In November 2022, we were able to take delivery of our new Hermle precision 5-axis milling machine in the tool shop. It has a traverse path of 650 x 650 x 500 mm and a disturbance circle of Ø 840 mm. The machine can be loaded with 1000 kg and has a tool storage of 86. The spindle with a speed of 25'000 enables us to produce the workpieces efficiently. With this new machine we would like to remain true to our principle that a good plastic injection moulding company operates a modern and technologically advanced mould shop.

We can only produce the parts for our customers as good as the moulds are. Therefore, we continue to invest in our in-house mould construction in order to be constantly up to date.

SKS AG will be at the Swiss Plastics Expo at the Lucerne Exhibition Centre from 17 to 19 January 2023. We look forward to seeing you and will be happy to treat you to some snacks and drinks at stand A-1000.

For free trade fair admissions, please contact Ms Andrea Häusermann at verkauf(at)sks-laupen.ch.

We are looking forward to your visit.

Our previous surface grinding machine is getting on in years and has therefore been replaced in the last few days by this new Ziersch Z48 surface grinding machine. With it, we can cover a grinding range of 800 mm on 500 mm with a transverse movement of 450 mm. The solid cast construction of all machine parts brings stability, precision and a maximum possible table load of up to 700 kg. Operation is via a large 10.4 inch touch screen colour display. The sanding machine works much faster than the previous one and is also state-of-the-art in terms of safety and environment. The entire working area of the machine is enclosed and the exhaust air is extracted and filtered. 
This surface grinding machine is a further step in the future-oriented investments at SKS AG Kunststoffe & Werkzeugbau.

At the end of December 2021, a 120 t. machine was replaced by the 130 to. machine, the 80 t. machine was purchased as part of a capacity expansion. We now have 43 injection moulding machines.

The new injection moulding machines are specially equipped with a removal robot and a lateral discharge conveyor belt. This makes it possible to produce parts on a cooling line or to deposit and package parts separated by mould cavity. Both machines are fully electric and enable us to manufacture with high precision and very high repeatability to ensure the required quality.

As an ISO 14000 certified company, we always strive to invest in the latest technologies and to produce in an energy and environmentally friendly way.

SKS AG will be back at Fakuma this year from 12 to 16 October 2021 in Hall B2, Stand B2-2107 in Friedrichshafen. This 27th International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing is the world's leading trade event for injection moulding. We would be pleased to invite you for snacks and drinks and look forward to your visit.

We look forward to seeing you!
