Intelligent assistance
To guarantee the required precision during injection, the e-victory machine is equipped with an electric injection unit. In addition, iQ weight control improves process stability. This intelligent assistance system from Engel's inject 4.0 product programme is able to detect fluctuations in the ambient conditions and raw material, and to compensate for them automatically during the shot.The electric valve gates in the mould are also automatically self-regulating. The Servoshot system by ACH-Solution makes it possible to control each electric valve gate individually.
As a system supplier, Engel integrates all of the production cell components with the injection moulding machine's CC300 control unit; the entire process, including the MaxiMix G2 type LSR metering equipment by ACH-Solution, can therefore be set up and controlled in an uncomplicated way. Control integration reduces complexity and enhances ease of use.
A special feature at Fakuma: visitors can be guided through the work steps required to start the production cell with AR (Augmented Reality) glasses from AVR Tech Innovations (Fischlham, Austria). In the form of texts, animated objects or short video sequences, the glasses display helpful additional information on system operations, describing what needs to be done where and how.
Thanks to its barrier-free clamping unit, the tie-bar-less e-victory injection moulding machine opens up enormous efficiency potential in liquid silicone rubber processing.
