system solutions for maximum productivity.

All ALLROUNDERs in the Packaging (P)

version offer:

fast, precise, energy-saving mould move-

ments, through servo-electric toggle-type

clamping units

high plasticising capacities, through

barrier screws and servo-electric dosage

drives as well as

dynamic injection flow and energy-

efficient operations, through hybrid

fully-electric drive concepts.

The modular drive technology means that

the best possible system design can be

achieved for every application. High-end in-jection moulding technology, such as

liquid-cooled servo motors, automatic

clamping force control and planetary roller

screw drives are a guarantee of

economical operation.

Targeted process optimization

The freely programmable, graphic-based

SELOGICA machine control system enables

even complex sequences to be transparently

managed. The real-time plausibility check of

all entries during programming is a major

advantage. Application-specic production

sequences can be put together without re-

quiring special programs.

Special functions help operators to get the

best out of all processes. Aiming for short

cycle times? No problem with the cycle time

diagram and synchronous sequences. Con-

trolled start to production required? Easy

Basis: adapted design

The reliability of injection moulding

machines over their entire service life

depends not least on their design. The

special Packaging (P) ALLROUNDER

versions ensure:

rpermanent process reliability, thanks to

their stable machine bases

r low mould wear, thanks to precisely

guided clamping units with symmetric

force application

rminimal mould breathing, thanks to

FEM-optimised mounting platens

In addition there are generously dimen-

sioned clamping ranges with plenty of free

space for complex moulds.

'HEKGPVUGTXQGNGEVTKEVQIINGU[UVGO

The servo-electric toggle-type clamping

units of the hybrid HIDRIVE-P and electric

positioning of the servo electric clamping

unit also leads to more reliable removal.

Important: high plasticising capacity

Correspondingly high plasticising capacity is

often crucial in the production of packag-

ing. So-called barrier screws, in which the

compression zone has been replaced with a

barrier zone, ensure homogeneous melt

preparation. The cylinder modules are

highly wear-resistant and thus ensure a long

service life. The servo-electric direct drive

permits dosage across cycles, precise

Highly dynamic: servo valves arranged near the

point of application.

Application-oriented: variety of technical details

Packaging

A collection of technical components

only becomes a fully functional produc-

tion system when you are supported by

a reliable partner throughout the entire

value-added chain. A partner like us: as

system provider, we always maintain

the overview. We combine the injection

moulding machine, mould and automa-

tion, as well as competent service.

Whether in-mould-labelling or multi-

component technology, machine con-

guration or turnkey projects: we offer

you a broad range of technical details

for specic applications that will sat-

isfy every demand. In this way, we can

always provide you with a suitable pro-

duction solution.

Fast, dynamic injection

Highly dynamic lling during injection

moulding is decisive for thin-walled items.

This is the only way to achieve the shortest

injection times on a reproducible basis. As

well as high acceleration, active braking is

also important. This is assured by the unsur-

passed, position-regulated screw from

ARBURG. This is achieved by means of hy-

draulic servo valves and servo-electrically

powered planetary roller screw drives for

correspondingly fast movements.

Synchronous, powerful ejection

Fast cycles are also inuenced to a signi-

cant extent by a fast, reliable ejector.

ARBURG also has practical solutions on

offer for this important detail. The

combination of servo-electric toggle-

type clamping unit and servo-electric

ejector is extremely powerful and

results in short opening and clos-

ing times thanks to the precise,

reproducible dropping of

moulded parts. The hydraulic

booster function means that

even shrunk-on closures can be

demoulded with ease. Force is

applied evenly in all mould cavi-

ties through the use of ejector

platens with several eccentric

ejector pins.

High precision: servo-electric ejectors with

booster function.

Fast actuation: valve clusters with large cross

sections for pneumatic functions.

Tailored expansions

Large valve clusters help with the

fast actuation of pneumatic func-

tions in the mould. Mould cool-

ing can be optimised through

customer-specic cooling wa-

ter distributors with feed

lines measuring up to two

inches. A dry air device

above the clamping unit

prevents the formation

of condensation.

System solutions for packaging

As system service provider, ARBURG also

handles the project planning of complete

systems, commissioning at the customers

premises, CE labelling, as well as training

and support. This is made possible through

close cooperation with leading manufactur-

ers of moulds, automation systems and

peripheral devices.

Highly customised: media connections in the

vicinity of the mould.

Effective cooling: connection lines with large

cross-sections.

Freely programmable: SELOGICA control system

1Flexible sequence management

The SELOGICA can be congured ideally to

suit the specic production application se-

quence, with no need for special programs.

