For you.", KraussMaffei will showcase its capabilities at K 2025 (Düsseldorf, October 8th - 16th) as a comprehensive solution provider along the entire polymer processing value chain. The focus of injection molding technology, automation and additive manufacturing will be on the latest technologies for maximum efficiency, top component quality, sustainability and consistent digitalization. The trade fair highlights include the new all-electric PX series with intuitive MC7 control, the new Chopped Fiber Processing (CFP) process, an automated assembly line as well as digital solutions and innovations in additive manufacturing.
"What sets KraussMaffei apart is the unique combination of innovative mechanical engineering, profound expertise in process technology and intelligent digital solutions. And this in the areas of injection molding, automation, reaction process machinery, extrusion and additive manufacturing," explains Jörg Stech, CEO of KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH. This portfolio is complemented by a global, high-performance service that supports customers throughout the entire product life cycle - with fast response times, maximum availability and digital tools such as the pioneersClub. "Our aim is to develop future-proof and sustainable solutions for our customers. Cost-effectiveness is clearly our top priority - and that's exactly what we'll be demonstrating live at K 2025 in Düsseldorf."
PX series redefined: Compact, powerful, sustainable
A highlight at the KraussMaffei stand will be the world premiere of the all-electric PX injection molding machine series. The new generation impresses with outstanding energy efficiency, excellent shot weight consistency and short cycle times. The machines offer a wide range of applications and high overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) "The new PX machines from KraussMaffei are the most advanced injection molding machines on the market. Their attractive price-performance ratio and long service life make them a future-proof investment for our customers," explains Jörg Stech.
In addition to cost-effectiveness, the new series also focuses on sustainability: thanks to state-of-the-art drive technology with energy recovery, minimal media consumption and a resource-saving machine concept, the PX machines achieve top values in terms of energy efficiency, both in operation and in idle mode. With their compact design, they also enable flexible production cells with integrated handling and conveyor technology - perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern production.
Live at K: New PX series with new LRXplus linear robot
At K 2025, KraussMaffei will be showcasing the new all-electric PX series in combination with the new LRXplus linear robot. The LRXplus series offers a wide range of functions for flexible automation and is characterized by a high level of compatibility, both with KraussMaffei injection molding machines and with systems from other manufacturers as well as with various automation tasks.
Visitors to the trade fair can experience the efficient combination of PX machine and LRXplus robot live at the KraussMaffei booth. Future-oriented applications for medical technology, technical components and packaging/logistics will be on display.
New MC7 control generation: More power, more operating convenience
With the MC7, KraussMaffei presents a modern, web-based control platform. It impresses with its intuitive operation, powerful software and hardware architecture and the highest security standards. The MC7 architecture already includes the upcoming requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This means that the control system is even better protected against cyber-attacks and the distribution of malware. The CRA standard also makes it easier to connect machines to the network for digital data usage.
Another feature of the new MC7 control system is the new, web-based visualization concept, which impresses with its intuitive user guidance, clear display and extended functionality. The new interface makes set-up, operation and maintenance easier and increases efficiency in day-to-day production.
