Ad-Vance Engineering welcomes Dr Paul Hanna from the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC)
Ad-Vance Engineering today welcomed Dr Paul Hanna and his technical team from the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC) Belfast to our facility, to view our fully electric Fanuc 100 ROBOSHOT injection moulding machine in operation which was supplied by JL Goor -Irelands leading supplier of Injection moulding machinery and polymer materials. Of special interest was its advanced AI-driven process control and energy-saving features that ensure consistent part quality while reducing total cost of ownership. Rodger Vance, MD of Ad-Vance Engineering also explained Fanucs tool capacities and shot weights which sets a new benchmark for precision and productivity in all-electric injection moulding. With increased clamping force, faster cycle times, and expanded mould capacity, the Fanuc ROBOSHOT 100 offers exceptional flexibility in a compact design.
In addition he outlined its ability to handle Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR),which is becoming the preferred choice for a wide range of applications, especially in the Medtech industry.
The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC), led by Queen’s University Belfast, is key to an exciting future for manufacturing in Northern Ireland, as an industry-led, open-access manufacturing and engineering innovation centre with state-of-the-art facilities and an expert engineering team, underpinned by academic excellence.
Ad-Vance Engineering and AMIC look forward to ongoing collaboration in the field of advanced plastics manufacturing.
