Arburg Has Plan a: Solutions for the Meta Topics of Energy, Resources and Efficiency

  • “There is only a Plan A”: Sustainability, digitalisation and automation go hand in hand
  • “100 years of the Hehl family company”: New hybrid Allrounder machine makes its debut
  • ‘arburgSOLUTIONworld’: Arburg advises and supports injection moulding plants with innovative solutions

Arburg will be showcasing its exceptional ability to deliver solutions in plastics processing. “There is only a Plan A” will show how more sustainability, digitalisation and automation can be realised in the plastics world. One highlight will be the premiere of the Allrounder 520 H, which is the second machine size with new hybrid machine technology to be presented by Arburg this year. In the “arburgSOLUTIONworld”, which is also new, visitors to the fair will find out how they can save energy and increase efficiency in their operations, as well as compensate for the shortage of skilled workers. Nine exhibits on the company’s own stand in Hall A3 and another ten machines on partner stands will also be giving live demonstrations of exciting applications, processes and trends in injection moulding and 3D printing.

“With ‘There is only a Plan A’, we will be continuing our extremely successful communication line at Fakuma 2023 and combining it with our ‘100 years of the Hehl family company’ anniversary, explains Juliane Hehl, Managing Partner Marketing & Business Development. “We will show our customers how they can benefit not only from our products, solutions and services, but also from our decades of experience.”

Following the Allrounder 470 H milestone machine, Arburg is taking the next step towards the hybrid Hidrive series with new machine technology in sizes 520 and 570. An Allrounder 520 H in the Premium performance variant will make its debut at Fakuma 2023.

“There is only a Plan A”

Arburg’s “Plan A” brings together everything the company has to offer on the topics of sustainability, digitalisation, automation and energy efficiency. At the same time, the machine manufacturer makes it clear that there can be no “Plan B”. Instead, Arburg tackles the issue strategically and operationally, showing solutions that enable resources to be conserved as effectively as possible, carbon footprints to be reduced, and recyclable plastics to be returned to the material cycle (circular economy) using sustainability, efficiency and cutting-edge technology. The 100-year history of the company will be presented in a special exhibition area, and is further proof that environmental protection and the responsible use of resources are firmly rooted in Arburg’s DNA.

Anniversary gift: New hybrid machine

After presenting the Allrounder 470 H milestone machine in spring 2023 on the celbrations of “100 years of the Hehl family company”, Arburg is now taking the next step towards a hybrid Hidrive series with new machine technology: Starting at Fakuma 2023, sizes 520 and 570 will be available. The machines combine an energy-efficient and precise electric clamping unit with a powerful and dynamic hydraulic injection unit, making them particularly good at saving energy and conserving resources, as well as production-efficient, user-friendly and reliable. The new hybrid Allrounders still boast significantly reduced acquisition and operating costs, plus a smaller carbon footprint, and are available in the Comfort, Premium, and Ultimate performance variants. Numerous options allow the machines to be adapted precisely to specific customer requirements.

The exhibit, an Allrounder 520 H Premium, will use a 1+1+1-cavity mould to produce an Allrounder machine base from ABS to a scale of 1:18. The “Moldlife Sense” computer system from Arburg’s partner Hack enables the mould to be monitored over its entire life cycle. It can also communicate with the machine and mould via an OPC UA interface.

Arburg experts will be providing advice on the meta topics of energy, efficiency, the shortage of skilled workers, and future orientation in its arburgSOLUTIONworld. Among the features of this new interactive exhibition space built around a four-metre-high LED column will be Arburg’s “Action Plan: Energy”, including energy advice, machine updates and consumption measurements to help customers save resources and energy, especially in these economically and politically tense times. The revolutionary LED column is also a structural expression of the importance of this topic for Arburg.

The Arburg host computer system ALS, along with individual processes and customer-specific manufacturing solutions, will be used to demonstrate how high quality standards can be maintained despite enormous price and cost pressures. Last but not least, trade fair visitors will learn how they can use digital services such as the arburgXworld customer portal and smart assistance functions from the Gestica control system to overcome the shortage of skilled workers and remain fit for the future.

Reliable processing of recyclates

An Allrounder Golden Electric 470 E with a Yaskawa six-axis robot will be demonstrating how post-consumer recyclate (PCR) can be reliably processed. In a technically demanding process, toy dolphins will be made.

In turn, a vertical Allrounder 375 V machine will overmould inserts with single-variety post-industrial recyclate (PIR) based on a glass-fibre-reinforced PA 66/6 to produce ready-to-use bicycle tools. Tool cases in the Arburg design will be produced using components made from Arburg partner Leonhard Kurz’s Recopound® material, which is obtained from post-industrial recyclate (PIR) on the basis of PET films. In addition, an ISCC mass-balanced material from Covestro will be used. The coveted give-away will be produced on a turnkey system based around a hybrid Allrounder 920 H with a clamping force of 5,000 kN.

