ENGEL tie-bar-less technology
Thirty years ago, our experience and passion for our work inspired us to make one of the most groundbreaking developments in our company’s history. At that time, we began to eliminate the use of tie bars, a move that represented a milestone in our industry. Tie-bar-less technology ensures an accessible mould area, even greater precision and excellent mould protection. The concept has allowed us to give our customers long-lasting success – from 1989 until the present.

The mould size, rather than the maximum clamping force, is often the key to optimising machine design. It is well worth calculating the exact amount of clamping force required, because tie-bar-less technology makes production possible with machines that rank one or two levels lower in terms of clamping force. In particular, it is the ideal solution for bulky moulds, moulds with multiple cavities, parts that do not use the entire platen surface and multicolour applications.
Low friction, closing pressure lock-in and electrohydraulic variable capacity pumps ensure low energy consumption. The optional ENGEL ecodrive system raises energy efficiency to the level of all-electric machines.
Barrier-free access ensures comfortable working conditions, ergonomic ease of use and an unobstructed view from any angle. This creates the ideal environment for automation: faster part removal, smaller overall footprint and lower ceiling heights are the result. Plus, tie-bar pulling and complex assembly tasks for mould changing are now relics of the past, with short set-up times boosting productivity.
Tie-bar-less technology is the key to new mould dimensions – open access to the mould area allows space for large moulds or bulky core-pulls. Generously proportioned mould mounting platens can be utilised up to their edges – and often beyond. These also benefit from minimal mould wear, with the patented ENGEL Flex-Link system guaranteeing unrivalled platen parallelism even after many years of production.
