JSW, iMFLUX unveil collaboration

Japan Steel Works America Inc. and iMFLUX plan to integrate iMFLUX processing software into all of JSW America’s injection molding machines (IMMs).

The collaboration will bring iMFLUX’s low-constant-pressure capabilities to JSW’s high-speed all-electric presses, a combination the companies said is particularly advantageous for packaging applications.

IMFLUX plans to hold a virtual event on July 20 to demonstrate the use of its processing technology on a JSW machine.

With headquarters in New York, JSW America supplies IMMs from its parent company, Japan Steel Works, to the U.S. market. Hamilton, Ohio-based iMFLUX is a wholly owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble Co. Its processing software integrates machine learning to allow equipment to run more reliably with fewer operator adjustments.
