ARBURG at NPE 2024

The ALLROUNDER 720 E GOLDEN ELECTRIC is characterised by electrical precision and process stability and offers high component quality combined with low investment costs and rapid availability. Its design has been optimised so that it has a significantly reduced installation area compared to other machines in its class. This means that more machines can be accommodated in the same injection moulding production area, which in turn results in an increased output per square metre. The new machine is suitable for a wide range of plastic parts and cycle times from around 15 seconds. The "golden" electric ALLROUNDER can be automated with all ARBURG robotic systems, including six-axis robots. The exhibit at NPE2024 will produce razor covers using a 24-cavity mould, with handling performed by a MULTILIFT V 30 linear robotic system.

In Orlando, a total of 13 exhibits at the company's own stand and those of its partners will demonstrate the broad product range across a wide variety of processes and all industries – from 3D printing to high-volume injection moulding of packaging items.

At the trade fair, all the ALLROUNDER machines will be interlinked with the ARBURG host computer system ALS via OPC UA interfaces. This central MES enables the entire plastic parts production process to be digitally planned and controlled and all relevant information to be tracked. Digitalisation expert Jürgen Peters, Head of Software Development, will give a presentation on the advantages of integrating peripheral equipment via OPC UA at NPE2024's "Innovation Stage" on Tuesday, 7 May.
