The extension of the electrical machine portfolio helps customers to meet current challenges such as increasing price pressure combined with rising costs for labour, energy and materials as well as shortening product life cycles and faster product changes. To enable attractive investment costs and a rapid return on investment (ROI), the company relies on standardised equipment without compromising on quality and performance. So the new “Golden” combines a high level of precision with a slimline design at a particularly attractive price/performance ratio.
Significantly smaller installation area
Arburg has optimised the design of the machine so that the new Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric, with a width of just 1,848 millimetres, has a significantly smaller installation area than other machines in its class. This has been achieved through features such as a new safety door with recessed handles. At the same time, the door opening has been widened to 1,400 millimetres, making the ejector area more accessible, for example.
The slim Allrounder fits into existing production grids and lines. Thanks to the new design, more machines can be set up in injection moulding production, resulting in an increased output per square metre. This is of particular interest when old machine technology needs to be replaced. However, even for new production facilities that are being planned, every achievable space saving is a valuable resource. Thanks to the slim design, more machines can be set up in injection moulding production, resulting in an increased output per square metre.
Reliable, stable machine technology
The Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric features high-quality machine technology to ensure stable and reliable plastic parts production. This includes a toggle-type clamping unit and direct drives from subsidiary AMKmotion. With an electric mould height adjustment system, mould installation heights of up to 800 millimetres are possible. The drive components are optimised for a clamping force of 2,800 kN. Proven, high-quality Arburg plasticising with the “aXw Control ScrewPilot” ensures reproducible injection and excellent moulded part quality. Optimised mould venting with two-stage mould locking also plays a part in this. For convenient maintenance, the new electric Allrounder has the same control cabinet concept as the new hybrid machines. The lubrication unit and optional pneumatic system are easily accessible on the operating side. The parts chute in the machine base has been widened and is easily accessible.
Flexible in automation and application
The new electric machine is not limited to a specific product and is quickly available, which is particularly advantageous for short-term replacement purchases and capacity expansions. It is of interest to almost every industry and particularly suitable for technical injection moulding. Typical areas of application include dimensionally stable housings for electromobility, thick-walled closures for household goods, precision components for medical technology, and the construction and leisure industries.
The Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric is equipped with the Selogica ND control system as standard. If required, additional options and functions such as core pulls and heating and cooling circuits can be easily integrated and programmed. This means that a wide range of plastic parts can be produced flexibly, efficiently and reliably.
Furthermore, the new electric machine can be automated with linear Multilift robotic systems and six-axis robots from Arburg.
