With an annual output of 250,000 pieces, Arburg's turnkey solution reduces costs and increases efficiency for Mexican auto parts factories

It is reported that Mexico needs to provide millions of parts for the North American automobile market every year.
Hybrid injection molding machine ALLROUNDER 1120H with GESTICA control system
.
It is understood that this is also Arburg's largest model, an injection molding machine with a total weight of 650 tons
.

The material used in this product is glass fiber reinforced PP GF50, which is sent to the T1 supplier near the headquarters after the production is completed
.
In the next few years, 250,000 products will need to be mass-produced annually
.

Timo Arnold, Chief Operating Officer of TB&C Group, said: “Initially, we chose a machine with a clamping force of 1,000 tons to produce the water tank
.
While the clamping force of the Allrounder 1120H is only 650 tons, its electric articulating arm clamping system works well.
Precise and extremely dynamic, with extremely short dry cycle times
.
That's why we ended up opting for an Arburg turnkey solution
.
" In addition, the lower total energy consumption was an important reason for the decision to purchase an Arburg system.
The solution integrates automation, cost-effectiveness and after-sales service
.

The turnkey system uses Arburg's latest GESTICA control system with four auxiliary software packages and an integrated six-axis manipulator
.
When producing the water tank, the seven bushings conveyed by the three conveying units through the vibrating conveyor are separated one by one
.
The six-axis robot then removes these bushings, inserts them into the mold, and removes the injection molded part and places it on the conveyor belt for the next injection
.

According to Timo Arnold, "the machine operator can quickly become familiar with the system and operate independently from the start
.
" When asked about the advantages of TB&C and Arburg's cooperation since 2004, he concluded: "All in one (all in one)
.
"

Turnkey systems and ALS (Central Computer Control System) are used in all TB&C plants
.
Timo Arnold said: “With ALS, reports can be automatically created internally to provide important performance indicators
.
Data and reports can also be provided to customers when they need to conduct QA audits or want to view KPIs
.
Today , relying on our expertise, we can establish a strong foothold in the electric vehicle market
.
Of course, this is also thanks to the help of Arburg
