Automated Allrounder 370 H for fast cycles
Of particular interest to trade visitors from the electronics industry is the Allrounder 370 H Ultimate with Gestica controller, 600 kN clamping force and 290 injection unit: with a fast cycle time of just seven seconds and a 16-cavity injection mould, the exhibit produces relay sockets from a 30 per cent glass-fibre-filled PBT. The Flexlift 5 with a payload of five kilograms removes the sprue and the moulded parts, which are then deposited separately downstream according to cavities.Allrounder 1600 T: Six-axis robot at work
Finally, the Allrounder 1600 T with 2,000 kN clamping force and 170 injection unit is likely to attract the attention of customers from the mobility sector. Supported by a Kuka six-axis robot with a load capacity of ten kilograms, fluid connections and connecting parts are produced from polyamide 6 with 35 per cent glass fibre content (PA6 GF 35) and metal inserts. The products are produced in a 4-cavity mould in a cycle time of around 40 seconds. This automated turnkey system was customised to include a punching unit with punching strip conveyor and a PIN removal system. The Kuka six-axis robot was also implemented at the Arburg Technology Factory Pinghu.The Flexlift robotic system was specially developed for the Asian market and is also only available there.
