Data Transfer Between Simulation Software and Injection Moulding Machine
ENGEL sim link Combines Simulation and Real Production
The two-way interface sim link enables data exchange between the simulation software and the injection moulding machine. This saves numerous iteration loops between mould development and production and the risk of a delayed production start is reduced. In addition, you reduce the sampling time to an absolute minimum.
The big plus of the data transfer between the simulation software and the injection moulding machine: sim link offers the possibility to consider the dynamics of exactly the machine selected for production. This allows you to decisively improve the quality of the simulation and adapt it to the real conditions on the machine. In addition, with sim link as a data interface, you can very easily compare simulation and measurement data by inserting the measurement data from the injection moulding machine directly into the simulation software.
Moulds usually have to be returned to the mouldmaker for reworking after initial as wells as further sampling. With sim link, you can skip many of these cost-intensive optimisation loops and transfer the set target values in the filling simulation directly to the injection moulding machine at the touch of a button.
The simulation values can be imported directly into the machine control of our injection moulding machines via the sim link software. A time-consuming and error-prone manual input of data at the machine is no longer necessary due to the data exchange between the simulation software and the injection moulding machine.
Various technical experts are involved in the product development process. The simulation engineer is a specialist for filling the cavity(ies), the process engineer for machine settings. sim link simplifies the collaboration between simulation and production staff.

With ENGEL sim link, we close the gap between the digital twin of the mould and the real injection moulding process. This allows you to significantly reduce iteration loops in the sampling process. The know-how gained from simulation can be used simply and systematically during process adjustment.

sim link, as an interface for data exchange between the simulation program and the injection moulding machine, works with the simulation programs Cadmould from Simcon and Moldflow from Autodesk. The parameters determined during the filling simulation can be transferred to a settings record and used directly by the injection moulding machine. The values transferred from the simulation are converted into setting parameters and checked for use on the injection moulding machine. This initial setting suggestion can be used immediately on the machine. Hence it contributes significantly to reducing optimisation iterations on the machine.
