ALLROUNDER TREND – the new global standard

The world premiere of the ALLROUNDER TREND heralds an exciting new era. With this launch, ARBURG is adding completely redeveloped electric machines for standard applications to its portfolio of proven high-end technology solutions. Allrounder Trend machines are specifically designed for current market needs. They are quick to set up, very simple to operate and maintain, and produce molded parts with exceptional reliability and energy efficiency.

Simple and cost-efficient production of molded parts

To ensure that injection molding plants can respond flexibly and manufacture their products competitively, despite frequently changing orders in increasingly fast-moving markets, ALLROUNDER TREND machines have short delivery times. Generally, the time frame from order to delivery from the factory is only around four weeks. With their modest investment and operating costs, the Trend machines offer a fast return on investment (ROI) and low total cost of ownership (TCO). The purchase therefore pays off, even with short machine running times. This also makes ARBURG interesting for completely new markets that require the efficient and precise production of high-quality molded parts under intense cost pressure. The particularly slimline design ensures a compact installation area and space-saving production, resulting in increased output per square meter.

The electric ALLROUNDER TREND machines – quick to set up, intuitive to operate, and easy to maintain.

Quick and easy set-up and productive operation

The intuitive control system and intelligent assistance functions allow fast onboarding of even unskilled employees. Convenient set-up and changeover are ensured by features such as the large, accessible mold installation space as well as cleverly arranged interfaces close to the mold for the pneumatic and electronic systems as well as the cooling water. Peripheral devices can be effortlessly connected using plug-and-work and the cylinder module can be quickly replaced if necessary. This means that the machine can be up and running quickly, which saves time and resources. When it comes to training personnel, ARBURG offers new training concepts in the form of eLearning and remote training courses.

Simple and intuitive operation

The TREND machines feature the new GESTICA lite control system variant, whose intuitive interface with its clear dashboard is easy for even unskilled personnel to use. This is because the focus here too is on simplicity: the user interface offers everything the user needs for their work, at a glance. This includes information about the order, information about the active process, and direct access to the most important parameters – all intelligently and actively supported by assistance functions. The detailed parameter pages for the clamping and injection units can be accessed directly from the dashboard using the touch function.

Simple and convenient maintenance

ARBURG also attaches great importance to ease of maintenance and low maintenance requirements. For improved accessibility and convenient changeover, the safety gate has been substantially enlarged and the gate at the injection unit can be opened wide in two stages. The maintenance points on the injection and clamping units, for example for grease lubrication, are easy to access without any special tools. For those who wish to maintain their machine themselves, digital support including installation instructions are available directly on the control machine: the "aXw Control MaintenanceAssist" explains the tasks to be completed using step-by-step video tutorials. For those who prefer maintenance to be carried out by ARBURG Technical Support, a global service network and globally standardized maintenance contracts with tailored services are available.

Easy to extend and automate with options

If necessary, options can also be retrofitted. For example, up to two serial core pulls and freely configurable I/O interfaces can be added. The control cabinet is equipped with numerous slots. For getting started with digitalization, the machines are prepared for an IIoT gateway so they can be interlinked with the arburgXworld customer portal or the ARBURG host computer system (ALS), for example. For automated molded part production, the ALLROUNDER TREND machines can be equipped with ARBURG robotic systems, such as the linear MULTILIFT SELECT 4, and a suitable compact guard, and can also be integrated into complex turnkey systems. In general, all ARBURG robotic systems can be used and fully integrated into the machine controller.
