CHINAPLAS 2014: Efficient industry-specific solutions from Arburg

ARBURG has been aware of the importance of CHINAPLAS for a number of years and will again exhibit high-end injection moulding technology in 2014. The three exhibits to be shown on stand E1G01 in Hall E1 are precisely tailored to the needs of the key industries for the region – packaging and electronics. 

“With their strong growth rates, the markets in China and Asia are very important for us. We are therefore active at the local level here and have, for example, significantly improved customer support with our distribution warehouse near Shanghai, which we opened in 2013. We are in a position to deliver individually adapted Allrounders and Multilift robotic systems much faster than before in the region. The high level of customer satisfaction confirms that we have made absolutely the right choice,” says Helmut Heinson, Managing Director Sales. Because of the dynamic technical development in these countries, Arburg regards the Chinaplas as an important presentation forum for its high-end injection moulding solutions.

With their modularity, the company’s Allrounder injection moulding machines can be equipped for specific applications or industries. Arburg will be showing sophisticated examples of this during the show.  

In order to meet the high demands of the packaging industry, Arburg offers Packaging versions (P) of the hybrid and electric Hidrive and Alldrive high-performance machines. These combine high productivity and reduced energy consumption and are characterised by a well-balanced combination of distance between tie-bars, clamping force and opening stroke. Moreover, they provide precise, energy-saving mould movements (thanks to servo-electric toggle-type clamping units), high plasticising performance (thanks to barrier screws and servo-electric dosage drives), dynamic position-regulated screws and effective injection volume flows. Arburg will present the benefits of these machines at the Chinaplas 2014 with two Allrounder 570 H machines in the "Packaging" version. 

All the components in the production cell for the packaging industry are precisely coordinated. The Packaging version of the hybrid Allrounder 570 H produces four IML tubs in a short cycle time of around four seconds. The high performance machine features a clamping force of 1,800 kN and a size 800 injection unit. It is equipped with an IML system from French automation and in-mould labelling specialists Sepro Robotique and Machines Pagès. The 4-cavity mould from Swiss manufacturer Kebo was adapted for the high-speed production of IML tubs, while the labels come from Belgian suppliers Verstraete. 

Hotmelt: reliable seals for electronic components

The Hotmelt process for overmoulding electronic components will also be demonstrated on a vertical Allrounder 275 V with a clamping force of 250 kN and a size 100 injection unit. The thermoplastic Hotmelt adhesives can be used over a wide range of temperatures and feature excellent adhesion on polar plastics. This makes them highly suitable for overmoulding sensitive electronic components, as found in the automotive sector for example. The low mould cavity pressures required for injection moulding are aZapatillas y ropa deportiva para ni?o
