Joining forces for quality

At this year’s LIGNA trade fair in Hannover, Henkel is represented as a member of Gütegemeinschaft Dreidimensionale Möbelfronten e.V., a quality association for three-dimensional furniture fronts. Founded in March 2011, the association has set itself the task of establishing a verifiable quality system with the aim of introducing an RAL quality mark. The initiators of this quality association include furniture front manufacturers 3B, Arko and Ilcam as well as finish foil producer Renolit SE and representatives of the panels industry.

Verifiable and reproducible production parameters are a basic prerequisite for achieving consistently high quality standards in the manufacture of furniture fronts. With the aim of supporting efforts in this direction Henkel already began some years ago to develop metrics and equipment enabling customers to incorporate quality control directly into ongoing production. To draw attention to the significance of quality and innovation in the production of furniture parts, Henkel has joined the recently established quality association Gütegemeinschaft Dreidimensionale Möbelfronten e.V.

System solutions for optimizing process parameters

Henkel has developed a series of system solutions that make it possible to assure consistently high quality levels in furniture front manufacturing. The 3D Profiler enables line operators and line suppliers to track, control and optimize process parameters which are otherwise difficult to determine. ProControl is a system for precise measurement of adhesive application amounts, helping to maintain a balance between quality and costs. The closed Clean System was designed to facilitate the application of one-component 3D adhesives. 3D thermoforming technology is used to produce to produce a variety of parts, including up-market kitchen furniture fronts. The adhesive holding the components together – the panel substrate and the finish foil – plays a vital role here.

Innovative adhesive solutions for the furniture industry

DORUS FD 150/6 LS has a low activation temperature of 55 degrees Celsius. The lower the processing temperature in the press, the longer the life of the membrane. Other features characterizing this one-component 3D PU dispersion adhesive are its high heat and moisture resistance and its extremely high initial bond strength. By maximizing processing reliability, DORUS FD 150/6 LS helps to increase productivity in furniture part production.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
