Focus on Energy Efficiency and Productivity

  • Presentation of new Allrounder 470 H hybrid milestone machine with Multilift robotic system
  • Arburg with solutions geared to the market
  • Exhibits focus on greater energy and production efficiency

At Equiplast in Barcelona from 30 May to 2 June 2023, Arburg (Pavilion P3/Level 0, Stand D34) will be focusing on energy and production efficiency. The Allrounder 470 H milestone machine is celebrating its premiere in Spain – with many technical innovations that are only available from Arburg. The hybrid machine saves energy, conserves resources, is production-efficient, user-friendly and reliable, and ideal for the e-mobility sector, for example. Another exhibit will be a Freeformer 300-3X for industrial additive manufacturing.

At the most important plastics trade fair in Spain, where Arburg has always been present, the market is expecting solutions. “E-mobility is an important market of the future, as several automotive plants are looking to produce e-vehicles in Spain,” reports Martin Cayre, Managing Director of Arburg Spain, who also sees great potential in a number of battery factories that are simultaneously in the pipeline. “Due to the high energy costs, we are seeing a clear focus on energy efficiency and machines with electric axes.” And our Freefomer 300-3X industrial 3D printer with a large build chamber also has great potential for this industry of the future.

New Allrounder 470 H: 50 per cent lower energy requirement

Arburg is launching a new machine technology with the milestone machine and is now presenting the hybrid Allrounder 470 H for the first time in Spain. The machine enables customers to leverage the benefits of the combination of electric clamping unit, hydraulic injection unit and the “Comfort”, “Premium” and “Ultimate” performance variants in a way that is even more customised to their needs, coupled with a reduction in acquisition and operating costs and a significantly smaller carbon footprint. In Cayre’s opinion, its energy efficiency and precision, comparable to that of an electric machine, together with its attractive price/performance ratio, are convincing arguments in its favour.

The technical facts of the new hybrid series speak for themselves: compared to a corresponding hydraulic machine, the energy footprint of the Allrounder 470 H is up to 50 per cent smaller. Depending on the application, this can save up to 12,000 kilograms of CO2 per year. The new oil management concept also saves resources: For one thing, around 35 per cent less oil is needed, and for another, waste machine heat is used to pre-heat the oil. The required cooling water capacity is also between 50 and 70 per cent lower. A reduction in the dry cycle time of up to 33 per cent results in significantly greater production efficiency.

Highlight: Application for the e-mobility sector

Martin Cayre describes the application on the Allrounder 470 H Comfort trade fair exhibit as a highlight for the e-mobility sector, for example: “This is a very good example of magnets as used in the e-mobility sector.” A material with a high iron content is injected and magnetised in the mould. A Multilift Select robotic system with a load capacity of six kilograms is used to handle the parts. In a 1+1-cavity family mould, toothed wheel and pole wheel are produced alternately in two cavities through turning from a PA6 with magnetic filler. Production is free of changeover and non-standard sequences. When the product is changed, only the second stored injection and mould program is selected and the runner in the mould switched over. The plastic filled with the magnetisable material is poled while still in the mould via permanent magnets.

Additive manufacturing: Freeformer for industrial 3D printing

For industrial additive manufacturing based on plastic granules, Arburg is presenting a Freeformer 300-3X with three discharge units at Equiplast. ARBURGadditive’s portfolio also includes a high-temperature version with build chamber temperatures of up to 250 degrees Celsius, a Freeformer 200-3X “soft” with special equipment for processing soft materials, and the new Freeformer 750-3X with a build chamber that is around 2.5 times larger – with the same external dimensions. The Freeformers feature a Gestica controller that is optimised for additive manufacturing in terms of process stability, part quality and build time.

Strong Arburg team – professional and forward-looking

Made up of highly trained and well-established employees who have been with the company for more than ten years on average, Arburg’s team in Spain is well prepared to meet the demanding market conditions. “Arburg offers comprehensive customer support, from machine design and automation to commissioning and process optimisation, and is also at the forefront when it comes to sustainability and digitalisation, not to mention eco-friendly and efficient production,” says Martin Cayre with conviction.

The milestone machine makes its debut at Equiplast 2023 in Spain. The hybrid Allrounder 470 H sets the stage for a new type of machine technology: particularly energy-saving, resource-saving, production-efficient, user-friendly and reliable.

