Solutions with a focus on customer benefit
Engel Hall A5 – Booth 5203
At the heart of Engel’s presentation are high-precision injection moulding machines designed for modern production environments, with enhanced material and energy efficiency. The fully electric e-mac 500 injection moulding machine, with a clamping force of 5,000 kN, is claimed to combine high performance with energy efficiency and a compact design. Its clamping drive and iQ motion control digital assistance system reduce energy consumption by up to 30% compared to hybrid or hydraulic machines, according to Engel. The e-mac 500 is versatile, with optional expansion packages, making it suitable for energy-intensive processes. At the trade show, it will be producing 4 l containers with in-mould labelling.
Tie-bar-less technology
Engel has optimised its e-victory 100 for high-precision liquid silicone rubber (LSR) applications. With a 256 cavity mould, it is claimed to achieve a cycle time of 12 s and to ensure consistently high part quality. Thanks to Engel’s tie-bar-less technology, the entire platen surface is utilised, thus optimising clamping force.
Plug-and-play solutions for the European market
Engel is introducing the new generation of t-win machines from its Wintec brand, featuring over 20 new options. These include iQ clamp control for optimising clamping force, reducing waste, energy use, and tool wear, and iQ hold control, which automatically adjusts holding pressure to speed up volume production. Many more options will be available by the end of 2024.
Additionally, Engel will showcase the victory 160, producing fittings at the show, as well as digital assistance systems that optimise the production process from design to volume production and service. In the “Automation Expert Corner,” Engel will present solutions with viper linear robots, easix articulated robots, and conveyor systems, all seamlessly integrated into Engel’s control systems for process optimisation.
