ENGEL INSERT-2

The right combination. ENGEL insert. In many challenges, teamwork is the key to success. This is the case where a number of people are working towards a common goal – and the same applies where a number of different materials are combined. 1 + 1 = more than 2 In many cases, technical parts only gain their required functions and mechanical properties through an intelligent combination of differing materials. In short, material synergy must be utilised consistently. Overmoulding with plastic fuses metal parts, glass, plastic components, electronic modules and prefabricated assemblies into finished...

ENGEL INSERT-3

Metal and plastic composite parts Efficient, reliable, ergonomic production Significant time savings and no delays, even with complex insertion and demoulding procedures. In machines with a rotary or sliding table, the next injection process step is performed in parallel with parts handling at another mould station. Outstanding energy efficiency ● Low energy consumption thanks to low friction, closing pressure lock-in and electrohydraulic variable capacity pump. Efficient automation ● Intelligent ENGEL ecodrive servo hydraulics takes energy efficiency to a level only achieved until now by all-electric...

ENGEL INSERT-7

The clamping unit | Focus on flexibility and ergonomics ENGEL insert rotary | Rotary table For most vertical machine applications, the rotary table version is the most cost-efficient: during the time-consuming insertion and demoulding procedure, the next parts are already being injected simultaneously in another bottom mould half. This concept has the potential to raise productivity by a high percentage, even compared with horizontal injection moulding machines. Mould temperature control: benefits of tiebar-less clamping unit Since the rotation axis of ENGEL rotary tables is invariably tie-bar-less,...

ENGEL INSERT-8

ENGEL insert single | Stationary platen High operating safety The single version is specifically designed for production with just one bottom mould half. One major advantage is the very small footprint, especially with the single-xs version. This machine is ideally suited to small batches and the overmoulding of bulky inserts. It offers particular benefits in the production of parts on metal bands subsequently separated outside the machine. Very short insertion and removal times are possible thanks to belt feed units integrated into the mould. Safeguarding against unauthorised access in the mould...

The injection unit | hydraulic or electric ENGEL injection unit | Hydraulic High performance, excellent process stability Excellent injection process control The hydraulic ENGEL injection units score extra points with reliable control of the injection moulding process. Compared to conventional injection controllers, the 'clamped system' of injection plungers included in the standard version with the highly sensitive electronic controllers reacts extremely quickly to disturbing influences and any process-related changes. This ensures excellent quality injection moulded parts and high reproducibility....

ENGEL INSERT-11

When it comes to saving energy, overall efficiency counts Saving energy means cutting costs. To ensure an injection moulding machine can achieve its full energy saving potential, though, it's not enough to restrict individual components (such as hydraulic pumps or their drive motors) to low energy consumption: the right overall concept must be applied. In particular, the underlying hydraulic concept must deliver high levels of energy efficiency. This critical basis is supplemented by drive components that also operate energy-efficiently. In the ENGEL insert and e-insert, the two factors are perfectly...