Design Sprouts Material: a Special Event by Covestro and MM Design to Explore the Inseparable Relationship Between Materials and Design

  • Design Sprouts Material presents the bidirectional links between materials and design and their presence in people’s daily lives
  • An informative and experimental space for all visitors who want to interact with innovative materials, surfaces and colors
  • Covestro presents the CMF corner and a selection of its most important products

On occasion of Milan Design Week, Covestro, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of polymer materials and components, will participate in DESIGN SPROUTS MATERIAL, an event organized and hosted by MM Design. MM Design has been one of the most important international industrial design studios for over 30 years, with offices in Milan, Bolzano, São Paulo and Singapore. The exhibition Design Sprouts Material shows the inseparable and reciprocal relationship between materials and design, as well as their presence in people’s daily lives, from work to leisure and from mobility to relaxation at the end of the day.

With this installation, MM Design, in cooperation with Covestro, offers an informative and experiential space to all visitors who want to interact with innovative materials, surfaces and colors. MM Design will present the new digital library mathub, which aims to consider product design not only as a formal approach, but also as a way to imagine innovative scenarios starting from carefully selected materials. Mathub provides the opportunity to offer the most suitable, safe and sustainable materials, as well as an extensive network of suppliers who can carry out customized processes for new combinations of materials. Visitors can also take part in guided tours at certain times.

Living, lifestyle, mobility

With Design Sprouts Material, Covestro unfolds the range of its high-tech polymers and tells the story of their relationship with finished products, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the different areas where these products can be found: Home, Lifestyle and Mobility. For each product, the journey from idea to material to finished object is vividly explained in a story to capture the essence of the design process.

In the Lifestyle section is the CMF (Color, Material, Finish) section, which describes how the combined consideration of colors, materials and finishes determines the experience everyone has with the design objects they choose and use every day. This new design approach, which focuses on the sensory perception of material and object, is a reference point for the activities of the Color & Design Center, an international research center for color located in the heart of Covestro’s Italian plant in Filago.

To explain what the CMF approach means for design, Covestro will present its Aesthetic Configurator, a digital tool that allows experimentation with infinite combinations of colors, materials and surfaces, as part of Design Sprouts Material. Featured objects include the Fairphone 4 smartphone, shoes and fashion accessories, truck tarps that can be recycled into other objects, and an innovative model of a wearable smartwatch, all based on Covestro’s Desmopan thermoplastic polyurethane.

The Mobility area is dedicated to materials and projects for vehicle interiors, an area that is developing extraordinarily in view of the transition to autonomous driving: In the future, the passenger compartment will become a living room on wheels, where comfort and the appearance of details and colors will become increasingly important. The polycarbonates of the Makrolon range and the polycarbonate films of the Makrofol range from Covestro are playing a leading role in this context, thanks to their exceptional versatility and ability to transmit radiation, both in terms of illumination and the flow of information from the outside to the inside of the vehicle. Covestro’s thermoplastics are also protagonists in applications related to the electric car of the present and future, especially wallboxes, charging stations and examples of improved surfaces for data exchange in the residential and automotive sectors.

The Interior Furnishings area, on the other hand, will showcase examples of products made with innovative solutions from Covestro, such as the recyclable monomaterial carpet made from Niaga. It will be complemented in the Interior Garden area by a design chair and sink made from Arfinio. This is a revolutionary material and innovative technology that for the first time allows the use of aliphatic polyurethanes in injection molding (RIM). It allows the production of objects of any shape in a single production step, with clear advantages in terms of lightness, resistance and maintenance compared to other solid surfaces.

Wittmann Battenfeld With Energy-Efficient and Resource-Saving Injection Molding Technology at the Plastpol

Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will present to interested trade visitors ultra-modern injection molding machines and process technology, as well as state-of-the-art robots and auxiliaries at the Plastpol 2023 in hall F, booth No. F-9.

The Polish market is one of the most important export markets for the Wittmann Group. Consequently, the Plastpol is a key platform for Wittmann to present latest technologies to this market in cooperation with its subsidiary Wittmann Battenfeld Polska.

At this year’s Plastpol, two servo-hydraulic injection molding machines will be shown.

