Arburg Technology Days 2024 welcomes over 5,000 visitors to Lossburg facility
April 22, 2024
Arburg GmbH + Co KG, headquartered in Lossburg, Germany, has reported that over 5,000 guests attended this year’s Arburg Technology Days, which were held in Lossburg from March 13-16. Arburg added that in total, the event has attracted over 100,000 visitors since it began twenty-five years ago.
“We are very satisfied with the Technology Days 2024,” shared Dr Christoph Schumacher, Vice President of Global Marketing at Arburg, in summary. “Despite the difficult economic environment worldwide and the upcoming NPE and Chinaplas trade fairs in North America and Asia, customers from over forty countries came to Lossburg, knowing that we would assist them with all their questions and showcase innovations that can deliver real added value.”
In arburgSOLUTIONworld, visitors were able to find out which parameters could be leveraged to increase efficiency and reduce costs in their own injection moulding production. Six stations around an LED column provided personalised advice and information on topics such as Arburg’s ‘Action Plan: Energy’, the ALS host computer system and arburgXworld customer portal that can be linked to it, and the Gestica control system with its intelligent assistance and pilot functions.
The keynote speech entitled ‘Enabling your future – smart and system-orientated solutions’ by Managing Directors Gerhard Böhm and Guido Frohnhaus was also met with great interest. Around 300 guests attended the three keynote speeches followed by a panel discussion.
Arburg has been offering its own automation and turnkey solutions for exactly thirty years, and a number of current customer projects related to this were once again on display at the Technology Days 2024. One example was an electric Allrounder 370 A Metal Injection Moulding machine, with a shortened linear robotic system mounted inside the machine guard, so that the footprint was not increased. An electric two-component Allrounder 520 A with a clean air module above the clamping unit was automated with a horizontally engaging Yaskawa six-axis robot positioned between the two injection units in the L-position to save space. Another application was the fully automated production of cartridges with IML labels made from mono-materials on a hybrid Allrounder 820 H.
