07/07/2009 - In the context of the International Rubber Conference (IRC) trade fair, ARBURG demonstrated its comprehensive competence in the field of multi-component injection moulding. An elastomer/thermoplastics application was presented for this purpose. The exhibit comprised an automation solution built around an energy-efficient electric ALLROUNDER 470 A with two horizontal injection units in an L-configuration and a vertically-operating MULTILIFT V robotic system.

The response to the ARBURG trade fair stand and to the exhibit were very positive, according to Eberhard Lutz’s (ARBURG Sales Director Germany) summary of the four-day exhibition: “Automation solutions with integrated production steps for the cost-efficient production of complex parts have become a permanent feature in the field of injection moulding. In Nuremberg, we proved the reliability of our control of the entire process chain in the area of highly-automated elastomer/thermoplastic processing. Our specialist knowledge and many years of experience in machine, control and robotic system technology, as well as our range of application technology consultation services, make us a competent partner for our customers.”