On a SmartPlus 90/350 equipped with the new control unit B8X as well as the CMS Lite conditioning monitoring system and an automation cell designed and manufactured by Wittmann Battenfeld Germany, Wittmann produces a spirit level made of ABS with a 1+1-cavity mold supplied by SOLA, Austria. As a first production step, the top and bottom parts of the spirit level housing are injection molded. The top part is then deposited and printed at a laser station. Simultaneously, the bottom part placed on a tray is fitted with vials from SOLA. Next, the top part is pressed onto the bottom part by a pre-set force. The finished parts are then transported to a testing station, where the positioning of the vials is checked by a vision system. After quality inspection, the finished spirit levels are removed and deposited on a conveyor belt by a WX138 robot from Wittmann.

Special features of the SmartPlus are high levels of cost and energy efficiency and repeatability. By using proven technologies combined with carefully selected options, it has become possible to offer an excellent price/performance ratio for these machines.

Airmould 4.0

The second machine is a SmartPower 60/210. This machine comes with Airmould internal gas pressure technology. Using this technology, a clothes peg will be manufactured with a 1+1 cavity mold. In the Airmould process, nitrogen is injected into the cavity partly or completely filled with melt by an Airmould nozzle specially developed for this purpose, which leads to the formation of a bubble structure. In this way, substantial quantities of material can be saved, with the result of a significant cost advantage especially for mass products such as clothes pegs. In this application, the latest-generation Airmould technology, known as Airmould 4.0, will be demonstrated. It stands out by its compact hardware, plus a high level of user friendliness through its integration in the Unilog B8 control system. All components were developed and are produced in-house by Wittmann Battenfeld.

Automation and auxiliaries

In addition to the robots and auxiliary appliances connected to the machines on display, numerous robots and auxiliaries from Wittmann will also be shown as stand-alone solutions at the Plastpol in Kielce.

The low energy consumption of the Wittmann robot series will be demonstrated at the Plastpol by an interactive showpiece known as the ErgoRobot. This application consists of a robot and a bike used as an ergometer. The trade fair visitor serves as the “power source”. While riding the bike he sets the robot in motion. The robot used in this case is a Primus 14 in the standard version with an R8 control system, an appliance normally used for pick & place applications on machines with clamping forces ranging from 50 to 150 t. The moving bike pedals drive via force transmission a servo motor mounted on the rear wheel. In the ErgoRobot application, this motor functions as the robot’s power supply. The electricity generated by the motor is transmitted to the robot and sets it in motion.

To enable the Primus 14 to move at 100% of its top speed, the bike rider must generate about 150 watts of power. This is roughly the power required by an average refrigerator with freezer compartment to suit a four-person household. If more power is generated on the bike, the surplus is used to light two floor lamps placed next to it. The brightness of the lamps then depends on the amount of additional power supplied.

Clothes peg, manufactured with Airmould 4.0 internal gas pressure technology.

In addition to this application, Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will exhibit a Sonic 108 robot at the Plastpol. The robots of the Sonic series have been optimized for maximum-speed parts removal in packaging and pick-and-place applications. They are designed for cycle times below 4 seconds.

Moreover, a Codemax RFID-coded coupling station including its M8 network control system will be shown. The latter prevents the supply of wrong materials to a processing machine caused by an operating error.

Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will also present a wide range of auxiliary equipment. The dryers to be shown include an Aton plus segmented wheel dryer, a compact dryer Drymax primus 60-150 and a Card 10S compressed air dryer. The Aton plus segmented wheel dryer combines a constant dew point with energy efficiency. It comes with the Wittmann drying wheel, many energy-saving functions, a touch-screen user interface and the Net5 system. This enables parameter setting and the administration of material loaders. The Drymax dryers are equipped with two desiccant cartridges, which deliver a continuous flow of process air with consistent drying air quality for perfect drying of plastic granulate. The compressed air dryers from the Card series are small and efficient. They are ideally suited for drying applications with low throughput rates.

ErgoRobot application using a Primus 14 robot from WITTMANN with an R8 control unit.

As representative examples of temperature control technology, Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will show its appliance models Tempro primus 90, Tempro basic C120 and Tempro plus D140. The outstanding features of Tempro temperature controllers are reliability and easy operation. A small heat exchanger requires less circulating water, with the result of much shorter heating and cooling times.

