23/10/09 – ARBURG's presence at Fakuma 2009 was a success. The main focus on energy efficiency and sector-specific solutions attracted a great deal of interest from trade visitors and was perfectly in tune with the current requirements of the injection moulding industry. As hoped, the Fakuma struck a positive note for the future.
The quality and level of interest among trade visitors were high. Arburg engaged in numerous in-depth technical discussions and even managed to get specific projects with customers from Germany, Europe and overseas off the ground.

The topic of energy efficiency took centre stage. The range of applications of the large electric ALLROUNDER 720 A has been expanded further with the new electric size 1300 injection unit. The hybrid ALLROUNDER Hidrive now features the entire spectrum of ARBURG modularity. It is thus possible to equip these high-performance machines with servo-electric ejectors, different injection units or the MULTILIFT robotic system, for example.

Energy efficiency is increasingly focussing on the entire production, organisation and planning process. There was therefore considerable interest among trade visitors in the SELOGICA feature “Power measurement and energy consumption display”, the ARBURG host computer system, preventive maintenance and special service as well as energy efficiency training.

Highlights in the field of production cells were the convenient programming of the MULTILIFT robotic system via a teach-in function and of a six-axis robotic system through the implementation of the SELOGICA user interface.

There was also an excellent response to the special sector-specific solutions. The presentations included the manufacture of high-precision components for optics and technical injection moulding as well as high-speed applications from the fields of medical technology and packaging.
The comprehensive offering is rounded off by individual and sector-specific application technology consulting.
