EVENT PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2021 – MACHINERY


Right: Arburg’s new Allrounder More series will be on show at Fakuma 2021


Arburg Arburg says it will focus on “The best of both worlds” at Fakuma 2021, bringing together its ArburgXworld digital and ArburgGREENworld sustainability platforms. In the former, it is exhibiting its bundled competencies and new developments in the area of digital products and services, such as its AnalyticsCenter for process analysis. Another innovation is that it will also be possible to integrate machines and peripheral devices from other manufacturers into the central platform in future. The sustainable production of plastic parts and


their return to the recyclable materials cycle will be illustrated by Arburg using innovative application examples. These will include separation by type using a digital watermark (HolyGrail2.0 and CurveCode) during production of IML espresso cups. It will also produce sunglasses made of bio-based PA12 on a sophisticated turnkey system. On show live for the first time will be the new


Allrounder More machines for efficient multi-com- ponent injection moulding. These have increased space for larger moulds, greater modularity during assembly and other features. The first machines have two electric injection units and clamping force of 1,600 or 2,000 kN. A total of nine machine exhibits will demonstrate

applications and processes, including bood test tubes and 2K fluid housings for medical technol- ogy, LSR face masks, hybrid parts and additively manufactured components made from original plastic granules and LSR materials. � www.arburg.com


Boy


Boy will present four injection moulding machines on its Fakuma stand. In a fully automated produc- tion cell, a Boy 80 E hybrid in combination with a Boy 2C S is producing wine spouts. In addition to the energy-efficient servo drive, the BOY 80 E is also equipped with an optional electro-mechanical drive for the injection unit. The rotational and axial

movements of the servo-plastic unit are carried out by two servo-motors totally detached from the machine hydraulics. The finished injection-mould- ed two-component plastic part is removed by the LR 5 handling unit and is then transported to an ultrasonic welding-system where a plastic-decant- ing-insert is shrink-wrapped into the wine spout. The biggest of the Boy injection moulding machines is a Boy 125 E with six contact points, a clamping force of 1,250 kN and a footprint of only 5.22 m², which will demonstrate its capability with the production of stacking boxes. In 17s, the 77 g stacking boxes are injected, removed from the mould by the gripper hand of the BOY handling LR 5 and transported to a printer. After labelling, the stacking boxes are placed on an integrated conveyor belt. Dental protective caps will be produced on a Boy 35 E from a two-component liquid silicone. The vertically compact telescopic handling unit Boy LR 5 removes the LSR-protective caps from a four- cavity mould and places them onto a conveyor belt. The four-tie-bar injection moulding machine scores with 350 kN clamping force, a generously dimensioned two-platen clamping unit and comparatively very favourable machine hour rates. In a demonstration with a Boy 25 E a removal handling system is fully integrated under the safety gate of the machine. In the medical-technical application, the side parts of a breathing mask are removed from the mould by a picker and placed on a small conveyor belt that is also integrated under the safety gate. With a footprint of only 1.9 m², Boy says this is probably one of the most compact production cells at Fakuma 2021. Four more Boy injection moulding machines will be shown on the stands of partner companies. � www.dr-boy.de
