Arburg Allrounder Trend at Fakuma 2026

Lossburg, Germany – At Fakuma 2026, Arburg (Hall A3, Stand 3101) will be exhibiting its wide application range of electric Allrounder Trend machines for injection molding in the standard sector. One exhibit will be producing connector components for the automotive industry. A second Allrounder Trend machine will be processing LSR to produce ‘Secure Seal’ closures. Both of these machines are automated with Multilift Select linear robotic systems. These demonstrations will also show how easy it is to operate the new Gestica lite control system.

The electric Allrounder Trend machines are suitable for standard applications across all industries and can be supplied worldwide at short notice. They can be set up particularly quickly, are intuitive to operate and easy to maintain, and impress with their high energy efficiency and low capital and running costs. They also offer proven Arburg quality and a globally standardized level of support. The machines pay for themselves even in short running times through their combination of a rapid return on investment (ROI) and a consistently low total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Allrounder Trend is available in four sizes with clamping forces ranging from 500 to 2,000 kN. The injection speeds are 200, 350 and 500 millimeters per second. At Fakuma 2026, an Allrounder 1000 e Trend with a clamping force of 1,000 kN, an maximum injection speed of 500 millimeters per second and a 16-cavity mold from Rosenberger will demonstrate the automated production of technical parts for the automotive sector. In a cycle time of around eight seconds, 16 connector components are produced from PA 12 filled with 30 per cent glass fiber. A Multilift Select 8 removes the molded parts and, via a tube system, sets them down, segregated by mold cavity.

For automated injection molding production, the new standard machines can be equipped with any of Arburg’s robotic systems and the appropriate compact safety enclosure. Each configuration is fully integrated into the machine controller and can be combined to create complex turnkey systems. At Fakuma 2026, a production cell centered around an Allrounder 1800 e Trend with a clamping force of 1,800 kN, compact guards and a 64-cavity mold from ACH Solution will be producing around 9,200 ‘Secure Seal’ LSR closures per hour fully automatically. These mass-produced items are used for needles and syringes in the medical sector. A Multilift Select 16 linear robotic system sets down the finished parts separated by mold cavities as well as into a drawer system for quality assurance.

All Trend machines are equipped with the new Gestica lite control system, which features a robust industrial panel. The intuitive user interface, with its clearly layout dashboard, makes operation a simple task, even for relatively inexperienced personnel: The home screen provides everything at a glance that the operator needs to get a job done. Gestica lite adopts the logic and operational philosophy familiar from other Arburg control systems, supplementing these with ‘smart’ functions and active support. Using the touch function, you can jump directly to the detailed parameter screen pages for the clamping and injection units. Further added value is provided by the Status Centre, which displays all alarms, by the Help Centre with practical online support, and by a digital noticeboard for personal notes related to production. Further new features are simplified navigation and search with AI functionality. At Fakuma 2026, visitors will also be able to learn about the comprehensive features of Gestica lite with the help of simulators. One of the innovative features being unveiled for the first time is the ‘aXw Control FirstShotAssist’. This enables a quick production start-up thanks to the automatic calculation of the data set based on STL data directly on the machine.
