Tandem RIM system speeds molding of small parts. (Keeping up with RIM/Urethanes).
A RIM system with a new "tandem" pump arrangement is designed for high production with filled systems. The Comet 6/6 system from Krauss-Maffei Corp., Florence, Ky., uses two metering pistons Pistons can mean: - Piston, the engine and engineering part
- Detroit Pistons, the basketball team
for each component to provide non-stop, pulsation-free metering. Precise linear electric drives coordinate each pair of pistons so that one piston accelerates while the other decelerates, providing a constant total output. One piston then refills while the other continues emptying. Small parts can be molded in fast cycles on a turntable A playback machine for vinyl phonograph records, which were a major music distribution medium throughout the 20th century. The turntable contains a rotating platter to hold and spin the disc and an arm that holds a cartridge and needle (stylus). or conveyor without need to wait for a cylinder to refill refill noun A second allotment of a prescription agent obtained from a pharmacy, which is allowed by the original prescription verb Pharmacology To obtain more of a particular drug, after the initially prescribed amount of the agent has been used or . The system is also suited to larger parts because maximum part weight is not dependent on cylinder capacity cylinder capacity n → cylindrée f
cylinder capacity n → cilindrata . Tel: (606) 283-0200, www.krauss-maffei.com
