Reading an Arburg model name

An Arburg name such as 570 C 2000-800 carries the size of the machine. The first number follows the tie-bar spacing, so a 470 is listed with 18.5 inches between the tie bars. The number after the letter tracks clamp force in kilonewtons, so a 1000 is listed at about 110 tons and a 2000 at about 220 to 240 tons. The last number does not give the shot size directly, so read the shot size on the listing.

Hydraulic, electric and vertical

Most Arburgs on KD Machinery’s record are horizontal machines. The ones listed as electric are mostly A and E models, built from 2004 on. Vertical machines, the T and V models, are common among the rest, and some come with a rotary table. A U machine on the record was noted as able to run either horizontal or vertical. Decide which you need before comparing, because a vertical press and a horizontal one of the same tonnage do different jobs.

Selogica on nearly every machine

Nearly every Arburg KD Machinery has listed from 1998 on, where the listing names the control, runs Selogica. Ask which Selogica version is installed and whether the machine’s mold data and setups can be exported.

What to check on a used Arburg

Ask for the hours, and whether they are machine hours or automatic-cycle hours; several listings give one or the other. Run a mold if you can, or at least cycle the clamp and the injection unit and watch the pressure and temperature readings settle. Check the screw and barrel for wear, the heater bands, and the hydraulic oil and filters. Confirm the robot interface, core pulls and air blow work, since most of these machines have them.