Synchronisation of movements is individu-

ally adjustable, depending on the paths or

forces. Equally unique: all signals can be

monitored for optimum process and quality

control, as well as process reliability. Theproduction sequence is controllable, de-

pending on machine, mould and peripheral

signals. Follow-up functions can be individ-

ually selected. Example: production will only

start if compressed air is available. Only the

SELOGICA offers operators so much free-

dom when conguring ALLROUNDERs.

Firmly under control: synchronous entry of the

high-speed removal systems.

Maintaining control over sophisticated

machine, mould and robotic technol-

ogy is the domain of SELOGICA. With

this setting and monitoring system,

you can quickly set up both simple and

complex injection moulding processes,

operate them intuitively and perform

reliable optimisation. In other words:

central management. All technical fea-

tures of the SELOGICA control system,

such as the graphic sequence editor, are

also ideally suited for the production

of packaging items and aimed at mak-

ing operation faster, more reliable and

more convenient. Here too, ARBURG

provides you with decisive application

advantages: because we have alreadyintegrated all the necessary functions

for high-quality and cost-effective part

production in the SELOGICA system.

Packaging

Application examples

Injection moulded plastic packaging

is on the advance, offering universal

design options, for example. In order to

ensure that optimum performance is

achieved in your business on a daily

basis using multi-cavity moulds, speed,

a high degree of reliability and qual-

ity are essential. These are precisely

the features that characterise our

ALLROUNDER technology. As system

service provider, our concern is with

complete solutions from a single source

with machine technology that is pre-

cisely tailored to the specic individual

application. Professional advice, from

the planning stage and installation

on site through to service, round offour offer. This ensures that you are al-

ways on the safe side when it comes

to packaging.

1Complex two-component

bottle caps

ARBURG cooperates with established experts

to develop perfectly harmonised complete

solutions. The best example of this is the

combination of innovative mould technol-

ogy with a two-component ALLROUNDER

to produce water bottle caps. The machine

technology can be adapted individually to

the mould, e.g. through corresponding fex-

ible arrangement options for injection units.

ARBURG handles the complete integration

of the mould functions, such as servo-elec-

tric turning, in the machine.

2In-mould closing of ip-top cap

The integration of functions is always an

important issue in the packaging sector

with its high requirements in terms of cost

efciency. In the case of ip-top caps for

shampoo bottles, the open cap can actually

be closed inside the mould, for example.

The exible SELOGICA machine control sys-

tem offers signicant advantages here.

Thanks to the detailed, congurable se-

quence management feature, the produc-

tion sequence can always be ideally adapted

to the relevant application. The intuitive hu-

man/machine dialogue lends transparency

to complex sequences and makes the pro-

duction process easy to control.

Efcient: fully integrated mould technology impresses with its reliable processes and

short cycle times.

High-quality: ip-top caps are closed directly

in the mould.

372 screw caps in 3 seconds

Multi-cavity moulds that produce large unit

volumes in a matter of seconds are the

dominant technology when it comes to the

production of screw caps. In addition to a

correspondingly large plasticizing capacity

implemented with barrier screws and high-

performance drives for the shortest possible

dosage times, there is a particular require-

ment for powerful servo-electric ejection

that can be synchronised with the mould

movements. All other components of the

system, such as cooling sections and visual

part inspections are also coordinated in ac-

cordance with the application. This is the

only way in which production can runquickly, reliably and to a high quality.

4Reliable label insertion

Those wanting to produce containers in

large unit volumes in a single process step

with the appropriate labels using the in-

mould labelling process (IML), can rely on

us to provide a complete turnkey solution.

As systems supplier, ARBURG designs and

congures such systems individually, in line

with requirements. Speed, functional relia-

bility and cost efciency are important key-

words here. This is provided mainly by the

servo-electric toggle-type clamping unit

with its extremely short dry cycle times,

energy recovery during braking and high

positioning accuracy.

5Long cartridges

Owing to the long ow channels, many

packaging applications such as cartridges

for silicone compounds require the shortest

injection moulding times and thus dynamic

movements and high speeds. Here, the po-

sition-regulated screws of the ALLROUNDER

can fully demonstrate their great advan-

tages in combination with hydraulic accu-

mulator technology and servo valves posi-

tioned close to the consumers, as well as

fully electric injection units.

Dynamic: achieve long ow paths with short

injection times.

Productive: production of mass-produced

items in a matter of seconds.

Time-saving: simultaneous insertion of

labels and removal of containers.
