Digital solutions in injection molding

If deviations during injection molding production occur, our digital solutions react immediately without affecting the cycle time. For example, the changeover point and the holding pressure profile are adjusted to current conditions shot by shot. This ensures consistently high product quality.

Our digital assistance tools determine the optimum production parameters - either suggest them or set them automatically. These settings reduce energy and water consumption during temperature control. But also minimize scrap and mold wear through optimized clamping force settings.

Recycled materials are naturally subject to greater batch fluctuations than virgin materials. Digital solutions from ENGEL’s inject 4.0 program help to significantly reduce influences on the process automatically. Recyclates can be used for a wider range of applications than before. Additionally, our plastic recycling processes save CO₂ and costs.

Our digital solutions ensure greater transparency of the production by connecting the machine plant and third-party peripherals at multiple locations. In addition, an even better utilization and increased efficiency of the machinery through optimal capacity planning is possible.

Digital assistance systems must make it as easy as possible for the operator to be proficient in even the most complex applications. Our digital products simplify your daily work with the injection molding machine. Therefore, errors during operation are reduced. They also support with set-up, start-up, and shutdown of production.

ENGEL complies with the latest security standards for all digital solutions and works with uniform, secure, and service-oriented communication interfaces such as OPC UA. You can rely on a smooth operation.