Prime examples of digitalisation and automation

Arburg’s stand will feature a wide range of automation solutions – from simple part removal with various linear Multilift robotic systems to complex handling with Yaskawa and Kuka six-axis robots.

The application example of a tyre lever will show how digitalisation and automation go hand in hand to produce plastic parts efficiently and with 100 per cent traceability. A turnkey system with a vertical Allrounder 375 V and a six-axis robot mounted in a space-saving hanging position will be producing this ready-to-use bicycle tool. The Arburg Turnkey Control Module (ATCM) Scada system and ‘Invisible Tracing’ from partner Detagto allow each product to be clearly traced and identified.

Juliane Hehl, Managing Partner & Managing Director, Marketing & Business Development.

Efficient injection moulding processes

Energy-efficient two-component injection moulding will be demonstrated by an Allrounder More 1600, equipped with two electric injection units, which will produce a container made of thermoplastic (PBT) and liquid silicone (LSR). The LSR dosing unit from Reinhardt Technik is integrated into the Gestica control system via OPC UA and the Euromap interface 82.3.

As an energy-efficient, resource-saving application and alternative to thermoforming, an all-electric Allrounder 720 A Ultimate packaging machine will be producing IML round cups with a wall thickness of only 0.37 millimetres. This is done by injection compression moulding, which also reduces the energy requirement and mould wear.

An IML process designed specifically for medical technology will be presented using labelled centrifuge tubes as an example. In addition to Arburg, partners Kebo, MCC Verstraete, Beck Automation and Intravis are involved in this innovative joint project involving an electric Allrounder 520 A with an 8-cavity mould.

Industrial additive manufacturing

A high-temperature Freeformer 750-3X, Arburg’s largest yet compact 3D printer, will be producing air diffusers from Ultem, original aerospace-approved plastic granules. An innovatiQ LiQ printer from for processing liquid silicone will also be presented from the ARBURGadditive division.

Ten additional exhibits on partner stands

Ten additional injection moulding exhibits on partner stands will demonstrate the wide range of applications for Arburg machine technology. These will include:

  • an Allrounder 1300 T rotary table machine that produces vegetable slicers by overmoulding metal blades with ABS (Maschinenfabrik Lauffer, Hall A3, Stand 3008),
  • an Allrounder 470 H hybrid machine that uses an 8-cavity mould with a special laser surface to produce closure caps from recycled PP (Barnes Group, Hall A1, Stand 1208) and
  • an electric Allrounder 370 A that processes solid silicone into cable ties (ACH, Halle A4, Stand 4307).

Design Innovation in Plastics 2023 Winner Announced

Student from Dublin creates new flossing device for teeth cleaning

Congratulations go to Christopher Kenny, a student from Technological University Dublin, who has won this year’s Design innovation in Plastics (DIP) competition, which is headline sponsored by Covestro.

DIP, also supported by The Worshipful Company of Horners, and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), is the longest running plastics design competition of its kind for university undergraduates in the UK and Ireland. This year’s contestants were asked to design a product for the kitchen or bathroom.

A third year product design undergraduate, Chris takes away the first prize of £1,000, plus a placement or course with a DIP sponsor, a year’s membership of IOM3 and an invitation to the Lord Mayor’s Banquet as a guest of the Worshipful Company of Horners.

Chris’ winning product is ‘Flossie’, a teeth cleaning device which allows people with hand deterity conditions to floss their teeth more easily. It utilises flossing sticks and a specially designed gripping handle. He used a combination of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), polyurethane and polypropylene for the different components of his product.

Chairman of the judging panel, Richard Brown, said: “This is a great product which is inspired by a real life challenge. We were impressed not just by the clever design, but by the user testing carried out by Chris, to show how it can help people with lifelong conditions that affect movement and co-ordination. He also gave us a detailed analysis of manufacturing ideas and costs, as well as considering its marketing.”

Chris said the inspiration for his product came from wanting to help his brother, who has cerebral palsy in his right hand and said he was very proud that other people also liked his idea. “It is a real honour to be recognised in this competition,” he said. “I definitely want to work with materials and mechanisms in the future, as designing for usability really excites me.”

The judges awarded second place to Kyle Farquhar, Edinburgh Napier University, with his product ‘PlateMate’, a foldable plate which shows children how to create a variety of Mexican and other international dishes in a more fun way. In third place came Scott Rutherford, also from Edinburgh Napier, with his ‘Rotary Bottle Opener’, which helps people with hand weaknesses to open twist top bottles more easily.

