Live at K-Show: Roctool Slashes Cycle Times in High-Heat Molding Demonstrations
. Live molding of PEI & PEEK at over 200°C with radically shorter cycles and exceptional part quality at Roctool
booth Hall 15, C41
. Displaying 10 mm optical lenses, with 50% shorter cycle time compared to conventional processes
. New Ultra-Compact Air-Cooled induction generators running live at the booth
At K-Show 2025, Roctool will unveil live demonstrations never seen before at this event: high-temperature molding with
unmatched speed, quality, and efficiency. The demonstrations will take place on the Roctool stand with a KraussMaffei
injection molding machine, Roctool's long-standing partner at trade shows.
The KM CX 80 is equipped with the new LRXplus linear robot.
For over 20 years, Roctool has been perfecting its proprietary Heat & Cool induction technology, heating mold surfaces
to the right temperature in seconds, then actively cooling them. The result: shorter cycles, flawless surfaces, and
lower energy consumption. Unlike traditional oil or hot water systems, Roctool's "dry" induction heating is clean,
safe, and highly reliable.
. Engineering Resins molded at 200°C+
Roctool will run during the show, a 2-cavity tool producing precision housing in PEI+GF and PEEK:
-- Mold temperature up to 300°C, for example heating from 130°C to 230°C in just 9 seconds
-- 40% cycle time reduction compared to standard processes
-- 30% energy savings per shot versus traditional molding
-- Superior surface quality: no weld lines, no exposed fibers, no surface defects
-- Roctool technology can also push molds up to 300°C when required, opening the door for thin-wall and advanced
designs that conventional thermoregulation cannot match.
. Game-Changer for Lenses & Optical Components
Roctool will showcase 10 mm thick PMMA and PC lenses:
-- Up to 50% cycle time reduction thanks to rapid high-temperature induction heating, followed by low-temperature
cooling.
-- Ability to mold very thick lenses in a single shot, with a short cycle time.
A breakthrough in optics and lighting for thick-walled applications, including light guides and headlight components.
This technology overcomes the cooling limitations that have long challenged optical injection molding.
. Why Roctool is Different
Traditional systems (oil, hot water, resistive heating) can't reach such high temperatures quickly and suffer from long
cooling times. Roctool climbs above 300°C in record time, then cools rapidly with colder water.
Every cycle benefits from precise thermal control, offering:
-- Shorter production cycles and lower costs than conventional molding
-- Greater process efficiency compared to traditional methods
-- Higher and more consistent part quality than standard molding
. Management Statement
"At this year's K-Show, we are proving live that Roctool's advanced induction technology achieves cycle times never
seen before for high-heat resins, offering production stability and superior part quality, while delivering significant
energy savings." Mathieu Boulanger, CEO of Roctool.
. Partnerships at K-Show
These demonstrations are powered by Roctool's latest Heat & Cool systems, with the mold manufactured by Moldetipo
(Portugal). Live runs will take place daily on a KraussMaffei CX 80 with the new LRXplus linear robot with
high-performance materials from SABIC (ULTEM PEI+GF) and SYENSQO (KetaSpire® PEEK).
