The tie-bar-less ENGEL victory covers the clamping force range from 280 to 5000 kN. In fact, the range of appli cations is considerably broader, as the molded part to be produced is not limited by the clamping force but by the platen size. Large mold fixing platens and the wide delivery chute of the ENGEL victory guarantee low machine investments, because with the ENGEL victory a machine with a lower clamp-ing force will do the job just as well. Particularly when using large and bulky molds, substantially lower investments are required for machines.

High-precision mold parallelism

With the tie-bar-less ENGEL -victory, platen parallelism – and thus mold wear – is not left to the individual compo-nents‘ sum total of production tolerances. Each tie-bar-less clamping unit is precisely set prior to delivery using the standard, highly sensitive platen parallelism setting. Later adjustment is possible, of course, thus guarantee-ing a long service life of the machine and the molds.During clamping force build-up the platen parallelism automatically adjusts to mold parallelism. This unique benefit is ensured by the patented Flex-Link system.

Heavy molds

Heavy molds are no problem for the tie-bar-less clamping unit. The high-precision platen parallelism is adequately ensured by the pre-tension of the patented Flex-Link system and support through the solid C frame. And thanks to the use of additional guide shoes to support the moving mold half, the mold weight can be increased almost without limits.

Ergonomic operation

The ENGEL tie-bar-less- technology allows easy access and ergonomic working within the mold area. All necessary op-erations like cleaning or spraying can be done comfortably from every angle.

Large mold dimensions

The standard version of the ENGEL victory tie-bar-less clamping unit already offers greater freedom for the mold than other clamping units. Wider mold fixing platens and greater platen spacing are available as options if neces-sary. This allows the mold area to be adapted to match the next biggest size without changing the clamping force.

Outstanding energy efficiency

When it comes to saving resources, the tie-bar-less con-cept possesses clear advantages: in particular, the bear-ing-mounted precision guide rails, the absence of tie-bar friction, and the clamping force lock-in increase ener-gy efficiency significantly. The extra bonus: the hydraulic ENGEL ecodrive as standard equipment means that you will achieve the maximum energy savings with every ENGEL victory machine.

The most innovative clamping unit of the past decades.


Excellent injection process control

The hydraulic ENGEL injection units score extra points with reliable control of the injection molding process. Compared with common injection controllers, the „clamped system“ of the injection pistons in connection with the highly sensitive eletronic controllers, responds extremely quickly to disturbances and any process- driven changes of the injection process. This en-sures excellent mold part quality and reproduction accuracy.

As a further optimization for very low injection speeds, a servo-valve is available as an optional extra (included in the factury standard with the ecodrive option).

Accumulator for high injection performance

Extremely thin-walled parts need very high injection speeds to achieve the required molded part quality. The required injection performance is provided by optional hydraulic accumulators. The injection process is con-trolled by a servovalve.

More efficient plasticizing drive

The plasticizing drive is powered by a hydro-motor. These hydro-motors are available in three sizes for each injection unit. Besides the standard hydro-motor, a motor for higher speeds or higher torques is available as an option in each case. This means that the drive can be adapted to match the plasticizing unit and the injected material to be processed, thus ensuring good energy efficiency. With the right choice of hydraulic variant, the plasticizing drive can be operated parallel to the mold movements.

Matching plasticizing unit

To adapt plasticizing perfectly with the application in question, various barrels and screw types are avail-able. The barrel is mounted on the injection unit via a quick-release coupling.

The plasticizing unit is pressed torque-free against the mold, whereby the required force is set on the machine control unit.

Efficient ENGEL hydraulics. Control of all machine movements: fast, reproducible and energy-efficient

ENGEL is a pioneer in energy-efficient hydraulic concepts. Even more important than efficiency of the hydraulic drive components is the basic hydraulic concept of an injection mold-ing machine. Since the introduction of the tie-bar-less injection molding machine ENGEL has had a concept that guarantees in itself very low energy requirements for the central hydraulic system of the respective machine.

Besides the highly energy efficient basic concept of the machine, ENGEL has relied for many years on particularly efficient hydraulic drive units. When the PQ hydraulics were replaced more than 20 years ago by the modern EHV hydrau-lics, ENGEL already set standards in terms of energy efficiency and control quality.

And thanks to the new servohydraulic ecodrive, ENGEL now combines the benefits of hydraulics with the ben-efits of servodrives. ENGEL ecodrive offers additionally enhanced control accuracy, and is - above all - a further mile-stone in energy efficiency.

Evolution of hydraulic drive technology

Flexibility thanks to modularhydraulic variants

Whether easily de-molded parts with a low shot weight, or complex molds with parallel motion, or use cases that require high injection performance, a sophisticated hydraulics variant is available for every requirements profile.

• Single pump system for sequential movements.• pump systems for parallel movements.• More powerful drives for improved injection and plasticizing performance• Accumulators for extremely high injection performance• ENGEL ecodrive for maximum energy efficiency

„Lock-in“ closing pressure

All movements and pressures for the individual machine movements are, of course, regulated hydraulically. But where it makes sense – when holding the clamping force and the nozzle contact force – the required pressure is upheld hydraulically, thus reducing the pressure holding energy to zero. With increasing cycle time, the energy savings grow to a sustantial level.

The "new" hydraulics - ENGEL ecodriveUp to 70% energy savings compared to conventional hydraulic drive systemsUp to 100% cooling water savings for the oil cooler

ENGEL ecodrive: The system.

