“We have completely redeveloped the Allrounder Trend – from the all-electric drive train, energy-efficient clamping and high-performance injection unit to the dynamic electric ejector and the new Gestica lite control variant. This ensures repeatable and reliable part production,” stated Guido Frohnhaus, Managing Director Technology & Engineering. “The machine technology is very easy to master, even without specialist personnel, and enables quick and easy entry into injection moulding of standard components”.
The Allrounder Trend line is aimed at a range of industries, including technical injection moulding and electronics. However, Arburg stated that this it is not a high-speed machine, with its performance optimised for standard applications.
At market launch, there are four sizes in the clamping force range from 500-2,000 kN and with electric injection units in sizes 100-800. The injection speed is between 200-500 millimetres per second.
Tobias Baur, Managing Director Sales and After Sales, added, “Our new Trend performance level offers high cost efficiency coupled with proven Arburg quality and globally standardised service. We wish to reach existing customers worldwide as well as completely new target groups who do not yet have an Allrounder in their injection moulding production facilities.”
The naming style has also been updated: in the new system, the clamping force follows the product name Allrounder. The Allrounder 1000 e Trend, for example, has a clamping force of 1,000 kN; the ‘e’ stands for electric and ‘Trend’ for the performance level in the standard machine segment.
Trend machines are intended to offer low investment and operating costs, in terms of both returns on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO). Arburg intends these attributes to appeal to new markets in which parts must be produced efficiently and cheaply. The company also considered this when designing the machines’ slim footprint, enabling space-optimised production.
The easily accessible large mould installation space and interfaces for electronics, pneumatics and cooling water close to the mould enable convenient setup and start-up. Peripheral devices can be connected using ‘Plug & Work’, and the cylinder module can also be replaced quickly when needed.
Simplified maintenance
Arburg has also placed emphasis on ease of maintenance and low maintenance requirements. For better accessibility and simpler setup, the safety gate has been significantly enlarged, and the sliding guard on the injection unit can be opened wide in two stages. The maintenance points on the injection and clamping unit, e.g. for grease lubrication, are easy to access without the need for special tools.
The new electric Trend machines will be available worldwide from spring 2026.
