Vertical injection molding machine insert

servo-hydraulicLSRfor metal

Overview
The ENGEL insert series is a family of vertical injection molding machines engineered for overmolding inserts. The machine concept is configurable to match production requirements: vertical or horizontal injection unit, single-station, shuttle table or rotary table, multi-color options and extensive automation integration. The design provides ergonomic mold access, high injection performance and options for precise mold temperature control.

Main functions and benefits

• Machine type: Vertical injection molding machine (insert series).
• Drive: Servo-hydraulic drive with ecodrive option for improved energy efficiency and reduced heat/noise emissions.
• Clamping unit: Vertical clamping unit designed for uniform force distribution and high platen parallelism; suitable for multi-cavity molds.
• Injection unit: Installable vertically or horizontally; advanced barrel cooling and optimized screw geometries for reliable plasticizing and injection performance.
• Tool access & handling: Ergonomic working height and wide access for insert handling; available as single station, shuttle table or rotary table to suit different automation concepts.
• Automation: Full integration of robots and peripherals via the CC300 control concept for centralized control of machine and automation.
• Mold temperature control: Hoses can be routed from above or below the mold to optimize thermal control and reduce scrap.
• Applications: Overmolding metal inserts, LSR seals, sensor housings, fuel cell components (GDL overmolding), organo sheets and technical injection-molded parts.
