4 Injection moulding machines Innovative: electric ALLROUNDERs Dynamic and with a high degree of repeat accuracy: electric drive technology made by ARBURG. 1 Rapidity In the electric ALLROUNDER machines, the main axes for injection, dosing as well as opening and closing the mould are servoelectrically driven as standard, and therefore fully independent of one another. High acceleration and final speeds combined with simultaneous machine movements result in greater cost-efficiency by reducing the cycle time. 2 Precision On the electric ALLROUNDER machines, play-free and direct-acting spindle drives provide for mechanically rigid drive axes and correspondingly dynamic movements. Combined with the excellent positioning accuracy of all servo-electric drives, this permits the highest degree of reproducibility and part quality. Absolute position encoders make movement to a reference position unnecessary. With its ALLROUNDER injection moulding technology, ARBURG has repeatedly set benchmarks. Moreover, we are systematically pursuing this goal with our electric ALLROUNDER machines. What does this mean for you? That components such as spindles, motors and their control are exclusively selected on the basis of the strictest criteria for function and quality. Whether you wish to enter into the world of electric machines with our effective EDRIVE machines, or mass-produce high-end moulded parts with our highprecision ALLDRIVE models; whether you operate in the medical technology, packaging or automotive sector: you are always guaranteed optimum efficiency and cost effectiveness.

6 Injection moulding machines Productive: hybrid ALLROUNDERs Perfect combination: electric and hydraulic drive technology. 1 Production capacity The hybrid ALLROUNDER machine concept has been configured with the particular aim of achieving high production capacities. The machines provide high injection performance in relation to the relevant clamping force, and combine: servo-electric clamping units from the ALLROUNDER A and generously dimensioned injection units with hydraulic accumulator technology 2 Reduced cycle times All movement axes operate completely independently from one another. In this way, simultaneous drive movements can be achieved whatever the application. Dosage across cycles permits optimum, uniform material preparation, a reduced material temperature and therefore shorter cooling times. Finally, the extremely short dry cycle times of the servo-electric clamping unit provide for fast cycles. Our hybrid ALLROUNDER machines enable you to achieve high performance in cycle-time optimised thermoplastics processing. With the HIDRIVE machine series, we combine the best from the ARBURG modular system: a powerful combination of sophisticated electrical and hydraulic machine technology. Reliable, highly-functional and energy-efficient that s how the ALLROUNDER H machines work in your production. Day after day, 24 hours around the clock.

10 Injection moulding machines Ergonomic: vertical ALLROUNDERs High flexibility: product range with a variety of machine concepts. 1 Ergonomics A high degree of ergonomics is particularly important during the processing of inserts, in order to organise manual operations as conveniently and efficiently as possible. In the case of the entry-level ALLROUNDER V machine, this is achieved by means of the so-called vertical free-space system for the clamping unit. Tie bars are dispensed with, rendering the mould freely accessible from three sides. 2 Application versatility The entire technology of the vertical ALLROUNDERs can always be matched precisely to the specific injection moulding task. This is achieved through: the wide range of clamping forces and injection units the flexible vertical and horizontal arrangement of the injection units. task-specific equipment packages, such as for silicone processing If you intend to use vertical injection moulding machines in your production facility, we currently offer the widest range in the entire industry. Our vertical ALLROUNDERs are designed especially for the encapsulation of inserts. Our extensive product range extends from the ALLROUNDER S, featuring the ALLROUNDER principle with swivelling clamping unit and interchangeable injection unit, our entry-level vertical model, the ALLROUNDER V, the flexible ALLROUNDER T vertical rotary-table machines, through to customer-specific, specifically configured vertical machines. Furthermore, a wide variety of equipment options and possible combinations are available. The choice is yours: whatever your application requires. Further information: Vertical ALLROUNDER product information /2011

11 3 Automation In order to enable simultaneous insertion and removal of items during the injection process, machine versions with rotary or sliding tables are also available. This enables shorter cycle times and thus higher productivity. The versatile configuration options ensure that vertical ALLROUNDER machines can also be easily integrated in automated production lines. 4 Process reliability As you would expect from ARBURG, the injection units of the vertical ALLROUNDERs offer the customary high plasticising and moulded part quality. The position-regulated screw enables reproducible injection movements which are equally accurate to those of electric machines. The rotary tables of the ALLROUNDER V and T are generally servo-electrically driven. This makes them extremely fast and precise. 5 Space optimisation The greatest advantage of the ALLROUNDER entry-level machines is their compact design and small footprint. The scope for planning the installation of the machines remains correspondingly flexible. Full and problem-free integration in differently designed production lines is also possible.

