Six-axis robots to speed up moulding systems
Robots will become increasingly familiar in injection moulding processes as cycle times are reduced and post-moulding processes need to be performed more efficiently then ever before.
Injection moulder has clamping force of 4000kN
The largest injection moulder yet built by Arburg - with a clamping force of 4000kN will make its first international appearance at the Fakuma 2002 plastics exhibition, Germany October 15-19, 2002.
Thanks to the exceptional strength and resilience of the solid body style and brass insert design, all nylon pillars from G and B are inherently resistant to shock, vibration in use, movement in transit, accidental falls and other incidents that typically cause inferior products to fail.
Compared to plastic or metal pillars, G and B products deliver the best of both worlds by offering increased strength over plastic pieces and excellent electrical insulation properties not attainable with metal, plus the added advantages provided by the solid nylon body design of minimised electrical flashover and the elimination of internal current tracking in comparison to conventional hollow constructions.
