topcoat and an exceptional look. To ensure that both decors are applied accurately, extreme precision is required. This is ensured by sensors in the feed unit, which align the register marks of the IMD film with an accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimeter. At the same time, the components can be converted into functional surfaces through In-Mold Electronics (IME), by integrating a touch sensor from KURZ subsidiary PolyIC.

Embossing stamps and tools made of silicone and metal

Perfect embossing requires perfect tools. KURZ subsidiary Hinderer+Mühlich offers the right tools for every application: silicone flat and molded stamping dies, large dies, embossing wheels and rollers, silicone pads, metal dies, workpiece holders, and positioning aids. Our silicone tools compensate for unevenness in the plastic part and guarantee sharp edges. Using different silicone thicknesses also allows for sophisticated peripheral embossing on cylindrical, conical, and non-round parts. Thanks to our high-performance silicone dies, the embossing tools also reach their operating temperature extremely quickly. Metal dies made of brass or steel are particularly suitable for low-tolerance plastic parts or plastics with a high plastification point. They are used, for example, in medical devices or rulers. In addition, we also produce dies for motifs, holograms, and signature fields on credit and customer cards. Our expertise extends from simple dies to highly complex 3D workpiece holders. Always perfectly matched to the purpose, geometry, and motif of the embossing.

 

ISIMAT - fully automatic printing presses

For unusual hollow bodies, platen presses, or tubes with sophisticated shapes, KURZ subsidiary ISIMAT is the partner of choice. When planning, we not only consider your product requirements and technical specifications, but also individual requirements for decorating glass or plastic containers. You will also receive the right printing solutions from us, which we integrate into your process chain, be it as stand-alone or inline solutions. Due to the modular design of our systems, you can choose from various control and design solutions. Our portfolio ranges from standard machines through customer-specific systems to hybrid machines. In addition, you can combine different printing technologies in one machine, such as silk-screen printing, varnishing, and hot stamping.
