In terms of performance characteristics, the Allrounder Edrive machines represent an alternative to basic hydraulic machines. They cover a broad range of applications, particularly with regard to the technical injection moulding segment. All four sizes of the Edrive machine series were presented, covering a clamping force range from 600 to 2,000 kN.
“50 years of Allrounder”
In 2011 Arburg celebrates 50 years of its Allrounder injection moulding machine range. “More than 40 hydraulic, hybrid and electric machines, as well as a comprehensive range of applications, provided impressive evidence that the modular Allrounder range always provides optimal customer-specific solutions,” stated Arburg.
The applications presented included the production of packaging and medical technology products, clean-room technology, multi-component injection moulding, micro-injection moulding, the production of technical parts and the processing of different materials, from liquid silicone (LSR) and thermosets through to metal and ceramic powders.