In addition, the volumetric blenders Dosimax MC balance and Dosimax basic will be showcased at the Plastpol. The specific design of these blenders provides even, extremely accurate dosing of colorants. Together with the volumetric blenders, a Gravimax primus 14 gravimetric blender will also be on display.

From its materials handling equipment range, Wittmann Battenfeld Polska will present a Feedmax basic material loader, several units from the Feedmax S3 net series and a CS filter station. The Feedmax S3 net offers the benefits of maintenance friendliness, high process reliability and easy operation.

Feedmax S3 net

 

The range of exhibits is rounded off with granulators from the G-Max and S-Max series. The models on display will be a G-Max 33 beside-the-press granulator and an S-Max 3 screenless granulator. G-Max granulators are energy-efficient and come with a small footprint as well as a sound-insulated cutting chamber. The S-Max granulators feature toothed rollers with low motor speeds (27 rev/min at 50 Hz) for efficient, low-cost granulating of engineering plastics as well as styrene, acrylic and fiberglass-reinforced materials.

Gravimax 14

As an additional attraction, the sports car of Adam Zentner, a freelance employee of the company, will be exhibited at the booth of Wittmann Battenfeld Polska – the vehicle with which Adam Zentner won the Polish championship in Class D5 of the CEZ Circuit Endurance contest in 2022.

Largest Freeformer 750-3X Highlight at Largest 3D Printing Trade Fair in North America

Arburg at rapid+tct 2023

  • Premiere: Large Freeformer 750-3X presented for the first time in North America
  • Quick and precise: Freeformer 750-3X economically prints parts for Aerospace and Medical applications
  • Member of the Arburg Family: Broad portfolio of Freeformers and 3D printers from innovatiQ

rapid+tct, the largest US trade fair in the field of 3D printing, will be held in Chicago from 2 to 4 May 2023. A highlight on Arburg’s stand 3812 (West Hall) will be the Freeformer 750-3X, which is making its North American debut. The industrial 3D printer with its large build chamber works quickly, precisely and economically and is ideal for functional components in hard/soft combination. A Freeformer 300-3X in high-temperature design will process aerospace-grade Ultem live to create air ducts. Three other exhibits from innovatiQ will round off ARBURGadditive’s extensive AM product portfolio.

“rapid+tct is one of the important trade fairs for industrial 3D printing and is an excellent platform for increasing our brand awareness and presenting our machine highlight, the large Freeformer 750-3X, for the first time in North America,” says Dr Victor Roman, Managing Director of ARBURGadditive. “We will also be exhibiting our complete portfolio – from fast and economical 3D printing of prototypes for accelerated time-to-market to additive processing of sophisticated original materials into resilient, traceable functional components for the aerospace, automotive and medical industries, for example.”

North American premiere for the Freeformer 750-3X

The Freeformer 750-3X is making its North American debut. This largest industrial 3D printer from Arburg has a build chamber of 750 square centimetres, around 2.5 times larger than the Freeformer 300-3X – with the same external dimensions. This enables it to produce larger functional components or to additively manufacture small batches industrially. In addition, data processing and the Gestica controller developed and manufactured by Arburg itself have been further optimised in terms of process stability, component quality and build time. The result is significantly reduced costs per component.

At rapid+tct, a Freeformer 750-3X will be demonstrating a typical automotive application. The exhibit will make a seal out of soft TPU with the help of support material. The component is used for car windows.

North American premiere at rapid+tct 2023: the new Freeformer 750-3X with three discharge units and a significantly enlarged build chamber measuring 330 millimetres x 230 millimetres x 230 millimetres.

3D printing for aerospace and medical technology

A second Freeformer exhibit in size 300-3X will be producing components for the aerospace industry at rapid+tct 2023. This machine in high-temperature design allows the build chamber to be heated to up to 200 degrees Celsius. The exhibit will process Ultem 9085, an original high-temperature plastic approved for aerospace applications, into air duct prototypes for aircraft cabins. Arburg will also be presenting a number of component examples on its stand, including those made of TPE, PP and multi-material designs, as well as the possibility of finishing and polishing in subsequent machining processes. The Freeformer can be used in clean rooms with just a few adjustments and can process medically approved original materials. That will be seen through the example of the customer iMedScreening, which is using a Freeformer 300-3X to additively manufacture individual implants for the human knee as part of an IRB (Institutional Review Board) study.

