Arburg is showing nine exhibits at its own stand, plus ten additional machines on partner stands. At Fakuma, the company is debuting the Allrounder 520 H – the company’s latest addition to the hybrid Hidrive series. Featuring innovative machine technology that is designed to save energy and conserve resources, the new Allrounder is production-efficient, user-friendly and reliable, the company claims. The optimised energy footprint and reduced cycle times. on show for the first time at Fakuma 2023.
The exhibit, an Allrounder 520 H "Premium", will use a 1+1+1-cavity mould to produce three different moulded parts from ABS in a cycle time of around 50 seconds: a machine base, a feed hopper, and a controller. These three components are subsequently separated from each other in a cutting station and round off a set of 15 parts for a model Allrounder on a scale of 1:18. In this application, the Moldlife Sense computer system enables sensor-controlled mould monitoring over the complete life cycle. The recorded data is passed via an OPC-UA interface directly to the Gestica control system, which displays corresponding malfunctions as well as performance-dependent maintenance intervals, thereby enabling predictive maintenance. The new Multilift Select 8 linear robotic system with an eight kilograms load removes the moulded parts and places them in a box. A box changer ensures an autonomy of about two hours.
