05/11/2008 - Wicklow based Conductix-Wampfler have recently updated the machinery in their injection moulding area with the acquisition of two new ARBURG 320 C 500-170 GOLDEN EDITION injection moulding machines.

Conductix-Wampfler, who are now part of the Delachaux group, are leading suppliers of data and power transmission systems. They offer a complete service from initial design to final manufacture offering both standard and bespoke solutions with applications across a wide range of sectors including Cranes; Ports; handling systems; transport and construction. Conductix-Wampfler believe their strong market position is greatly supported by the large amount of in-house manufacture carried out at the Baltinglass site in County Wicklow where they have been operating since 1974.

Conductix-Wampfler studied the market thoroughly before selecting ARBURG as their partner for the future. Now the machines have been installed Conductix-Wampfler have started to see the benefits of programming tools using the SELOGICA Direct touch screen control system., these benefits have been in both the speed of tool setting and also cycle time.
