machinery 33 www.smart-molding.com Plenty of free space for mould and ejector This is because Allrounder More ma - chines provide significantly more space for moulds, rotary units, media con - nections and a usable ejector stroke. The tie-bars have been extended by 200 millimetres as standard and the moving mould mounting platen has also been enlarged by 200 millimetres. The distance between tie-bars is 570 x 570 millimetres, and the maximum platen daylight 1,200 millimetres. The sliding guard has also been widened by 400 millimetres. Together, all these features facilitate accessibility to the mould area. The details make the difference Special emphasis has been placed on ease of maintenance and use. Among such features are plug-in me - dia couplings for electrics, water and hydraulics. The cylinder module can be changed in a few easy steps. The verti - cal injection unit can be conveniently positioned on a support frame, placed on the ground and transported sepa - rately from the machine if required. Thematerial is fed outside themould area so it cannot be contaminated by granules. Hose guides optimise hose routing and prevent possible chafing marks. With its numerous improvements to details and modular design, the new Allrounder More series meets all the requirements of a modern multi-component machine. It of - fers customers from a wide range of industries added flexibility for precision configuration and greater efficiency in the production of high- quality plastic parts made from dif - ferent materials and colours. Arburg at Fakuma 2021 "Wir sind da." At Fakuma from 12 to 16 October 2021 in Friedrichshafen Arburg's trade fair presentation will be focusing mainly on "The best of both worlds": "arburgXworld" and "arburgGREENworld". The Allrounder More series for ef - ficient multi-component injection moulding will be on show live for the first time. Further highlights will be the planetary roller screw drives de - veloped and produced in Lossburg and the trendsetting GESTICA control sys - tem. A total of nine machine exhibits will demonstrate innovate applications and processes. • Thin-walled IML cups for the pack - aging sector: • Blood test tubes and 2K fluid hous - ings for medical technology • LSR face masks • Hybrid parts • Additively manufactured compo - nents made from original plastic gran - ules and LSR materials.
