Problem
Limited machine capacity in the laboratory prevents rapid material sampling.
Solution
Automated sampling with OSPHIM reduces manual effort and speeds up testing procedures.
Result
Significantly shorter cycle times and increased machine capacity — without additional investment.
RESULT
More Output from Existing Resources
By reducing the time required per mold trial, AKRO-PLASTIC was able to significantly increase throughput in their laboratory without investing in additional machines or infrastructure.
Higher utilization of existing machines
Faster time-to-result for new materials
Reduced operational bottlenecks
SOLUTION
Automated Mold Trialing
Using the OSPHIM Experimentation Manager, mold trialing was fully automated on an Arburg 520A machine. Machine parameters were set automatically, eliminating manual adjustments and enabling a structured, data-driven experimentation process.
Fully automated parameter setting
No manual intervention required
Structured experimentation workflows
Integrated data acquisition and analysis
PROBLEM
Limited Machine Capacity slows Production
Machine time is critical and limited, additional investments usually the last resort. At AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, each mold trial competes for scarce production capacity, slowing down material validation and development processes.
Limited machine availability for trials
Manual setup consumes valuable time
Master-Settings were determined over time
