Precision Gear Production: TREND Electric Motor Delivers a Perfect Answer With High Precision, High Repeatability, and Ultra-Long Holding Pressure

Why choose Trend motors to produce gears? Explain it in one sentence!

Chinaplas Gear Application On-site

At Chinaplas, Arburg showcased a system for producing precision gears using the new 100-ton electric machine TREND. The gears are made of POM, using a three-plate mold with a cold runner, in a single-cavity configuration.

Gears with a high number of teeth, large modulus, and thicker walls have very high requirements for machine stability, repeatability, and pressure-holding duration. Currently, TREND can provide...Ultra-long, ultra-high pressure holding at 2300 bar for 45 seconds.For gears with relatively thick wall sections, sustained high holding pressure can be applied to compensate for shrinkage; additionally, functions such as precise screw positioning and material storage assistance help maximize the repeatability and stability of each injection cycle.

Gear:

• Number of cavities: 1

• Injection weight: 54 g

• Cycle time: 60 s

• Material: POM

• Mold Partner: Zeli

Finished gears

ARBURG’s all-new electric injection molding machine, Trend, features a completely upgraded German design plus localized production and assembly in China, providing precision gear manufacturers with:

• ✅ Higher stability (stable and continuous production improves utilization rate)

• ✅ Higher repeatability (ensuring consistency between batches)

✅ Faster onboarding speed (material database + built-in tutorials, reducing staff training costs)

• ✅ Stronger expansion capability (signal extension connection is simpler)

• ✅ Lower cost (ultra-low energy consumption + free built-in after-sales tutorials + free built-in craft tutorials)

1. Brand-new GESTICA Lite Intelligent Control System

• The monitoring page provides an at-a-glance overview of mold actions, material temperature, injection/holding/charging, and robot operations on a single screen, making operation more convenient.

• Injection pressure, holding pressure, injection time, stroke, metering, and other process parameters can be adjusted in real time, making process adjustment more convenient.

• Free built-in databases of various materials, injection molding process information, and after-sales maintenance tutorials help reduce after-sales costs.

Structural upgrade, precision leap.

• Shooting stand structure optimization: upgraded from dual parallel guide rails to a single linear guide rail, with a larger mold capacity size.

• Redesign of the mold locking unit significantly improves template parallelism.

• More compact in size, without compromising precision — engineered for precision products.

Gear Production Major

• High-pressure, long-duration holding pressure: better feeding to improve issues such as uneven sizing and waist shrinkage.

• Higher repeatability ensures consistent quality across batches.

• Improved stability: Continuous injection molding increases equipment capacity and utilization rate.

4. Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring, Visible Power Savings

• The system is equipped with a built-in energy consumption monitoring module, making the real-time changes in electricity usage clear at a glance.

• Extremely low operating cost, a true energy-saving tool.

5. Full maintenance permissions are open.

• Built-in localized maintenance tutorials: comprehensive coverage of common maintenance tasks such as module replacement and hydraulic oil replacement.

• Flexible configuration of maintenance and operational permissions, enabling customers to manage operations and maintenance more freely.