Highly Commended Awards go to:

  • Freddy Blake, Bournemouth University, with ‘Bubble Buddy‘, a bathroom soap dispenser and hand wash device in one package, which makes hand washing more fun for children.
  • Teresa Zheng, Loughborough University, with ‘Sianel‘, a portable shelf which enables people to change their colostomy bags more easily.

A sixth student, James Forrest-Smith, has received the inaugural Robin Jones Award. Robin was a key member of the DIP committee who sadly died last year. A tutor at London South Bank University, he always passionately shared his presentation expertise to the finalists to help them showcase their products in the best possible way. This award therefore recognises both the skill in achieving this as well as the quality of the design.

James, from Northumbria University, created ‘STEPA‘ a fully adjustable stool for children to use in the kitchen, encouraging them to get involved in kitchen activities.

All this year’s award candidates receive cash prizes along with placements or industrial courses and a year’s membership of IOM3.

DIP is also supported by work placement sponnsors, Brightworks, Innovate Product Design, PDD and Sumitomo Demag, along with media partners, British Plastics & Rubber, Mould Technology and Materials World.

Ecoclean’s Exhibits at Parts2clean: as Versatile as the Cleaning Tasks Efficient and Sustainable Solutions for Present and Future Parts Cleaning Challenges

An essential step in manufacturing processes, parts cleaning significantly contributes to product quality and adds considerable value. In the past years, the related tasks have become much more varied and challenging. At parts2clean (hall 10, booth C38), Ecoclean will be showcasing a product portfolio optimally tailored to the highly different cleaning applications and requirements in the various industry sectors. The company’s presence at the industry fair in Stuttgart from 26 to 28 September will be rounded off by future-proof service solutions, such as the new virtual showroom, and options for improving energy efficiency and sustainability.

The UCMSmartLine, shown here with connection to a clean room, represents the solutions for applications in high-purity cleaning consisting of tandardized modules for the various process steps and a flexible transport system.

The range of cleaning applications and cleanliness requirements has never been as broad as today. On the one hand, high-technology industry sectors such as semiconductors, medical, sensors and analytics as well as precision optical are reliant on the efficient and dependable removal of ultrafine particulate contaminants in the submicron range, and of residual film-type contamination, some of which have a thickness in the nanoscale. On the other hand, the general industry, which encompasses a multitude of sectors, first and foremost presents a need for removing large amounts of chips and machining fluid. Between these extremes, there are countless cleaning tasks with product- and sector-specific cleanliness specifications. For these many-faceted applications and requirements, Ecoclean and UCM will be presenting an optimally tailored offering of products and services at parts2clean (hall 10, booth C38). They are conceived to meet the respective cleanliness specifications not only in a stable and reliable but also efficient and resource-saving manner.

 

Sustainable and efficient cleaning solutions for all tasks

One topical section of the booth is committed to high purity cleaning and integrated in the fair’s ‘High Purity Lane’. A UCMSmartLine will be shown live there. It will demonstrate the possibilities of combining standardized modules for the process steps wash, rinse, dry, load and unload, and flexible part transport systems, into solutions capable of meeting even the highest cleanliness requirements. Special process technologies such as PPC (Pulsated Pressure Cleaning) also contribute to these results. Information on the testing facilities offered by the manufacturer’s High Purity Test Center, which was officially inaugurated at the end of 2022, as well as application examples complete the offering in this section.

Castings,, machined workpieces, stamped parts, bent parts, pressed and deep- drawn parts, hydraulic or pneumatic fittings, additively manufactured components – there is a near endless variety in the general industry of components made from various materials. Downstream processes such as joining, coating and assembling also call for specific cleanliness levels and reliable functioning of the products. For these tasks ranging from pre- cleaning via intermediate to final cleaning and precision cleaning, the manufacturer showcases chamber-type systems of standard and bespoke designs for aqueous and solvent based cleaning, as well as multi-chamber immersion cleaning systems. By way of example, an EcoCwave machine will be shown live on the booth to illustrate the various features and process options.

An all-in approach to Service

Ecoclean will also provide insights into its new virtual showroom, combining a three-dimensional environment with virtual reality. The designation ‘showroom’ actually doesn’t do it justice, as nearly every company site can be visited. Even the smallest details of the cleaning equipment and systems exhibited can be explored in three-dimensional space with a VR headset. Moreover, the virtual world can be connected to the real world. Among other things, this offers customers the possibility to attend cleaning trials live from anywhere in the word, and to obtain additional information in the process. This innovative communication platform conveys the impression that users are physically present.

The team at the booth will also inform visitors about forward-looking service concepts, automation and digitization solutions, available training options, and possibilities of realizing energy and resource savings in cleaning processes.

The new virtual showroom combines a three-dimensional environment with virtual reality and enables the exhibited systems to be explored down to the smallest detail.
