Smart Molding International 3-2021

machinery 32 smart_molding international 3/2021 A rburg is launching a new series for production-efficient multi- component injection mould - ing: the Allrounder More, with its particularly flexible configuration, can now be perfectly adapted to specific customer and market requirements. The machines offer increased space for larger moulds, greater modularity during assembly, as well as numerous optimised features for greater ease of use and simple maintenance. “Multi-component injection mould - ing is a very significant and very de - manding process. As a pioneer in this sector, we have more than 60 years of technical applications-based exper - tise. Our ultra-modern range of ma - chines has been developed upon this foundation”, explains Gerhard Böhm, Managing Director Sales and Service at Arburg. “We very much look forward to the Fakuma trade fair, at which we shall be showcasing the newAllrounder More which covers requirements down to the smallest of details. The first ma - chines will be available to order from October 2021.” Electric clamping combined with flexible injection All Allrounder More machines are equipped as standard with a highly dynamic electric toggle-type clamp - ing unit with energy-efficient liquid- cooled servo motors. At series start, the machines have two electric injec - tion units and a clamping force of ei - ther 1,600 or 2,000 kN, as required. In future, it will be possible to select injection positions using modules. At series start, one horizontal and one vertical injection unit (V-position) will be available as standard. Horizontal L-shaped (L-position), parallel verti - cal or parallel horizontal (P-position), and angular (W-position) injection units will additionally be available as options. This will enable all common two-component applications to be realised. More space: larger mould dimensions and ejector strokes, and greater distances between tie-bars, more modularity: flexible injection positions for injection units, and more ease of use: plug- in media couplings and optimised material feed — with multi- component injection moulding. The Allrounder More series will be on show live for the first time at Fakuma this October. Simply more: Allrounder More!
