ENGEL elast 76_ENGEL insert

The clamping mechanism solution is basically the same as that of the standard system, however, the platen movement mechanism was decoupled from the pressure mechanism in the construc-tion design.

Initial position: clamping mechanism closed. The low-er (moving) mould platen is pushed against the fixed mould platen by the actuating cylinders. A pressure pad located in the moving platen builds up the clamp-ing force. The pressure pad in the moving platen of-fers best-in-class transfer for minimal burrs in production.

At the end of the cycle, the pressure pad is re-lieved and the pressure ram moved laterally out of the clamping unit. The moving mould platen is held in position by the actuating cylinders.

Removing the need for operating platformsFor take-off, the moving mould platen is moved by the actuating cylinders to the bottom, i.e., take-off posi-tion. Thus an ergonomically advantageous oper-ating height of 775 mm above the shop floor

can be achieved (for the ENGEL elast 400 V compact model). The benefits: no operating platforms are re-quired, and there is no need to install the machine in a pit. After take-off, the cycle starts in the opposite order.

Innovative system for a low operating height

● maximum ergonomic benefits due to a low operating height of just 775 mm above the shop floor

● fully automatic mould height adjustment

● rigid design reduces burrs in production

With its vertical clamping unit for injection moulding of rubber moulded parts and overmoulding insert parts, the ENGEL elast compact offers:

ENGEL elast compact. Minimal operating height. Maximum ergonomics.

Design with maximum heating plate dimensions

]No tie-bars, maximum scope.ENGEL elast victory.Clamping unit[

Maximum flexibility with respect to mould dimensions:mould fixing platens can be fully utilised. This allows for relatively large and technically complex moulds with moderate clamping force.

Easier automation thanks to free access to the mould area for robots and automation equipment:shorter distances, faster cycle times, smaller footprints

Higher machine utilisation levels and greater productivity thanks to fast mould changes:shorter set-up times - even for large and bulky moulds

Energy savings: the high energy efficiency of the machine is further enhanced by intelligent ENGEL ecodrive servo hydraulics.

The unique tie-bar-less technology used by the ENGEL victory and the electric ENGEL e-victory improves the efficiency and economy of your injection moulding production

Efficient overall systemMachine + automation.

Focus on productivity

Automation has a decisive economic significance in the rubber processing industry. ENGEL is your ideal partner for this. For brush and press out systems, as well as complex automation tasks. Because ENGEL not only has experts in the ENGEL distribu-tion companies, but also at our own competence centres, where we successfully bundle our automa-tion know-how to your benefit.

12_ENGEL elast

No tie-bars, plenty of space for your automation.

The horizontal ENGEL elast victory rubber injection moulding machines provide a spe-cial automation benefit: Because the clamping unit works without interfering tie-bars, it offers robots and handling equipment unhindered access – from three sides.

This means that you can use multiple-axis robots – for take-off and feeding – and mul-tiple brush units at the same time. Keeping a clear focus on higher productivity.

First In. First Out: the FIFO injection units in the ENGEL elast model range were specially designed for elastomer processing. The first material to plasticise is also injected first into the mould. This keeps the thermal state of the entire shot volume constant. Injection occurs directly without detours or redirection. Thanks to the extremely short injection nozzle almost all of the preselected injection pressure is avail-able for mould filling.

For ergonomic strip feeding the FIFO units on vertical ENGEL elast machines can optionally be displaced by 90 degrees.

The FIFO unit

Unproblematic processing even of mixtures that are difficult to take in. Because strip feeding is supported by a tangential feed yoke in the plasticising barrel. Because the entire screw length is available throughout the entire plasticising process, a uniform temperature pro-file is achieved for the entire shot volume.

The plasticising unit

In combination with the short injection nozzle, the melt temperature can be selected so that vulcanisation is initiated immediately after filling the mould. This ensures shortest-possible heating times and offers deci-sive benefits in terms of mould filling manageability. High melt temperatures can be achieved and kept constant.

The injection unit.

The ENGEL FIFO injection unit is pre-tooled for temperature mon-itoring/cooling via two external temperature control devices. The temperature of the injection nozzle is monitored by default (on-screen display). Optionally, the temperatures of the feed block, the plasticising barrel, and the injection chamber can be integrated into the control unit and monitored.

Machine and robot sequence at a glance

The freely configurable machine sequence supports simple, individual configuration of sequences throug-hout the injection moulding cycle. Even complex cycle sequences including the robot can be easily and reli-ably created, visualised and modified using graphical tools. Above all for vertical machines this means substantial facilitation of the machine setup. Independent workflow sequences can be created for the injection station as well as for the insert and take-off stations.

The machine sequence can be set up in advance on the PC with the supplied "virtual machine". Faster mould changing, less risk of mould damage and ideal training opportunities for operators are the de-cisive benefits.

Quality monitoring

A variety of modules for monitoring the moulded part quality are available as a standard or option. Both the direct graphic monitoring of all key parame-ters of the injection moulding process and the recor-ding and statistical evaluation of the same are displa-yed in a simple and clear manner.

This data can be collected and evaluated at a central point via an interface to external production planning and monitoring systems.

Energy efficiency with ENGEL eco-graph

The standard ENGEL victory control unit incorporates ENGEL ecograph, an energy analysis tool. This tool enables the operator to check the machine's energy consumption and to optimise the energy efficiency of the injection moulding sequence.

A state-of-the-art control unit needs to be able to deal with increasingly complex pro-cesses. While providing for quick and simple programming. The control unit on the ENGEL machines, the ENGEL CC 200, is perfectly geared for this task. With its clear-cut, ergonomic controls it allows for a more efficient and safer design of the human/machine interface.

● best possible air evacuation● interruption-free material feeding during the cycle● completely encapsulated● Low material level warning via sensor● Pressure sensor for screw speed control, thus more constant feed pressure to the plasticising unit● optimum access for cleaning (in case of material change) by pivoting unit● all drives electric● speed control via frequency inverter (screw) Retrofittable back to control unit generation ENGEL EC 100

Overview of benefits

Functional principle

The billets of material are fed into a rotating hopper with counter-rotating screw. The screw continually feeds the plasticising barrel via the opening in the hopper. The standard program includes an oscillating movement for self-cleaning. The gap between the screw and the hopper is configurable.

Focus on energyWith servohydraulics ENGEL ecodrive & co.

Due to long heating times, the energy saving potential is particu-larly high in elastomer processing – compared with thermoplastic applications. Thanks to the ecodrive servohydraulics and further intelligent energy features, ENGEL elast machines perfectly leverage this potential.

Because ecodrive only activates the drive while the machine is moving, no energy is consumed while the machine is stati-onary, for example during the heating phase, by avoiding drive unit idling. When the servohydraulic machine does move, it does so with extreme efficiency – thanks in part to a patented pressure regulation system.

ENGEL hydraulic injection moulding machines with ecodrive thus achieve energy consumption figures that can compete with those of fully electric machines. Additionally, the machines need little to no cooling water. As the machines still use hydraulics, they offer optimum conditions for powering and actuating peripheral units (for example, a shuttle kit).

Energy saving champion ENGEL ecodrive:

● huge energy savings – especially in the case of long heating periods● hydraulics "on board" – thus ideal for powering peripheral units (e.g. a shuttle kit)● saves cooling water● far less heat loss to the production shop● very quiet
