Injection with electric drive – Why?

High Productivity

The ENGEL e-motion injection moulding machine in comparison to hydraulic machines, offers shorter dry-cycle times and shorter cycle times due to parallel operation of the drives. Energy consumption is minimised due to selctive switching of the drive units.

Environmental compatibility through minimum emissions

Electric injection moulding machines are characterised as having comparitively low emissions in the environment. This concerns both the lower energy emission to the environment and also the lower sound emission.  The “oil-free” system rules out the environmental impact through the use of hydraulic oil.

Process security through precision movement

The electro-mechanical drive system, from precision linear guides as well as roller ball spindles, in combination with a servo motor incorporating rotational encoder, gives the highest movement precision. This is the basis for constant product quality.

Fast system for exact process control

For data communication between the machine control and the servo motor drive, the ENGEL e-motion injection moulding machine a high speed Ethernet network with a data transmission rate is available. Thus a perfect interaction between control and drive technology is achieved. This results in almost congruent families of curves fort he process data.

Large power range

The technical concept of electric drives is both high performance, designesd also for constantperformance in a broad process window.

Efficiency through soft start phase

The full electric machine system is „oil-free“ and thus independent of the temperature-dependant viscosity energy transfer mediums in hydraulic systems. The electric system reaches its operating point faster and in continous operation is largely more stable even in changing conditions.
