K 2013: Arburg presents over 10 exhibits, wide ranging IM solutions

Under the slogan of “Freedom has to be experienced!”, Arburg will place a central focus on the topic of production efficiency and, with more than ten exhibits, will demonstrate how plastic parts can be produced efficiently in the future. As always, top-class world premieres from the machine, process and applications segments will be presented at its booth (Hall 13, Stand A13).

“As a leading world fair for the plastics industry, the K has been and remains the best stage for Arburg to amaze the international trade public. And we will do so more than ever this year," says Michael Hehl, Managing Partner and Spokesperson for the Arburg Management Team. "In order to provide an initial impression of the trade fair programme, we have introduced selected world premieres and highlights in advance in the specialist press and on our website," adds Michael Hehl. “But some groundbreaking innovations simply can’t be put into words. They just have to be seen with your own eyes." The K communications campaign "Freedom must be experienced!" is aimed at precisely one such innovation. “That’s why there’s no alternative to personally visiting Arburg at the K2013 in order to step into the new age together with us.”

In accordance with the great significance of the K 2013 and of the exhibits, the 1,650 square-meter, two-storey exhibition stand will feature a new concept and design. For the injection moulding machine segment, the focus will be on electric and large Allrounders. With a total of five exhibits, the electric Edrive and Alldrive series will dominate. Three 3,200 and 4,000 kN machines will cover the higher clamping force range. In terms of the application spectrum, multi-component processing will feature prominently. The automation exhibits will range from simple removal solutions through to six-axis robotic systems for performing complex tasks.

Premiere of electric ALLROUNDER 820 A

Among the injection moulding machines, the electric Allrounder 820 A, which completes the high-end electric Alldrive machine series, will celebrate its world premiere in Düsseldorf. Both the 4,000 kN toggle-type clamping unit and the size 2100 electric injection unit have been newly developed for this machine. The gap between 3,200 and 5,000 kN in the electric clamping unit range has thus been closed. The same applies to the high-performance hybrid Hidrive range, for which this new toggle size will also be available in future. With the new clamping force and injection unit sizes for electric machines, the modularity of the Arburg range has been further enhanced, offering customers the option of adapting their Allrounders even more precisely to the relevant application and product, further increasing efficiency.

Premiere: six-axis robotic system suspended on linear axis

For the automation segment, Arburg will jointly present a world innovation with its cooperation partner fpt Robotik in the form of an Agilus six axis robotic system from Kuka with integratedNike Air Max
