en.Wedoany.com Reported - With the continuous development of electric mobility and the automotive industry in China, Arburg will present a precision turnkey system specifically designed for the automotive sector at the 2026 Chinaplas. This system integrates a turntable injection molding machine with automated part handling. The core equipment is the Allrounder 1600 T turntable machine, which uses a two-step process for metal insert overmolding to produce ready-to-use automotive connectors. It is equipped with two six-axis robots for handling.
The Allrounder 1600 T turntable machine features a clamping force of 2000 kN and is equipped with a servo-electric three-station turntable with a diameter of 1600 mm, enabling simultaneous execution of insert placement, overmolding, and part removal. The complete system was developed by the Arburg Technology Factory (ATF) team in Pinghu, China, utilizing a 4+2 cavity mold from Kanglong, HB-Therm temperature control technology, and a Motan drying system. The production process is divided into two steps: A small six-axis robot delivers inserts via a conveying system, and a large six-axis robot positions the inserts at the first station for overmolding with glass fiber-reinforced PBT. The preforms are then transferred to the second station to complete the secondary overmolding, with a shot weight of 138.4 grams and a cycle time of approximately 60 seconds. After demolding at the third station, the large six-axis robot transfers the parts to a conveying platform, where the small six-axis robot performs stacking.
The Allrounder T series vertical injection molding machines are suitable for producing precision injection molded parts. The rotary table supports various processes, and the free-space system provides ample space for mold connections. Electric drives and precise positioning ensure operational accuracy, protect the mold from damage, and simultaneous operations shorten cycle times. The system offers flexible configuration and high safety standards, performing well in the mobility and medical technology sectors. Thanks to the control system's injection memory function and intelligent features, setup and operation are simplified. At the 2026 Chinaplas, a solution based on the Allrounder 1600 T turntable machine will demonstrate the production process of automotive connectors live.
