Mould area

01 Two-station rotary table
The two-station version permits 180° reciprocating operation, enabling production with either one or two bottom mould halves.

02 Three-station rotary table (option)
The three-station version permits indexing operation in 120° increments, enabling production with either two or three bottom mould halves.

03 Non-standard rotary table (option)
Rotary tables are also available in special dimensions, and with four or more stations, for special machines equipped with two injection units or for projects requiring complex handling systems.Non-standard rotary tables, e.g. segmental rotary tables (see large photo), are optionally available for special projects.

Shuttle table as an alternative for special applications
In cases where the use of rotary tables is impractical, e.g. if the parts to be encapsulated are too long or too awkwardly shaped, shuttle tables can be used as an alternative. Two bottom mould halves move back and forth at right angles to the longitudinal machine axis. The insert-placing and parts-removal operations are generally performed by one operator. Both moulding stations are equipped with separately actuating ejector units.

Single-cavity station without rotary or shuttle table (option)
Vertical machines without rotary or shuttle tables are the recommended alternative for applications involving awkwardly shaped inserts or for small production runs with standard injec-tion moulds. For such applications, ENGEL offers a machine equipped with a vertical single-cavity mould station. This alterna-tive is available with a choice of either a horizontal or vertical injection unit.
