Infrared heating technology has become established as the standard in the processing of thermoplastic composite materials. The focus is on process control. On the one hand, it is important that the heating process is fast, on the other hand, the material must not be overheated. It is also important to achieve excellent temperature homogeneity. Simultaneous processing of blanks with different thicknesses is a particular challenge.

To be able to carry out the practical test in a resource-saving manner, the designers use simulation tools to assess the screw geometry. What is important here is explained using a 3-zone screw as an example.

The screw geometry is finely optimized in several calculation steps until the desired result is achieved. Subsequently, test screws are manufactured in original size and tested in practical tests with various material types

The new injection-molding machine Engel duo speed combines productivity and efficiency with short cycle times in a high clamping force range. The two-platen machine is thus making inroads into a range of packaging applications that were formerly the domain of toggle machines.

In the second part of the series, calculations were carried out on the throughput behaviour, pressure build-up capacity and the melting process on the basis of an exemplary geometry. These results are now to be examined in more detail and subsequently optimized.

Through empirical tests and simulation-supported test series, a screw can be designed in a tailor-made manner for the respective application

Shortly before the start of the live e-symposium 2021, event host Engel gives an optimistic outlook for the current fiscal year. New challenges await the injection molding machine manufacturer, above all the current supply bottlenecks in raw materials and components.

Engel is again operating at full capacity, including headquarters in Schwertberg, Austria

Engel Back on Growth Course

With a new process, Engel makes it possible to process plastic waste as flakes in injection molding directly after grinding. Since a complete process step, pelletizing, is eliminated, the innovation significantly improves cost efficiency in plastics recycling.

The aim of the innovation is to process plastic flakes, for example, from post-consumer collection, directly in injection molding without pelletizing

iQ process observer, the new process monitoring platform from Engel monitors hundreds of parameters from the injection molding cell in the background.

The injection molder is truly not a friend of changes – if they occur in the running process. The iQ process observer helps him to keep an eye on the process and thus keep a handle on the quality

The area of application of cube molds has expanded to take in the production of technical parts. The new Allrounder Cube 1800 from Arburg with a clamping force of 1800 kN is providing the response to this trend. With its compact cube, this machine completes the portfolio of products at the lower end of the range.

At the heart of the cube machine is a compact cube designed by our partner Foboha which can be easily accessed from above. The rotation of the cube is powered servo-electrically and the horizontal movement relies on rack and pinion mechanisms

Marking an important milestone for the Sumitomo (SHI) Demag all-electric IntElect machine series, CEO Gerd Liebig is handing over the 80,000th model at K 2022 to representatives of long-standing customer TE Connectivity based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

Marking an important milestone for the Sumitomo (SHI) Demag all-electric IntElect machine series, CEO Gerd Liebig is handing over the 80,000th model at K 2022 to representatives of long-standing customer TE Connectivity based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The fast and energy-efficient IntElect 2 S 100/470–110 will be located at the Esztergom production site in Hungary, where it will injection mold technical components destined for the automotive industry.

Since 1986, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag has supplied TE Connectivity with more than 500 injection molding machines during this longstanding cooperation spanning over 35 years. As specialists in connection and sensor products, over half of this machine park installed across a number of the Group’s European and international locations by the Japanese-German machinery manufacturer were fully electric.

The milestone machine is being dispatched by the company’s plant in Wiehe, Thuringia, Germany. It is here where Sumitomo (SHI) Demag has exclusively manufactured its all-electric injection molding machines IntElect series for the past six years following a production changeover. With locations in Germany, Japan and China, the company claims that it is the global market leader in all-electric injection molding machines. Additionally, more than 90 percent of its machines and manufactured with the corresponding drive.
