Benefits at a glance
No limits
With ALLROUNDERs, you can master any process and transform the most varied of materials into resilient components for interiors, exteriors and engine compartments.
Tailor-made
We configure your injection molding machines precisely to your requirements. So you can process thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and liquid silicones with ease.
Innovative
Technical parts, textured parts, optical parts: Use innovative processes for the mobile sector such as fiber direct compounding and film technology.
Flawless
Precise, small, resilient, sophisticated – but are your products flawless too? Yes! Automated production cells also integrate upstream and downstream steps.
Example electromobility
Charge port
Charge port
Charging electric vehicles: ARBURG machines produce components for wall boxes as well as for the charge port on passenger cars.
Ventilation components
Ventilation components
Ventilation nozzles with adjusting brakes are used for car air conditioning. Such hard-soft components (e.g. PBT and LSR) can be mass-produced on a multi-component ALLROUNDER.
Rear-view mirror unit
Rear-view mirror unit
Rear-view mirror units contain numerous components made of plastic. By means of LSR coupling pads, rain/light sensors can be optimally connected to the windscreen.
Headlights
Headlights
The injection-compression molding process is predestined for LED attachment lenses. By linking injection molding and foaming, sealed housings for car headlights can be produced.

Lightweight construction
Saving costs, increasing efficiency, conserving resources, reducing CO2 emissions – ARBURG solutions for lightweight construction bring a wide range of benefits to road, rail and air.
Sample components
FDC housings
Cable drive housings made from PP with 30% long glass fibers (incinerated on the left) produced in the FDC process have a resilience similar to that of parts made from PBT and are also 30% lighter.
icam connector
icams assist with parking. A secure connection between the camera and the electronics is ensured by eight-pin connectors with seals, manufactured on a two-component rotary table machine – two million units per year.
Rain/light sensor
LSR compensates for curvature: a rain/light sensor can be perfectly connected to a car windscreen using a coupling cushion. The liquid silicone is injected onto a PBT frame into which the sensors are inserted.
