"Our customers and prospective customers are looking for modular, customisable drive systems and cost-effective automation. This is exactly what we are presenting with an automated injection moulding application and an attractive giveaway."
Hybrid machine technology reduces costs and cycle time
Launched on the market in 2023, hybrid Allrounders from the Hidrive series with new hybrid machine technology combine an energy-efficient and precise electric clamping unit with a powerful and dynamic hydraulic injection unit. They come in s 470, 520 and 570 with clamping forces of 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 kN and in "Comfort", "Premium" and "Ultimate" performance variants. Allrounder Hidrive machines are particularly good at saving energy and resources, and are also efficient in production, reliable and user friendly. Particularly impressive features include reduced purchase and operating costs, an optimised energy footprint and reduced cycle times. Thanks to a wide range of options, the machines can be customised precisely to the respective requirements. Smart assistants and robotic systems can be integrated into the Gestica control system.
Hybrid Allrounder 470 H to produce beverage jugs
At Plast Eurasia 2024, a hybrid Allrounder 470 H “Premium” with a clamping force of 1,000 kN and a single-cavity mould will be producing transparent beverage jugs made of polycarbonate (PC) in a cycle time of around 31 seconds per jug. A Multilift Select 8 linear robotic system with a load capacity of eight kilograms will be responsible for the quick and careful handling of the 0.5-litre, thick-walled moulded parts.
The "Premium" performance variant achieves dry cycle times of 1.2 seconds. The standard equipment includes the "Arburg electro-mechanical dosage" (AED) function for longer dosing and hydraulic accumulator technology with the “Arburg servo hydraulic system “(ASH). All axes of motion can be controlled and moved independently of each other via separate control valves.
