Condition monitoring
Predictive maintenance with e-connect.monitor
Condition monitoring allows you to observe the condition of your injection molding machine during operation. With regular wear measurement, the remaining service life of process-critical components can be predicted. This helps you avoid unplanned downtime. It also gives you time to plan maintenance and order spare parts in advance.
The condition monitoring tool collects and analyzes data from your injection molding machine. The results are available anytime in our online customer portal e-connect. If the wear of machine components is checked on a regular basis with condition monitoring, you can forecast future conditions and reliably predict the remaining service life of the components. This allows you to replace spare parts in a timely manner.
Preventive maintenance intends regular replacement of wear parts. Condition monitoring, on the other hand, is part of a predictive maintenance plan. Which means, components are replaced as needed. This saves time and money. You can coordinate planned maintenance more flexibly to your production schedule. This results in significantly reduced downtime and process-critical parts that are utilized until the very end of their service life.
Condition monitoring predicts the remaining service life of components and therefore helps you to order spare parts in a timely manner. Knowing exactly what you will need beforehand allows you to make optimum use of your warehouse capacities. For machine maintenance and troubleshooting you can find the availability of spare parts, part costs and delivery times easily in the e-connect customer portal. This makes it more convenient to order the components you need for maintenance in time. In addition, you have access to the complete service history of your equipment.
It is no longer necessary to shut your injection molding machine down to perform wear measurement or inspection of process-critical components. The condition of wear parts is monitored during operation and happens automatically in the background.

I would be happy to talk to you about condition monitoring and predictive, condition-based, maintenance.

condition monitoring solution
 "Wilhelm Raber | Praher Plastics Austria")
In the past we spent a lot of time removing the screw. Now the measurement takes only 15 minutes and it’s not even necessary to shut the machine down.
 "Josef Fröschl | Schöfer")
With the condition monitoring tool e-connect.monitor, we can predict the remaining service life of our screws. This opens up the opportunity to plan better ahead and avoid machine downtimes.

Connectivity and data management of condition monitoring
Due to comprehensive networking of technologies, data security is becoming increasingly important. With ENGEL, your data is safe: Our system meets the latest and highest security standards - you have complete transparency and control over the data connections as well as the transmitted data. A hardened operating system is used to operate the EDGE device which helps minimize security vulnerabilities. The system used is subjected to regular security tests and access is restricted to employees authorized by you.
Predictive maintenance thanks to condition monitoring
Increase the availability of your injection molding machines with condition monitoring of hydraulic oil, plasticizing screws or servo pumps.
The condition of the hydraulic oil is crucial for wear, damage to components and process deviations. Thanks to condition monitoring, you can observe the hydraulic oil by measuring its chemical status, particles and relative water content. By scheduling hydraulic oil or filter changes precisely as needed, you make an important contribution to cost efficiency and a sustainable operation.
Previously the condition of the screw could only be checked by removing it from the machine, which resulted in downtimes of up to two working days. When using condition monitoring, we can assess the condition without removing the plasticizing unit. Our service technicians do the measurement with ultrasonic technology, regardless of the control version and the age of the machine.
The wear of a servo pump has a significant impact on the process stability and energy efficiency of your hydraulic injection molding machine. Thanks to condition monitoring, you can easily observe the current condition of installed servo pumps and detect wear immediately. This also allows you to proactively identify possible improvements and therefore avoid unexpected downtime.