3D printers from innovatiQ round off the product portfolio

This year, ARBURGadditive’s entire product portfolio will be on show with innovatiQ’s TiQ 2, TiQ 5 and LiQ 5 exhibits, which at rapid+tct will be producing a vacuum gripper from fibre-reinforced filament, a bracket from PC and a model tyre from LSR. In the Arburg Plastic Freeforming (APF) process with the Freeformer the same plastic granules are used as in injection moulding. The 3D printing systems from innovatiQ are also based on an open material platform.

The TiQ series 3D printers process plastic filaments using FFF (fused filament fabrication) technology. The compact entry-level TiQ2 model is suitable for operating equipment and robotic grippers, for example, while the TiQ 5 can process demanding high-temperature filaments as well as fibre-reinforced materials. for 3D printing with liquid silicone, innovatiQ invented liquid additive manufacturing (LAM). With the actively heatable build chamber in the new LSR printer LiQ 5, the LAM technology experiences a further development step.

Processing original material for the aerospace industry: at rapid+tct 2023, a Freeformer 300-3X will be producing functional prototypes for aircraft cabins from Ultem 9085.

Sustainable Pumps: ALPLA and HANA Innovation Launch Joint Venture

Packaging specialists push completely recyclable mono-material solution

Pumps for soap, lotion or shampoo dispensers: the ALPLA Group is expanding its product portfolio with innovative systems for pumps made of plastic. The globally active packaging and recycling company is entering into a joint venture with HANA Innovation for this purpose. The South Korean producer has developed a patented pump made of a mono-material with maximum recyclability. Together, the two partners want to promote the sustainable system worldwide and push further developments.

ALPLA is opening up new markets with pumps and started producing standard pumps for soap and shampoo dispensers in Hyderabad (India) in 2020. By signing a joint venture with the South Korean company HANA Innovation, ALPLA now plans to continue its growth course in the strategically important injection moulding (IM) sector. With its cutting-edge solutions for the cosmetics industry, HANA Innovation is a recognised supplier of pumps and lotion dispensers. Founded in 1993, the company has developed fully recyclable solutions made of plastic mono-material.

“The potential for high-quality, recyclable pumps is enormous. As a system provider, we can offer the matching bottles at the same time. With this new partnership, we are combining our strengths as a globally operating company with the technological edge of HANA Innovation,” says Michael Feltes, Global Business Development Director IM at ALPLA. Sung Il Kang, Chairman of HANA Innovation, emphasises the operational advantages of the joint venture: “The cooperation opens up opportunities for further global commercialisation of our products and accelerates the development of sustainable, future-proof solutions.”

Recycling and customisation
The ECO Pump system developed by HANA Innovation is made of 100 per cent polypropylene (PP), which makes it fully recyclable, and can also be manufactured from post-consumer recycled (PCR) material. In addition to its ecological advantages, the pump convinces with its convenient handling. A smooth spring execution guarantees linear and even force over the entire pump stroke. In the future, the pumps – like all ALPLA products – will also be customisable.

With the new cooperation, the two companies want to push the worldwide distribution of the sustainable pumps with the revolutionary patented plastic spring technology and in addition offer complete systems including the bottle. ALPLA has worldwide production capabilities in injection moulding, complemented by many years of recycling expertise and an international network.

The formation of the joint venture is subject to legal and regulatory approval by the relevant competition authorities. The parties have agreed not to disclose details of the partnership.

“Faberlab Powered by Arburg” Additive Center to Open

Here we go!

  • Launch: additive Center stages open house event with around 120 guests in Origgio near to Milan
  • Know-how: 3D printing service provider Faberlab and Arburg collaborate to share their expertise
  • Additive: three machines from Arburg and innovatiQ help processing become more versatile

The “Faberlab powered by Arburg” Additive Center was officially launched on March 2, 2023 as part of an open house event. The centre at Faberlab, service provider for industrial additive manufacturing, offers companies beyond the region the unique opportunity to familiarise themselves with additive machines from Arburg and innovatiQ in practical situations.

