At Fakuma 2026, the WITTMANN Group will highlight all-electric efficiency with three live machine exhibits under the motto “Smart Choices, Smart Savings”, demonstrating how energy, material, time and space can be saved in a wide variety of applications with all-electric injection molding machines and fully automatic processes. 

New all-electric EcoPrimus

The new all-electric EcoPrimus injection molding machine from WITTMANN combines performance, precision and reliability in producing large quantities.

At Fakuma 2026, the all-electric EcoPrimus machine will produce protective caps for insulin pens inside an 8-cavity mold supplied by Kistler. For fully automatic production with a very compact footprint, this machine comes equipped with intelligent assistance and a FlexCell plus automation cell.

The EcoPrimus with 1000 kN clamping force was specially developed for compact single-component injection molding requiring only a limited range of options. It reaches injection speeds of up to 200 mm/s and operates with the latest-generation B8X control system from WITTMANN.

The all-electric design principle of the EcoPrimus is based on WITTMANN’s long-standing experience with the proven EcoPower machine series. Both these series stand for high precision, repeatability and energy efficiency, and offer full Wittmann 4.0 compatibility.

Digital assistance system HiQ Packing

The EcoPrimus to be shown at Fakuma is equipped with the digital assistance system HiQ Packing for autonomous process optimization. It enables extremely precise control of the screw movement at the changeover point and during the holding pressure phase.

It also ensures well-balanced pressure distribution plus even cavity filling right up to the marginal areas of the mold parting line. This results in reliable production of consistently high parts quality when using multi-cavity molds.

FlexCell plus automation cells

FlexCell automation cells are based on a standardized modular design, combining top-level cost efficiency with flexibility. A WITTMANN linear robot, a conveyor belt plus further individually selectable automation components can all be accommodated on an extremely compact floorspace.

The plus version to be shown at Fakuma, the FlexCell incorporates a fully automated box transfer system for directly packaging injection-molded parts into crates, KLTs, or cardboard boxes, with the goal of producing autonomously for several hours.

The FlexCell automation cells are compatible with injection molding machines of all brands and can be retrofitted to existing production.

All-electric MicroPower machine for micro & nano parts

At Fakuma 2026, the all-electric MicroPower injection molding machine will show its strengths in lab-on-a-chip highly sensitive field of application. Specially designed for molding micro and nano parts with shot weights ranging from 0.05 to 4 grams, MicroPower secures high-precision forming of the extremely fine structures down to the nanometer range.

The machine will produce channels of the lab-on-a-chip sample parts with transparent polypropylene, with diameters of no more than 0.04 mm and corner radii down to 0.005 mm.

During the five days of the fair, the MicroPower 15/10 will operate with 3D-printed 2-cavity mold inserts from NanoVoxel inside a basic mold box supplied by Ernst Wittner.

Lab-on-a-chip.

The MicroPower features extremely compact design. On only 2 m², the machine concept integrates a rotary table, auxiliary equipment, automation, temperature control, quality inspection and further process units. For demanding cleanroom applications, the production cell can be very easily encapsulated by a laminar flow box.

The machine’s design supports material-saving operation, since the injection plunger reaches right down to the mold parting line. In this way, the melt cushion is reduced to a minimum, and the sprue is significantly reduced, if not eliminated altogether.

A positive side effect is a higher consistency in quality standards, since pressure transmission is carried out via an extremely short flow path. The MicroPower requires no special micro granulates. It is able to process all standard granulates.

EcoPower for ultimate precision and energy efficiency

All-electric EcoPower scores with high injection speeds, extremely precise regulation and great dynamism. Direct servo drives and the utilization of deceleration energy reduce energy consumption to a minimum. Thanks to its modular design, the EcoPower adapts itself flexibly to a vast range of different production requirements.

At Fakuma 2026, jointly with its partner Nexus Elastomer Systems, WITTMANN will demonstrate at the Nexus booth the production of silicone lids to cover beverage cans, bottles and cups.

LSR lids.

The equipment used for this purpose will be an EcoPower 110/350 B8X in LSR version with a 4-cavity mold and a W918 linear robot from WITTMANN. For material feeding, a ServoMix X200 dosing system has been integrated into the work cell. The ServoMix X200 is an extremely flexible LSR dosing system which combines high throughput with precision and material efficiency.
