ENGEL at Chinaplas 2014

All four highly integrated manufacturing cells on display at ENGEL's trade fair stand combine top performance with maximum energy efficiency while making clear that automation is also beneficial in terms of process technology.

ENGEL automotive: Conserving resources with higher quality components
An ENGEL duo 900 injection moulding machine with integrated ENGEL viper 20 linear robot will be the focus of the automotive exhibition. With the ENGEL foammelt technology, oil sumps are produced on the large-scale machine with a 9,000 kN clamping force.

ENGEL teletronics: Maximum efficiency for even the smallest precisions components
As the first injection moulding machine developed in Europe, the ENGEL e-motion 30 TL with a clamping force of 300 kN is capable of producing optical lenses for mobile devices with a maximum form deviation of just a few µm. Equipped with an 8-cavity mould and an integrated ENGEL viper 6 robot, it will demonstrate this at Chinaplas 2014.

ENGEL packaging: Fully electric for maximum performance.
500 ml food containers will be produced on an ENGEL e-motion 440/160 featuring a 2-cavity mould by Glaroform (Näfels/Switzerland). The containers will be decorated using in-mould labelling (IML). The high-performance IML automation comes from BECK automation (Oberengstringen/Switzerland), and the foils from Viappiani (Mailand/Italy).

ENGEL medical: tie-bar-less technology saves space in the clean room
Petri dishes belong to the standard consumables in biochemical laboratories. In order to be able to optically analyze the micro-organisms and cells grown in the dishes, the plastic dishes must have a high level of transparency, optical clarity and a flat bottom. An ENGEL victory 1350/300 injection moulding machine will meet this challenge at Chinaplas. In an 4+4-cavity mould by Plastisud (Castelnaudary/France) eight upper and lower parts of the petri dishes will be produced out of polystyrene in every cycle.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the Chinaplas 2014!
