Tailored for Asia: Introducing the Allrounder E Golden Edition Electric Evo Series and Flexlift Robot Arm

●Local Solutions for Local Needs: Arburg presents intriguing technologies tailored to the Asian market at Chinaplas

●Highlights: Automotive, medical industry, and automation solutions

●Turnkey Provider: Arburg offers comprehensive services to customers

From April 15 to 18, 2025, Arburg will showcase captivating technologies tailored to the Asian market at Chinaplas, held in Shenzhen, China. At booth F41 in hall 12, two Allrounder E Golden Edition Electric Evo series will exhibit reliable LSR production and efficient medical product manufacturing. Centered around the Allrounder vertical turntable machine, the turnkey system will fully automate the production of connector components for China's burgeoning automotive sector. The special exhibition area of arburgSOLUTIONworld, encompassing automation, digitization, and service themes, will complete the exhibition presentation.

'Chinaplas serves as the most significant platform in Asia to demonstrate our "Local Solutions for Local Needs" strategy. With the Allrounders Golden Edition Electric Evo series and Flexlift robot arm, we present products specifically designed for Chinese and Asian customers, offering cost-effectiveness and swift delivery times. Moreover, we design and manufacture local automation solutions in Pinghu,' explains Tong Chao, General Manager of Arburg China. 'As a technology and system partner, we provide comprehensive support to customers, ranging from single injection molding machines to turnkey solutions, digitization, and our services.'

Electric Production of LSR Parts and Medical Products

The two Golden Edition Electric Evo series at Chinaplas fully showcase the capabilities of Allrounder electric injection molding machines. Compared to standard hydraulic machines, dry cycle times can be reduced by up to two seconds, and energy requirements can be cut by up to 50%.

The Allrounder 470 E Golden Edition Electric Evo, with a clamping force of 1000 kN, utilizes Fangyi's 160-cavity cold runner mold to produce burr-free sealing elements weighing 0.06 grams each from Wacker's liquid silicone rubber (LSR) with an injection accuracy of 0.01 mm. These LSR injection molded parts protect individual wires in automotive connectors from liquid penetration.

The Allrounder 570 E Golden Edition Electric Evo, featuring a clamping force of 2000 kN, will demonstrate the efficient production of prefilled syringes using COP (cyclic olefin polymer), a glass substitute material. COP is transparent and possesses barrier properties similar to glass but is virtually unbreakable and more cost-effective to produce. The exhibit is equipped with an 8-cavity mold from Younaixin. The Flexlift 10 linear robot arm gently removes the syringes from the mold and places them on a conveyor belt.

Turnkey System for Fully Automated Overmolding of Injection Molded Inserts

Electric vehicles and the automotive industry as a whole are gaining prominence in China. An advanced turnkey system tailored to this industry will be exhibited at Chinaplas 2025. The Allrounder 1600 T vertical turntable machine, with a clamping force of 2000 kN, sequentially overmolds metal inserts into high-voltage modules for automotive connectors. A small six-axis robot feeds the inserts into the system via a transfer platform and stacks the finished parts. A second large six-axis robot places the metal inserts into the half-mold of the injection mold. After overmolding with glass fiber-reinforced PBT, it transfers the pre-molded part to the rear half of the mold, where the finished part is produced by overmolding again.

Comprehensive Offerings: Automation, Digitization, Service

With decades of expertise in injection molding, automation, and digitization, Arburg offers a broad spectrum of services enabling customers to manufacture products efficiently, swiftly, and to a high standard. The arburgSOLUTIONworld exhibition area brings together consulting expertise on all these topics. Arburg experts will also address individual queries and introduce the Arburg Central Management System ALS, the arburgXworld customer portal, as well as a range of spare parts and calibration services. Flexlift will also be in the spotlight. This modular linear robot arm can be precisely customized to individual requirements, for instance, with application-specific drives, valve blocks, and variable control cabinet positioning.
