Arburg Presents Next-Gen Electric Machines and Robotics in China
- Customised For Asia: Allrounder E Golden Electric Evo And Flexlift RoboticSystem
- Local-to-local: Arburg presents interesting technologies for the Asian market at Chinaplas
- Focus: mobility, medicine and automation
- General contractor: Arburg provides customers with everything from a single source
At Chinaplas from 15 to 18 April 2025 in Shenzhen, China, Arburg will be presenting interesting technologies for the Asian market. At stand F41 in hall 12, two Allrounder E Golden Electric Evo machines will demonstrate reliable LSR processing and the efficient production of medical bulk items. A turnkey system centred around an Allrounder rotary table machine will produce connector components fully automatically for the mobility sector, which is growing in China. Special exhibition areas for arburgSOLUTIONworld, including the topics of automation, digitalisation and service, round off the trade fair presentation.
“Chinaplas is the most important platform in Asia for presenting our local-to-local strategy. With the Allrounders Golden Electric Evo and the Flexlift Robot system we are showcasing products that are specifically interesting to our customers in China and Asia at an attractive price-performance ratio and short delivery times. In addition, there are local automation solutions that we implement in Pinghu with local partners,” explains Zhao Tong, Managing Director of the Arburg organisations in China. “As a technology and system partner, we offer everything from a single source and also provide our customers with comprehensive support in the turnkey business, in digitalisation and with our services.”
Electrical machines for LSR and medicine
The two Chinplas exhibits from the Golden Electric Evo series impressively demonstrate the performance of these electric, very precise Allrounder injection moulding machines. Compared to standard hydraulic machines, dry cycle times are reduced by up to two seconds. In addition, the energy requirement can be reduced by up to 50 per cent.
An Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric Evo with a clamping force of 1,000 kN uses a 160-cavity cold runner mould from Fangyi to produce sealing elements weighing 0.06 grams each from liquid silicone (LSR) from Wacker – burr-free and with an injection precision of 0.01 millimetres. These LSR injection-moulded parts are used to protect the individual wires in automotive connectors against the penetration of liquid media.
An Allrounder 570 E Golden Electric Evo with a clamping force of 2,000 kN will demonstrate the production-efficient manufacture of prefillable syringe barrels from the glass substitute material COP (Cyclic Olefin Polymer). COP is transparent and has similar barrier properties to glass, but is virtually unbreakable and more cost-efficient to produce. The exhibit is equipped with an 8-cavity mould from Unistar. A Flexlift 10 linear robotic system gently removes the moulded parts from the mould and places them on a conveyor belt.
Turnkey system overmoulds inserts fully automatically
Electromobility and the automotive industry in general are becoming increasingly important in China. A sophisticated turnkey system for this industry will be on show at Chinaplas 2025. The centrepiece is an Allrounder 1600 T rotary table machine with a clamping force of 2,000 kN, which sequentially overmoulds metal inserts into high-voltage modules for automotive connectors. A small six-axis robot feeds the inserts into the system via a transfer platform and also stacks the finished moulded parts. A second, large six-axis robot places the metal inserts in one half of Concraft’s injection mould. After overmoulding with glass fibre-reinforced PBT, it transfers the pre-moulded parts to the second half of the mould, where the finished module is produced by overmoulding again.
Comprehensive: automation, digitalisation, service
Arburg has decades of expertise in injection moulding, automation and digitalisation and offers a wide range of services that enable customers to manufacture their products efficiently, quickly and to a high standard of quality. The arburgSOLUTIONworld exhibition area brings together consulting expertise on all these topics. The Arburg experts will also answer individual questions and present, for example, the Arburg host computer system ALS, the arburgXworld customer portal and the range of spare parts and calibration services. The Flexlift will also be in focus. This modular linear robotic system can be customised precisely to the respective requirements – e.g. with application-specific drives, valve sets and variable control cabinet positioning.
