"We have a number of pioneering innovations and visionary technology concepts up our sleeve for the K 2016 international show," explains Michael Hehl, Managing Partner and Spokesperson for the Arburg Management Team. (Resource: Arburg)
New is the electric entry-level Golden Electric machine series. They feature proven, high-quality technology at an attractive price/performance ratio. This is made possible through standardised components, such as a fixed combination of distance between tie-bars, clamping force and injection unit size. The entry-level Golden Electric series is available in four sizes, 370, 470, 520 and 570, with clamping forces from 600 to 2,000kN. At the K 2016, an Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric with a clamping force of 1,000 kN and a size 290 injection unit will be used to produce a technical part. The current trend are lightweight construction, silicone and high-speed machines. Profoam is one of the processes that the company promotes for the efficient production of lightweight yet strong components from plastic. The physical foaming technique, which enables low-distortion parts with a homogeneous foam structure to be produced using conventional injection moulding machines, will be shown at the K 2016 on the basis of an automotive application. Dynamic mould temperature control will used to produce a high-gloss surface. Innovative cube mould technology specially designed for the packaging industry will be presented in a world premiere. A further complex application is the two-component injection moulding of a wristwatch from two different liquid silicones, including assembly of the watch casing.
