Overview
If you want to make even complex handling simple, ARBURG multi-axis robots are designed for that: compact, highly flexible and fully integrable. Offered as turnkey, pre-configured automation packages, they are designed to be integrated with ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines.

Benefits at a glance

• Plug-and-Work: package solution with pre-configured valve technology and standardised interfaces for rapid commissioning.
• Integrated: programming directly via the ALLROUNDER control system with a shared data set for machine and robot.
• Agile: Powered by ARBURG multi-axis robots provide high motion flexibility in a small footprint.
• Economical: robust, low-maintenance robot technology with options for predictive maintenance to ensure long service life and high availability.

Features

• Complete solution: six-axis robots from KUKA and Yaskawa available as coordinated production cells delivered from a single source (system integrator).
• Interfaces: standardised interfaces and pre-configured connection options simplify integration of peripheral equipment into robot cells.
• Programming: simple programming using systematics and symbols familiar from the machines via a separate manual operation unit; mobile control unit available as an option.
• Grippers / gripper technology: ARBURG-devised gripper solutions for specific automated applications, including dedicated solutions for thermoplastic composite sheet handling.

Sample components / typical applications

• Cable grommet: flexible parts such as cables are prefabricated and inserted into mould cavities using six-axis robots; loop lengths can be set flexibly.
• Luer connector: very small, delicate two-component parts (examples: 0.2 g or 0.05 g) handled by a Yaskawa robot for pharmaceutical applications; requires precise, gentle handling.
• Hormone ring (LSR): liquid silicone rubber rings produced with active substance in a clean-room environment using six-axis robots to meet hygiene and quality requirements.

Training & operation

• Training courses available for six-axis robots: robot system programming and robot system operation to enable independent programming and operation of six-axis robots.