In Origgio in the Greater Milan, customers benefit from the close collaboration between Faberlab and Arburg and the expertise the two companies have pooled. The knowledge surrounds not only the technology itself, but also every conceivable service related to industrial additive manufacturing and across the entire value chain from development to production. Including, for example, rapid prototyping, component design, and also training.

Until now, no other centre in Italy has been able to offer this expertise to companies, research institutes or training facilities.

Arburg is providing a freeformer 200-3X, a high-temperature freeformer 300-3X and an innovatiQ TiQ 5 printer with a large build chamber for processing high-performance thermoplastics. Ivan Panfiglio, manager for additive manufacturing in Italy, is the point of contact at Arburg for customers of this technology.

This pilot project is based on the Arburg Prototyping Center (APC), which the company operates at its headquarters in Lossburg as well as at its branches in the USA and China. Now, customers can have benchmark components manufactured and materials qualified in Italy as well. Having strategically expanded the reach of its AM activities in this way, Arburg can now specifically meet local expectations and cater to the needs of the Italian market as a whole.

Centre for additive manufacturing goes into operation

The opening of the “digital lab” in Origgio was attended by a total of 118 guests seeking advice, new networks and technical discussions with the specialists. Eltek Spa, a customer of Arburg from Casale Monferrato, presented visitors with a case history of products created on the Freeformer.

As Massimo Zanin, senior development engineer at Eltek Spa, remarks: “Eltek has around a hundred Arburg injection moulding machines. This is how we came across Faberlab and the Freeformer. We consider this a very special machine, not just a conventional filament 3D printer. For plastics processors like ourselves, it is important to have a system that can use the same plastics for prototyping as it does for the series product. Our prototypes should have more or less the same mechanical properties as the original. The Freeformer is the printer that best meets these requirements. Together, Faberlab and Arburg would have helped Eltek make the best use of the machine.”

An Eltek product built entirely on the Freeformer has given research a huge boost. This concerns a rapid antibiogram, in other words a microbiological test procedure that allows the response of a bacterium to an antibiotic to be analysed. A patient’s pathology can then be understood very quickly, saving lives.

Voices at the opening

Dr. Victor Roman, Managing Director ARBURGadditive from Lossburg, commenting on the collective work in Italy: “3D technology and its reach is of fundamental importance at a time when companies need innovations to reduce the time and cost required to realise projects. By the same token, the partnership developed with Faberlab is an integral part of this process and an element that we consider strategic for the Italian market as a whole.”

Raffaele Abbruzzetti, Managing Director of Arburg Srl in Italy, also sees the collaboration in a positive light: “This is an important collaboration between two independent companies, but with the mutual interest of offering additive manufacturing and its prospects with machines and, above all, start of production on demand. This is how Arburg has established the possibility to produce samples and qualify new materials directly on site at the request of Italian customers. Faberlab can now use the experience it has garnered over the years with a complete machine fleet. ‘Faberlab powered by Arburg’ can now play an active role in supporting industry, institutions and research centres in an industrial region as important as Lombardy and beyond.”

Davide Baldi from Faberlab also applauds the collaboration and the technology: “The collaboration between Faberlab and Arburg is an opportunity for both companies. Arburg has developed an innovative and unique product that can be promoted through this partnership – with the Freeformer. Faberlab offers a laboratory like no other, bringing additive technology to businesses and promoting technological development. We also have a large pool of companies in the plastics sector, many of which are already Arburg customers. In this way, the needs of the two partners can be merged very well.

Arburg’s Freeformer works hand-in-glove with production and, as an open system, fits with Faberlab’s development goals to perfection. “The collaboration is also an opportunity for companies to get closer to an innovative new technology.”

Almost everything is possible

In the “Faberlab powered by Arburg” Additive Center in Origgio, without compromise means that not only standard additive components but complex functional components as well can be produced as hard/soft combinations or with support material. A wide range of original materials, material combinations and colours at the highest level of quality and stability are available for industrial scale production. Two of many examples are 3D printing using ABS for impact-resistant components with a high quality surface finish and the additive processing of SEBS, a highly elastic and soft TPE with good colourability and malleability. In Italy too, every requirement for industrial additive manufacturing can now be met.

Dr. Didier von Zeppelin, an expert from ARBURGadditive, explained the potentials of Arburg Plastic Freeforming on the two freeformers directly.
