Arburg is to present the electric Allrounder 570 and a production cell built around a hydraulic Allrounder 370 S with a Multilift V robotic system at the FIP 2009 trade fair on 16-19 June.
The company will also exhibit an electric Allrounder 570 A with a high-speed application at the event.
Products including the Arburg host computer system (ALS) as a production management system will also be presented at the fair.
The complex production cell will feature a hydraulic Allrounder 370 S with a clamping force of 600kN (60tonf) and a size 170 injection unit.
The system will demonstrate the encapsulation of inserts and the integration of downstream assembly steps.
The Allrounder operates with an Arburg Multilift V robotic system, which enters vertically into the mould and is fully integrated in the Selogica machine-control system.
A toy buggy made from PP will be produced.
In a single injection-moulding cycle, the plastic wheels are encapsulated onto two metal axles and the roof and chassis are produced.
In this application, the complex gripper of the robotic system inserts the metal axles, removes the sprue and the individual components and subsequently assembles them to produce the finished toy car.
On an electric Allrounder 570 A, a high-speed thin-walled application will be demonstrated.
The machine has a clamping force of 2,000kN (200tonf) and a size 800 injection unit, with a maximum shot weight of 434g of PS.
The moulded part is an egg box for four eggs, weighing 15.6g and is produced in a cycle time of 2.3s.
With this application, Arburg will demonstrate the high performance of its electric Allrounder A machines in terms of speed and precision.
The main axes, with servo-electric drive as standard, enable simultaneous movements and short cycle times.
Depending on requirements, the auxiliary axes can either be driven electrically like the main axes, or hydraulically by means of an integrated small-accumulator hydraulic system.
A further advantage of these electric Alldrive machines is their low energy consumption.
Ensuring consistently high product quality, optimising production capacity utilisation and minimising downtimes to enhance the energy efficiency of production processes will become increasingly important in ensuring cost-effective production in the future.
For this purpose, Arburg said its ALS provides an ideal control and monitoring instrument between production planning and the production process itself.
A further advantage is that injection-moulding machines from other manufacturers can be connected.
