This Arburg 520S- is a used injection molding machine — sometimes referred to as an injection moulding press — manufactured in 2016 and currently located in Germany. Injection molding machines are used to produce plastic components by injecting molten thermoplastic material into a mould under controlled pressure and temperature, and are found across automotive, packaging, medical, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing. Arburg is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in precision injection molding machinery and systems, with a long-standing reputation in plastics processing industries worldwide.
The machine is built around a clamping force of 1,600 kN and accepts a screw diameter of 45 mm. The clamping system features programmable and controlled force build-up, with an extended clamping program operating across two stages. The ejector on the moving platen is hydraulic and servo-controlled. The injection unit is specified in a high wear-resistant version, incorporating a sinter-metal check ring and CrN coating applied to both the screw and check ring, making it particularly suited to processing abrasive, corrosive, and high-temperature thermoplastics.
Hydraulic performance is delivered through a Technology Level 2 configuration: a servo-controlled, dual-circuit pump system with two regulated hydraulic pumps capable of precise, parallel movements. Nozzle contact force and holding pressure are both fully programmable. The hydraulic system is supported by continuous oil circulation with additional cooling and filtration. A pneumatic supply with pressure regulator is fitted, along with cooling water distribution incorporating adjustable circuits and flow indicators. The machine runs on a 400 V / 50 Hz electrical supply with neutral conductor. Barrel heating spans zones 1 through 6, each rated at 3.6 kW (230 V / 16 A), with cylinder heating capable of reaching up to 450 °C.
Control is handled by the SELOGICA direct system, featuring a touchscreen process editor on a 15-inch (38.1 cm) display. The interface supports multiple languages including German, English, and a local language option. Connectivity is well specified: an OPC UA interface enables integration with MES or host computer systems, while USB and CompactFlash interfaces are provided for data storage and transfer. For automation integration, the machine is equipped with a EUROMAP 67 robot interface and is prepared for the ARBURG MULTILIFT robot system, making it ready for automated cell deployment without additional hardware preparation.
At the time of listing, the machine had recorded 13,361 operating hours. No additional equipment is included with this unit.
