Producing Lightweight Components for Mobility Applications
Shaping and Functionalising Composites with Injection Moulding Systems
Structural components made of composite materials are already used in some series models. The market is growing steadily. At ENGEL you will find solutions for industrial-scale production of lightweight plastic components made of composites. You will be provided with sophisticated production systems with well thought-out processes. Benefit from economical production in large quantities.
The shift to electric cars is steadily increasing the average weight of a vehicle. The main reason for this is the large batteries needed for greater range. The additional weight must be compensated for elsewhere. Lightweight components made of plastic and composites can replace heavy metal structures. This achieves the balancing act between low weight and good stability. With ENGEL solutions for lightweight composites, you can produce high quantities cost-effectively.
Our comprehensive machine portfolio offers a wide range of automation. You get the appropriate overall solution for the production of lightweight components. From tape-laying cells to complex production lines for large structural lightweight body elements: We will find the optimum combination of machine, automation, peripherals and process control for you. You get a production cell that meets your requirements exactly and avoid unnecessarily high investments.
The possible applications of composite parts are as diverse as their characteristics. We provide you with comprehensive process engineering expertise for stacking, moulding and functionalising fibre materials using injection moulding. Let ENGEL experts advise you on the production possibilities for lightweight plastic parts.
In our technical centre at the St. Valentin site (Austria), several lightweight construction facilities are available to you. Our experts will organise an individual programme for you with machine demonstrations, technology demonstrations or material and tool tests. Gain valuable know-how and inspirational impressions on site!
