ENGEL victory advantages

Large mould area

The advantages of the barrier-free mould area are particularly noticeable when large moulds or
bulky core pulls are being used. The generous dimensions of the mould mounting platens can be
used right up to the edges – and often beyond.

Excellent energy efficiency

The low friction levels, closing pressure lock-in and ENGEL ecodrive system make it possible to match
the energy efficiency levels achieved by all-electric machines in the production of technically complex
parts.

Outstanding availability
More productivity thanks to short set-up times: the lack of tie bars means moulds can be changed
quickly even when they are large and bulky. The low-friction robust design also keeps the main-
tenance costs for the machine extremely low.

Ideal for automation

Integration made easy: benefit from faster part removal, a smaller machine footprint and the lower ma-
chine height made possible by horizontal access to the mould area.

Optimal mould protection

The central Flex-Link element enables the moving mould mounting platen to follow the mould preci-
sely while the clamping force is building up: the platen lifts itself from the linear bearings, automati-
cally aligns the platen parallelism to the current mould parallelism and thus distributes the clamping
force evenly across the entire mould cross section. As a result, transverse forces are prevented,
prolonging the service life of the mould.

Consistent part quality

The hydraulic injection units boast outstanding injection process control – the standard clamped
injection piston responds extremely quickly and sensitively to any changes to the control parame-
ters. In addition, the patented force divider provides optimal distribution of the clamping force and
therefore uniform compression across the entire mould cross section. Regardless of whether a part
is moulded at the centre or the edge of the mould, the victory ensures consistent quality, especially
when the mould contains a high number of cavities.

Perfect clean room compatibility

The tie-bar-less mould area reduces air turbulence and the low-emission drive technology without
fans (the ENGEL ecodrive system is optional) making the victory perfectly suited to clean room
production.

victory
 ENGEL victory clamping unit

Precise clamp system

Each tie-bar-less clamping unit is aligned precisely prior to delivery using the highly sensitive platen
parallelism adjustment mechanism. This guarantees a long service life for both the machine and the
moulds used. As the clamping force increases, the platen parallelism of the ENGEL victory auto-
matically adapts to the mould parallelism. This unique advantage is realised through the innovative
Flex-Link system.

Heavy moulds
Heavy moulds are no problem for the tie-bar-less clamping unit. The high-precision platen paralle-
lism is adequately ensured by the preloaded tension of the Flex-Link system and support provided
by the solid C frame. And thanks to the use of additional bearings to support the moving mould half,
the mould weight can be increased almost without limits.

Ergonomic operation
The tie-bar-less technology makes working in the mould area easy and comfortable – the operator
can carry out all important tasks such as cleaning and spraying without having to stoop down and
reach between tie-bars. And this is possible from any angle.

Smaller machines
The smaller machine size allows up to 10% more parts to be produced on the same floorspace: the
large and freely accessible mould area means that an ENGEL victory machine with a considerably
lower maximum clamping force can be used than would normally be necessary to use a mould
of the same size on a tie-bar machine. This is a significant advantage, especially in multiple-cavity
applications, because then the required clamping force is usually very low compared to the mould

flexible precise size. The smaller dimensions also provide an extra bonus: there is more room for peripheral equip-
ment or additional production cells.
protecting the mould
durable Outstanding energy efficiency
The tie-bar-less principle provides significant advantages when it comes to resource-friendly pro-
duction: in particular, the precise guide system with ball-bearings, the absence of tie-bar friction
and the clamp pressure lock-in significantly increase energy efficiency. And if you add ENGEL's
optional ecodrive system, you will save the maximum amount of energy possible with your ENGEL
victory.

The tie-bar-less principle - best conditions for your mould Correct mounting matters!
Whether your machine has tie-bars or not, please make sure that the two halves of the mould are
aligned perfectly at all times. Even after they have been mounted, the alignment can still be ch-
anged by processes such as mould temperature changes. If a deviation in the alignment remains
unnoticed, it can lead to parting line problems and/or increased mould wear.

Closing pressure lock-in

All movements and pressures for the individual machine movements are, of course, regulated hy-
draulically. But where it makes sense – when holding the clamping force and nozzle contact force –
the required pressure is maintained hydraulically, which reduces the holding energy to zero. As the
cycle time increases, the energy savings grow to a substantial level.

 ENGEL automation

Smaller footprint
Opting for a tie-bar-less injection moulding machine often means a smaller machine can be used.
As a result, moulds frequently use the whole platen surface. The automation can therefore be
installed closer to the mould, which saves space.

Lower ceiling height

Production can take place without problems and risk of collision in low halls or beneath crane run-
ways because the robot does not need to move out of the mould in an upward direction.

Shorter production cycles

The cycle time can be shortened by the direct horizontal movements of the robot in and out of the
mould area, particularly in the case of complex automation.

Smart robot operation

The new wizard for the robot and integration into the machine control unit make this possible.

Integrated automation
The tie-bar-less design provides ideal conditions for integrating automation into the machine. The
robot movements remain within a slightly widened machine safety gate. After a short horizontal
movement, it places the parts on a conveyor belt placed near the mould mounting platens. Smal-
ler footprints, lower system heights, smaller robot sizes and the elimination of additional safety
