Highlight on energy efficiency  
The main focus of ARBURGs appearance at the trade fair is energy efficiency. For this purpose, ARBURG present two energy-efficient electric ALLROUNDER: an ALLROUNDER 520 A, with a clamping force of 1,500 kN, demonstrating a packaging application and an ALLROUNDER 470 A demonstrating an LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) application. The latter machine features a clamping force of 1,000 kN and a size 400 clamping unit. Equipped with an LSR dosage station, it will produce inflatable seals in a cycle time of 40 seconds on an eight-cavity mould made by Rico.
 
Modular and flexible: the S machine series  
These flexible ALLROUNDER S are suitable for all applications. Three machines from this series is presented at the Plast: A large ALLROUNDER 720 S with a clamping force of 3,200 kN, the smallest ALLROUNDER 170 S and a three-component ALLROUNDER 370 S. A film reel will be produced on the ALLROUNDER 720 S with a clamping force of 3,200 kN.
A unique micro injection moulding application is being demonstrated on the ALLROUNDER 170 S with a clamping force of 150 kN and a size 30 clamping unit, featuring a 12-millimetre, position regulated screw: Micro gear wheels weighing 0.001 grams will be produced in a cycle time of 9.5 seconds on an eight cavity mould.
A further automation solution will demonstrate the complex possibilities offered by combining production, insertion, functional-integration and assembly operations in the machine and mould: A fully-functional LED light strip will be produced in a cycle time of around 40 seconds on a three-component ALLROUNDER 370 S with a clamping force of 700 kN and a MULTILIFT V robotic system.

Economical ALLROUNDER GOLDEN EDITION  
Since the autumn of 2008, a further innovation has been added to the range: the ALLROUNDER 470 C GOLDEN EDITION with a clamping force of 1,500 kN in conjunction with a MULTILIFT V SELECT robotic system. With this new combination, ARBURG offers a complete production unit, including guarding with electrical connection, conveyor belt and CE certification. It will be shown a Gas-Injection-Technology-System. Two drumsticks, each with a weight of 42 grams, will be produced in a cycle time of 45 seconds.
 
Vertical 375 V machine  
To complete the range of exhibited machines, ARBURG will present its vertically-operating ALLROUNDER 375 V with a clamping force of 500 kN, which will be equipped with a servoelectric rotary table at the Plast. The two mould halves of the rotary table allow the insertion and removal of encapsulated inserts during the injection moulding process. Because they feature the free-space system, the ALLROUNDER V models can also be easily integrated in production lines.
