At Fakuma 2026, Arburg will present a comprehensive set of smart and innovative products. The focus and centerpiece will be its “Digital Services & Software” across the entire value chain. Six machine exhibits, new robotic systems, and complex turnkey plants will also be on display.

Arburg will highlight “Smartest Factory” theme at Fakuma 2026.

Spotlight: Digitalization across the entire value chain

Arburg offers a full range of digitalization solutions – from innovative injection molding technologies, including smart assistants and AI-supported features, to efficient automation and turnkey systems, and to the digital interlinkage of the complete production process.

At the center of Arburg’s stand, experts will demonstrate how all these features interlock and work together optimally along the value chain using screens and simulators.

The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of Arburg’s in-house developed host computer system (ALS). This modular MES from Arburg, which will also be available as a cloud-based model in future, creates transparency in production, increases Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and can be interlinked with the arburgXworld customer portal.

The customer portal, in turn, offers numerous apps, including AI-supported ones, that boost productivity in day-to-day operations. Finally, smart assistants and pilots help to reduce unit costs without compromising on part quality.

14 machines on display

A total of 14 Arburg machines will be on display at Fakuma 2026 – six Allrounders on Arburg’s own stand and another eight on partner stands – covering from standard machines to automated micro and multi-component production cells, and complex turnkey systems for the medical technology sector.

Highlight will be two standard electric machines featuring the intuitive Gestica lite control system, with live demonstrations.

One is the efficient production of LSR closures demonstrated by a production cell centered around an Allrounder 1800 e Trend, equipped with a 64-cavity tool and a Multilift Select 16 linear robot system. Another is the Allrounder Trend 1000 e demonstrating technical injection molding by producing free-falling connector components for the electronics industry.

At Fakuma 2026, an electric Allrounder 1800 e Trend will be automatically producing LSR closures.

Automation and turnkey projects will also be featured, including a turnkey system centered around a vertical Allrounder 475 V with a Kuka six-axis robot, which uses in-mold decoration (IMD) to produce high-quality covers for key fobs.

An electric Allrounder 270 A with a micro injection module and a linear Multilift Select 4 demonstrates the micro-injection molding of four micro-filters, each weighing 0.004 grams, with complex geometries.

The medical experts have further developed the digitally interlinked “NextGen Medical Solution” production cell, centered around an electric Allrounder 570 A in a cleanroom version, so that it can now also produce injector pens from recycled material. An AI-supported software tool ensures consistently high part quality.

Another exciting application is the two-component process centered around an Allrounder More 2000, which uses a complex 32-cavity tool to produce two-color dominoes. The assembly of the game set, ready for use, and its output to trade visitors is managed by, amongst other things, a Multilift V 30 and a collaborative cobot. Furthermore, this application showcases further innovations in automation and robotic systems.
