Optimum processing of BMC moist polyester
© Arburg
Arburg is to present all facets of its innovative injection moulding technology with ten exhibits at the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen from 14 to 18 October 2008. The main focus of the trade fair stand will be energy-efficient injection moulding production and innovations in the field of robotic systems.
Complex production cell with six-axis robot
The Allrounder 570 S with a clamping force of 2,200 kN will also be presented for the first time at the fair. This is the new machine size of the hydraulic Allrounder S machine series, which was first introduced at the K 2007. Optimum processing of BMC moist polyester will be demonstrated on this exhibit through the production of an insulating rail for a domestic iron. For this purpose, the Allrounder 570 S will be equipped with a position-regulated screw, a newly developed screw compression device for optimal material feed and an integrated mould heating system. Thanks to feed pressure control specially developed for this application, the servo-motor driven feed screw of the screw/injester unit enables gentle and very consistent material preparation, even in the case of large shot weights. The finished moulded parts are removed and subsequently processed fully automatically by a six-axis robot from Kuka.
About Arburg
Arburg, a German machine construction company, is one of the leading global manufacturers of injection moulding machines for plastics processing with clamping forces between 125 kN and 5,000 kN. Fields of application include the production of plastic parts for motor vehicles, communications and consumer electronics, medical technology, domestic appliances and packaging. The product range is completed by robotic systems, complex projects and other peripherals. Arburg’s operations are coordinated by an integrated management system and are DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001 certified. Arburg is represented by its own organisations in 23 countries at 31 locations and by trading partners in more than 50 countries.
