ARBURG at Plast 2026

At Plast 2026, an automated electric ALLROUNDER 1000 e TREND will produce the innovative product "Donut-ella" – a three-part reel for USB cables – as a giveaway. The injection molded part, which resembles a doughnut in shape, won the "Pleiades" design competition (Plastic European Innovation Award for Design and Sustainability) held by IUAV University in Venice, Italy in December 2025. A MULTILIFT SELECT 8 linear robotic system places the three individual parts on a conveyor belt and assembles the top and center parts. The bottom part is added manually after the cable is inserted.

A technically sophisticated turnkey solution based around an ALLROUNDER MORE 2000 will also be on display. The two-component machine produces two-tone dominoes. The injection molded parts are made up and packaged by a MULTILIFT V 30 linear robotic system and a cobot working hand in hand to produce a complete game set.

The continuous processing of solid silicone (HTV) into cable ties will be demonstrated by a hybrid ALLROUNDER 470 H. The injection molded parts are produced using a 2+2-cavity mold in a cycle time of around 30 seconds. The machine is equipped with a silicone package and a customized injection unit.

A vertical ALLROUNDER 375 V with rotary table produces rollers for pneumatic and hydraulic pistons in a cycle time of around 35 seconds. A fully automatic system with a six-axis robot handles the feeding and removal of the inserts as well as quality control and ensures stable cycle times and process reliability.

As a provider of complete solutions, ARBURG also offers its customers numerous digital products and features. This includes a proprietary MES (the ARBURG host computer system), the arburgXworld customer portal, and the GESTICA control system with its smart pilot and assistance functions. The GESTICA lite variant also features an intuitive interface with a clear dashboard that is easy to use even for non-qualified personnel and provides everything needed for daily work at a glance.
