Injection molding machines Engel’s range of injection molding machines includes hydraulic, electric, horizontal and vertical models for applications ranging from precision micro parts to large automotive components.
What’s new? The company’s iQ melt control software, which expands its line of intelligent-assistance systems. IQ melt control determines the optimum plasticizing time for each application. Instead of plasticizing at the maximum possible speed, the system takes advantage of the part’s in-mold cooling time to allow for plasticizing. The machine operator only has to enter the screw type and the material to be processed. Shown for the first time at K 2019, the software will be available worldwide in January.
Benefits Optimal operation. IQ melt control provides consistently high-quality melt and longer service life for the screw, improved part quality and greater efficiency.
