This Arburg 420C is a used injection molding machine — sometimes referred to as an injection moulding press or plastic injection machine — dating from 1999 and currently located in Germany. Injection molding machines are used to manufacture plastic components by injecting molten material into a mould under pressure, and they are central to production in industries ranging from automotive and consumer goods to packaging and medical equipment. Arburg is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of building precision injection molding equipment, and their machines are widely used in high-volume and technically demanding production environments.
This machine is equipped with a SELOGICA control system, which is Arburg's dedicated machine control platform known for its structured, process-oriented programming interface. The clamping force is 100 tonnes, with a tie-bar spacing of 420 × 420 mm, providing the working envelope within which moulds can be accommodated. The screw diameter is 40 mm, the shot volume is 182 cm³, and the shot weight is 172 grams per polystyrene equivalent, giving a clear picture of the material throughput capacity this machine can handle in a standard cycle.
The machine is also fitted with a robot from Geiger, type LR21, built in 1998, which integrates with the injection unit for automated part removal or handling. In addition, two core pulls are installed, allowing the production of parts with internal undercuts or complex geometries that require retractable cores within the mould. This configuration makes the machine suitable for more demanding moulding tasks beyond straightforward open-and-close tooling.
The machine is offered in used condition.
