Arburg’s theme at Fakuma 2018 is “Road to Digitalisation”, with the German company guiding injection moulding customers “along the path towards future-proof and efficient plastic parts production”. Arburg has created new assistance packages for this task, which will be presented at six stations: n “
4.set-up” actively supports machine operators with set-up and parameter entry. n “
4.start-stop” simplifies production start-up, reduces the number of start-up parts and increases production capacity. n “4.optimisation” is designed for product optimi- sations aimed at enhancing part quality and reducing unit costs. n “
4.production” gives experienced operators greater flexibility and freedom when programming functions. n “
4.monitoring” offers detailed process and quality monitoring and seamless documentation. n “
4.service” makes it possible to quickly help customers through direct access to the machine control system and via online support, thereby increasing machine availability. Other stations will show Arburg’s new Gestica
control system and the Selogica ND (new design), and the potential for augmented reality to be used in “smart” service will also be demonstrated. The Arburg Turnkey Control Module (ATCM) will

be presented for the first time at Fakuma. This is a data collection system for complex turnkey systems from Arburg which visualises the entire process, captures the corresponding data and transmits the part-specific data sets. ATCM is being shown with an electric Allrounder 470 A machine with a clamping force of 1,000 kN, producing two housing parts for a spirit level in 46 s using a 1 + 1-cavity family mould. Individualisation is at the heart of a
turnkey system based around a vertical Allrounder 375 V machine producing elastic tension straps. Other Arburg machines on its stand include: a
26 INJECTION WORLD | October 2018
www.injectionworld.com
Boy is staging the world premiere of its Boy 125 E machine at Fakuma, which will come into series production in the spring 2019. The 1,250 kN machine (a large clamping force in the context of Boy’s machine range) was developed in response to the needs of customers and was designed with a clear width of 470 mm between the tie bars instead of the previous 430 mm. In addition, the maximum platen distance has been extended to 825 mm as standard. This should provide more space, for example when using rotary plates, says Boy. The Boy 125 E is being shown with a two-com- ponent application at Fakuma. In combination with a BOY 2C S, cups made of NAS 30 are first injected, which are then partially overmoulded with a design surface as a second component by the additional injection unit BOY 2C S in the same mould. The gripper head of the Boy LR 5 removal and handling robot repositions the pre-moulded cups in the mould, removes the finished two-component parts and places them on a conveyor belt in the protec- tive housing of the LR 5 automation cell. For the first time, Boy is showing a telescopic version of the LR 5 robot on a Boy 35 E machine, which is particularly suitable for production sites with low ceilings. The vertical travel path can be reduced to a minimum by the telescopic arm. The long-term positioning accuracy of the transfer/ removal handling developed by Boy is ± 0.1 mm. At the Boy stand, a total of three LR 5s with different designs will be presented. �
