At the beginning of April, the ENGEL Group starts global roll-out of all-electric WINTEC e-win injection molding machines outside Asia. At the same time, ENGEL presents a revised and streamlined portfolio of its two-platen injection molding machines, consisting of the ENGEL duo and the WINTEC t-win.

WINTEC e-win starts to roll out globally.

Fulfilling all: ENGEL for customized, WINTEC for standardized

While ENGEL stands for highly integrated and individually configured production solutions, the WINTEC brand addresses standardized solutions with a clear focus on cost efficiency and availability.

With these, the ENGEL Group adapts its portfolio to changing market requirements and provides injection molding processors worldwide with a clearly structured basis of cost-efficient and technologically suitable production solutions.

For users, this means being able to choose, depending on production requirements, between customized, highly integrated system solutions and standardized production solutions, with consistent engineering and quality standards within the group.

WINTEC e-win now available globally

With the global roll-out of the all-electric e-win series, WINTEC expands the worldwide availability of this standardized series for energy-efficient injection molding production outside Asia.

The machines cover clamping forces from 1000 to 5000 kN and are designed for standardized production solutions with high cost efficiency.

The all-electric drive technology provides precise and dynamic control of all main movements. This leads to high repeatability of all movements and ensures high reproducibility as well as stable shot weights. This translates to consistent component quality even during long machine running times and within narrow process windows.

Energy consumption decreases, as energy is only required during the actual movements. This allows significantly reduced energy costs compared to hydraulic machines. At the same time, the use of hydraulic oil is eliminated, which reduces maintenance effort and downtime and keeps the production environment clean.

Process control is also supported by the digital assistance systems iQ clamp control, iQ hold control and iQ weight control.

ENGEL duo portfolio with expanded clamping force

At the same time, ENGEL has restructured the portfolio of the duo two-platen injection molding machines. The series remains available in the clamping force range from 4500 to 55000 kN, larger machines up to 110000 kN have already been realized and even larger ones are also possible.

The available clamping forces in the updated portfolio increase by up to 28% with the same platen sizes. This makes it possible to realize applications with higher performance requirements on the same machine platform.

In addition, wide-platen versions for the duo 1000 and duo 2100 have been newly added. The enlarged platens expand the usable mold space and enable the use of larger molds within the same machine class. This increases flexibility in production.

WINTEC t-win portfolio with increased productivity

The WINTEC t-win two-platen injection molding machines have also been further developed as part of the portfolio revision and are now globally available with clamping forces from 4500 to 40000 kN.

The new injection units have up to 38% higher injection performance. This shortens filling times and expands the range of applications, particularly for large-volume or demanding components.

In addition, iQ weight control plus supports process control by automatically compensating for fluctuations in material viscosity. This increases consistency in series production and reduces scrap.
