Producing Lightweight Components for Mobility Applications
Shaping and Functionalizing Composites with Injection Molding Systems
Structural components made of composite materials are already being used in various models. The market is growing steadily. At ENGEL you will find solutions for industrial-scale production of lightweight plastic components made of composites. We provide state-of-the-art production equipment to run efficient and well-integrated 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 that larger batteries are required for achieving greater range. This additional weight has to be compensated for in other parts of the vehicle. Lightweight components made of plastic and composites can replace heavy metal structures. This achieves the balancing act between low weight and good structural stability. With ENGEL solutions for lightweight composites, you can produce high part volumes with the greatest cost-effectiveness.
Our comprehensive machine portfolio includes a wide range of automation. We offer a complete solution for the production of lightweight components from a single source. From tape laying cells to complex production lines for large structural lightweight body elements: We will find the best combination of machine, automation, peripheral equipment, and process control for you. You get a production cell that exactly meets your requirements and can avoid unnecessarily high investments.
The possible applications of composite parts are as varied as their characteristics. We provide you with comprehensive process engineering expertise for stacking, injection molding, and functionalizing fiber materials. The ENGEL experts are looking forward to advising you on the production of lightweight plastic parts.
In our technical center at the St. Valentin site (Austria), several lightweight construction cells are available for machine demonstrations, technology demonstrations, or material and tool tests. Meet our experts and have them set up an individual program so you gain valuable insights and experience ENGEL technology live on site.
