Product catalog summary
Introduction
ENGEL and Heraeus have partnered to advance the production and processing of amorphous metals, introducing the Amloy product line optimized for injection moulding. This collaboration aims to leverage new materials and manufacturing processes to enhance customer success across various industries.

Material Specifications
Amorphous metals, characterized by their non-crystalline structure, offer extreme strength, hardness, and high ductility. The Amloy line includes zirconium-based and copper-based alloys, which are biocompatible and outperform traditional materials like titanium and stainless steel in terms of hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance.

Design Guidelines
  • Parts weight: up to 100 g
  • Maximum dimensions: 120 mm in length
  • Wall thickness: 0.6 mm to 4.0 mm
  • Dimensional stability: +/- 0.01 mm

Injection Moulding Process
ENGEL has developed a new hydraulic injection moulding machine for processing Amloy, featuring high injection speeds and energy efficiency. The process achieves a cycle time up to 70% shorter than previous methods and reduces heating capacity by 40% to 60%.

Machine Features
  • Fully hydraulic clamping unit with a patented tie-bar-less design
  • Injection speed up to 1,000 mm/sec
  • Energy-efficient induction heating
  • Integrated automation with robotic handling

Applications
Amorphous metals are suitable for various industries, including:
  • Teletronics: Efficient production of components for mobile communication and electronics.
  • Technical Moulding: Precision parts for aerospace and sports industries.
  • Medical: Durable, flexible instruments for minimally-invasive treatments.
  • Automotive: Decorative and technical parts with high-quality aesthetics.

Support and Maintenance
ENGEL offers e-connect.24, providing 24/7 online support, remote maintenance, and quick troubleshooting to minimize downtimes and ensure maximum machine availability.

Conclusion
The partnership between ENGEL and Heraeus, along with the development of the Amloy product line and specialized injection moulding machines, represents a significant advancement in the use of amorphous metals across various high-tech applications.
