Arburg

The Arburg injection molding machine has a toggle clamping mechanism. It is equipped with a 20mm barrel supplying 0.88oz. (25 gr) GPPS and  350kN of clamping force.

The pivoting clamping units allows operation in four different working positions:

The pivoting clamping units allows operation in four different working positions:

Injection and clamping units operating in the conventional horizontal position, injection through the fixed mould plate

Injection unit vertical and clamping unit horizontal, injection into the parting line provides advantages such as easy lateral connection, production of low-stress moulded parts, improved mould utilization and linear mould filling

Injection and clamping units vertical, particularly suited for the encapsulation of insert

Injection unit horizontal and clamping unit vertical, particularly suited for the encapsulation of inserts, additional advantages of injection in the parting line.
