TABLE OF CONTENTS Like most manufacturers, the first ARBURG injection moulding machine was born of the necessity to perfect their own products. As a consequence, practical requirements were systematically incorporated in the design of the ARBURG ALLROUNDER from the very outset. Injection moulding machines continue to be modelled on the special needs of the customers. The objective is to offer machines that function ideally under the though conditions of day-to-day operation.
In other words, all machines must work accurately and smoothly, providing simple and reliable access to complex technical procedures using technology that is easy to operate. Many modern injection moulding machines meet these requirements: day in, day out, all over the world.
The user-friendliness of a machine, and thus its efficiency, depends not only on a perfected concept but also on the availability of the comprehensive services needed to round off a thorough customer support system. These services may include rapid telephone diagnosis, effective support by a customer service organisation and computer-controlled spare parts service. These facilities may also be backed by leasing and credit arrangements. Training courses may be available as well advice in the areas of mould design and machine planning.
With the benefit of many years of experience, manufacturers such as ARBURG have process engineers able to assist in the design and production of moulds. Their sound knowledge can save time and money when considering equipping and installing new machines. This kind of expert system is increasingly necessary to compete in the world of injection moulding.
