SkinRIM technology for making cast skins
The automotive industry is setting ever more exacting standards in every respect. Manufacturers demand more design freedom, greater safety, better visual appearance, less weight and lower costs. Hennecke's SkinRIM is a technology that meets highest require-ments in the production of instrument panels.

 

Process
SkinRIM cast skins are made in closed moulds. The skin thickness - typically between 0.5 and 3 mm - is actually defined by the gap between the two mould halves.

Technology
The system utilises an HK machine that is usually fitted with an MX or an MQ mixhead. The 4-component MQ type is suitable for metering two different colours. Also used are stationary production systems with add-on mixheads or rotary tables.


SkinRIM advantages:
Significantly lower fogging and emission rates
Reduced odour
Very little waste
Edges and radii accurately producible
Very fine surface structure
Touch and appearance can be modified
Parts can be reinforced selectively