16 Injection moulding machines Sector-specific: the right solution for each industry 1 2 You produce high-quality plastic products for the automotive, packaging, communications and consumer electronics, medical or optical sectors? Or technical moulded parts, for example for the sanitation, white goods, sports and leisure or toy industry? Then ARBURG is the right address! In addition to our ALLROUNDER injection moulding solutions, which are precisely tailored to your application, we offer detailed application technology consulting: the ARBURG experts know the requirements of the various sectors down to the last detail, and provide targeted assistance in selecting and configuring your ALLROUNDER from our comprehensive range. 1 Automotive The implementation of innovations at ever shorter intervals is a characteristic of the automotive sector. Safety, design and weightreduction of the components are important factors here. A wide variety of different plastics are processed: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and LSR often combined using the multi-competent injection moulding process. Hard-soft combinations are playing an increasingly important role. Fluid injection technology, in-mould labelling and decoration as well as foaming are further core competencies in this sector. A high degree of automation in order to produce high-quality moulded parts cost effectively is also a prerequisite. Here, injection moulding technology offering a high degree of availability is required, which comprehensively meets the highly complex requirements while always being open to new processes and technologies: in other words, real ALLROUNDERs in terms of equipment! 2 Packaging When it comes to speed and productivity, packaging technology makes by far the highest demands. Machine performance must also be fully utilised without sacrificing quality and availability. Short cycle times along with the highest quality and availability are ensured with the ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines. Whether it be thin-walled sections, IML products, screw caps or preforms ARBURG s modular machine range makes it possible. Moreover, ARBURG cooperates very closely with the relevant packaging sector experts with regard to moulds and peripherals in order to make optimally matched turnkey solutions available /2011

17 Electronics The requirement profile of the electronics sector is as varied as the sector itself. For the adornment of surfaces for example, processes such as in-mould labelling and decoration must be mastered. In the case of connectors, however, the encapsulation of inserts (hybrid technology) and the positioning accuracy of the clamping unit are decisive. Highly temperature-resistant plastics often play a significant role, the processing of which requires special injection units. In order to achieve this economically with high precision and quality, a wide variety of production concepts and ALLROUNDERs are employed. Whether it be vertical machines, rotary table machines, manual or automated insertion and removal or reel-to-reel encapsulation ARBURG has a suitable solution for all applications. 4 Medical/optical applications In the medical and optical sectors, precision and cleanliness are paramount. During the production of mass-produced and disposable items such as syringes, the machines must also display high-speed qualities. A wide variety of materials are used, including liquid silicone or metals and ceramics, which are processed using powder injection moulding technology. In order to comprehensively meet the high quality requirements, the process sequence is of great importance. With ALLROUNDERs, for example, sophisticated compression injection moulding processes can be implemented conveniently using the user-friendly SELOGICA control system. Depending on their field of application, products frequently have to be produced under clean-room conditions. ARBURG provides flexible and customised clean--room solutions for this purpose all from a single source. 5 Technical injection moulding Complex geometries and high functionality of the components are important requirements which must be met in technical injection moulding. For this purpose, application and mould concepts, as well as materials are further and newly developed on an ongoing basis, for example multi-component, assembly and functional injection moulding, powder injection moulding or the EXJECTION process. In many sectors, the products are becoming increasingly small and the significance of micro injection moulding is increasing accordingly. In order to produce these complex components in high volumes, automation, i.e. the relevant robotic technology has an important part to play. Here, ARBURG offers everything from a single source: from comprehensive consulting and precisely adapted ALLROUNDERs through to complex production cells. 07/