The ecodrive system in the ENGEL victory consists of a servomotor with fixed displacement pump (instead of a permanently running asynchronous motor with variable capacity pump). Energy efficiency depends on various criteria, of which two should be highlighted here:

No control valvesEach control valve causes energy losses due to the pressure differential. The ENGEL ecodrive controls speed and pressure without control valves, which produces considerable efficiency gains. The speed is controlled via the fixed displacement pump speed without additional pressure and energy loss. A unique feature is the closed loop pressure control by means of completely new control algorithms directly via

the speed of the pump and no longer via a pressure control valve.

Drive standstill when operations stopWhen at a standstill, the ENGEL ecodrive eliminates idling and purging energy consumption as occurs in conventional hydraulic systems. An idle pump consumes no energy. This is substantially sup-ported by the energy-efficient machine concept (e.g. clamp pressure lock-in).

Reduction in energy dissipationENGEL ecodrive boosts energy efficiency by radically reducing the energy losses common to conventional hydraulic machines. The portion of supplied energy that is not applied as movement energy for individual machine movements is transformed into heat. The majority of this heat is transferred to the hydraulic oil and via the standard oil cooler to the external cooling water processing plant.

ENGEL ecodrive reduces energy losses to such a high extent that – with the exception of high perfor-mance applications – only minimal heating of the hy-draulic oil occurs. Cooling water consumption at the oil cooler is reduced to a minimum, in many cases to zero.

The "noiseless" machine.The elimination of permanently running hydraulic pumps considerably reduces noise emissions.

Ideal for clean room applicationsThe ENGEL victory is extremely suitable for clean rooms alone due to the tie-bar-less technology and elimination of friction. An additional advantage is offered by the ENGEL ecodrive. The servomotors used do not have motor cooling fans, and thus there is no air turbulence resulting in a higher particle concentration.

"On-board" hydraulicsENGEL ecodrive offers all the prerequisites for energy-efficient and space-saving production with hydraulic core pulls. For parallel movements of the ejector, core pulls, nozzle, and plasticizing ecodrive can also have two completely independent drive units.

The control unit of the ENGEL victory is the perfect interface between operator and machine. Besides the clearcut design of the basic functions, the CC300 also impresses with other elements that make it easier for the user to meet the requirements placed on injection molding production today.

Intuitive. ENGEL. Operation.

Machine and robotsequences at a glance

The freely configurable machine sequence supports simple, individual configuration of sequences through-out the injection molding cycle. Complex program sequences including robots can be easily and reliably visualized and edited.

The machine sequence can be set up in advance on the PC with the supplied ‚virtual machine‘. Faster mold changes, less risk of mold damage, and optimum training options for the operator are the major benefits here.

Quality monitoring

A wide range of modules for monitoring the quali-ty of injection molded parts are available in standard versions and as optional extras. Both the direct graphic monitoring of all key parameters of the injection molding process and the recording and statistical evaluation of the same are displayed in a simple and clear manner.

This data can also be centrally collated and evaluated via an interface to external production planning and monitoring systems.

Energy efficiency withENGEL ecograph

The standard ENGEL victory control unit incorporates ENGEL ecograph, an energy analysis tool. This tool enables the operator to check the machine‘s energy consumption and to optimise the energy efficiency of the injection molding sequence.


Robot. Freedom. ENGEL.

The injection molding machine is in many cases only one element of the overall, often complex production cell. Robots and automation components perform a wide range of tasks.

Smaller footprint

Because there are no tie-bars in the way, the robot can move in and out of the mold horizontally when the safety gate is open. The automation can thus often be built closer to the machine, which saves space.

Low ceiling height

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

Shorter production cycle

The cycle time is shortened due to the direct, hori-zontal in- and outward movements of the robot, particularly in the case of complex automation.

Robot simple to operate

The new wizard for the robot, and integration with the machine control unit, make this possible!

Integrated automation

Tie-bar-less machine technology is an ideal prerequi-site for machine-integrated automation. The robot al-ways moves within a slightly widened machine safety gate. After short horizontal movements it places the parts onto a conveyor belt directly adjacent to the mold fixing platens. Smaller footprints, lower system heights, smaller robot sizes and the elimination of ad-ditional safety guarding for each robot secure lower investment costs and better utilization of the shop floor space. Sprue take-off

The ENGEL victory offers optimum conditions for re-liable and fast sprue take-off by the sprue picker. Sprue ejection chutes are available as an option for the non-operator side safety gate.

Automation solutions by ENGEL

It goes without saying that ENGEL also supplies auto-mation solutions, true to the motto of „Everything from a single source“. The ENGEL viper and ENGEL ER-USP robot series are ideal for use in combination with the ENGEL victory. Preconfigured automation packages are available for simple take-off tasks. The ability to control operation using the machine control unit offers special benefits. In particular, the creation of a common mold data set brings substantial benefits to the user.

They range from insert-placing and take-off actions at the injection mold, including mounting and checking operations, to packaging of the finished product. The aspect of cost-effectiveness is usually founded in the over-all concept and not its individual components. And it is precisely here that the ENGEL victory offers decisive advantages in the overall solution thanks to its tie-bar-less benefits.


Multi-colors. Combimelt. ENGEL.

Molds for multi-color applications need relatively little clamping force compared to the mold size. This is due to the fact that the sum total of the projected area of the cavities is typically relatively small.

It is here in particular that the generously designed and barrier-free mold area offers added flexibili-ty in machine design and mold changing. Taking tie-bar-less technology into consideration is particularly important as early as the concept phase of a project. This can save time and money.
