Allrounder Trend makes its debut in Taiwan

TaipeiPlas 2026 will be held from 15 to 19 September at the Nangang Exhibition Centre in Taipei City. Arburg (TaiNEX1 1F, Stand K0727) will be showcasing its new Allrounder Trend electric standard machines in Taiwan for the first time. On display will be an automated exhibit producing the innovative ‘Donut-ella’ – a three-part USB cable winder.

“The new Allrounder Trend machines, equipped with the Gestica lite control system, enable a quick start to the injection moulding of standard components. They are cost-effective, available at short notice, particularly easy to operate and can be automated with robotic systems such as the Flexlift”, emphasises Mitchell Yang, Managing Director of Arburg Taiwan in Taichung. “With the innovative ‘Donut-ella’ application, we are showcasing our comprehensive expertise as a provider of complete solutions and demonstrating how our machine technology enables consistent quality to be achieved in the efficient production of high-quality plastic parts”.

Allrounder Trend: A new standard in injection moulding

The Allrounder Trend machines are suitable for standard applications across all industries and are available for immediate delivery worldwide. They impress with their low capital and running costs, as well as their ease of maintenance. This equips them to deliver a combination of high cost-efficiency combined with proven Arburg quality and a globally standardised level of service. All Trend machines are equipped with the new Gestica lite control system. This features an intuitive user interface and a clearly laid-out dashboard. There are currently four machine sizes available, with clamping forces ranging from 500 to 2,000 kN and injection speeds of 200 to 500 millimetres per second.

Innovative “Donut-ella” product

The exhibit, an Allrounder 1000 e Trend with a clamping force of 1,000 kN, produces the ‘Donut-ella’, which is shaped like a doughnut. This innovative product was developed by students. It won the ‘Pleiades’ design competition (Plastic European Innovation Award for Design and Sustainability) organised by the Italian IUAV University of Venice in December 2025. Arburg then rolled out this innovative application in collaboration with its partners Uniform (1+1+1-cavity family mould) and Ewikon (hot runner), which is being showcased at trade fairs around the world. At TaipeiPlas 2026, handling will be performed by a vertically entering Flexlift. This robotic system is optimally tailored to the requirements of customers in Asia and is only available there.

MES and customer portal actively support operators

Visitors to the Arburg stand can also gain a comprehensive overview of what ‘digitalisation’ means in practice. Among other things, Arburg’s own Manufacturing Execution System (the ALS) and the arburgXworld customer portal will be showcased. The Arburg MES helps to increase machine availability, reduce scrap rates and improve production efficiency and part quality. Using the tools integrated into arburgXworld, users can, for example, configure Allrounder machines, retrieve information about machines or order spare parts around the clock. In addition, the control systems’ assistance and pilot functions will be presented. These actively support the operator in day-to-day injection moulding operations.
