New Presses Debut at Fakuma Show

摘要

Advance word on several new press models were provided by two exhibitors at next month's Fakuma show in Germany. Arburg (U.S. office in Newington, Conn.) will feature its new Allrounder E (Edrive) series of "entry-level" all-electric toggle presses. Edrive is described as an economical electric alternative to basic hydraulic machines. They offer energy savings, faster cycles through overlapping parallel actions, and high precision. They have direct drives that are enclosed (along with the spindles) and liquid coolec for cleanliness; minimum external heat dissipation; and quietness. Arburg will display all four models from 60 to 200 metric tons, with maximum shot sizes of 172 to 434 g (6.1-15.3 oz) and tiebar spacing of 370 x 370 to 570 x 570 mm. For the ultimate in speed and special features like injection-compression molding, Arburg offers its higher-end Allrounder A (Alldrive) electric series.
