show preview Arburg adds to Alldrive family


Hall 13/A13 Arburg will launch a new 400 tonne addition to its all-elec- tric Alldrive machine range. The electric Allrounder 820


A completes the high-end electric Alldrive machine series, says Arburg, filling a gap between the 320 and 500 tonne models. The 400 tonne toggle clamp machine will be shown with a newly developed 2100 electric injection unit. The company says the 400 tonne clamp option will also be available in the high-perfor-


mance hybrid Hidrive version in the future. l The company will also show an Agilus 6-axis robot from Kuka designed to be suspend- ed from a linear axis mounted transversely.


Mounting the robot on a linear axis allows more dynamic movements and faster entry into the mould, according to Arburg, which in turn results in shorter cycle times and higher productivity. A further


benefit is the increased working envelope available. The Agilus robotic system is designed for load weights between 6 and 10 kg. l Arburg will also demon- strate its direct long fibre thermoplastic moulding


technology in an over-mould- ing combination with continu- ous reinforced thermoplastic composite sheet. The process will be demonstrated on an Allrounder 820 S with servo- hydraulic drive. ❙ www.arburg.com

Battenfeld bigs up its MacroPower range


Hall 16/D22 Wittmann Battenfeld under- lines its determination to once again become a player in large machines with the launch of the MacroPo- wer 1500, the biggest


model yet in its range of compact large moulding machines. The machine offers a 1,600mm by 1,250mm distance between tiebars and uses the company’s ServoPower


technology to reduce energy and cooling water consumption. During the show it will be


producing an underground drainage component with four branched outlets in a mould supplied by IFW. Core pulls are equipped with P/Q valves while demoulding is effected with an ‘intermediate core pull stop’ in the opening stroke. The parts will be removed and stacked by a W853 Wittmann robot.


l The company will also show a hybrid MacroPower model configured for technical and packaging production. The 450 tonne machine uses a servo- hydraulic clamping system in combination with an all-electric high speed injection unit offering speeds up to 450 mm/s. It will be equipped with a TW842 top-entry robot and will be producing an IML bucket on a mould by Italy’s Abate. ❙ www.wittmann-group.com


Haitian shows new Venus and Jupiter models


Hall 15/A41 Chinese injection machinery maker Haitian International will be showing two new machines at the show: the Zhafir Venus II and Haitian Jupiter II. The latest version of the


all-electric Venus machine features improved motor dynamics and a wider range of

injection units. The company has also extended the range from 400 to 550 tonnes and added a high speed injection option of 350 mm/s (with a 500 mm/s version in early field testing) on models between 150 and 380 tonnes. During the show, it will be


demonstrating a high speed VE II 1900p model producing


coffee stirrers weighing 0.6g in PS on a 24-cavity mould. Cycle time is 2.9s. l The Jupiter II is also a new addition to the Haitian product line. The company will be showing a 550 tonne model at K, the first in a new line of smaller Jupiter models that will also include 750 and 950 tonne units. All feature a


compact construction, revised clamp arrangement, and the option of energy efficient servo-hydraulic drive technol- ogy. The company says it will


introduce a wide platen option on 950, 1,200 and 1,600 tonne Jupiter machines from next year. ❙ www.haitian.com
