Tie-bar-less. Modular. ENGEL.The versatile ENGEL victory machine series. The construction kit for cost-effective injection moulding production.

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 moulded part to be produced is not limited by the clamping force but by the platen size. Large mould 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 clamping force will do the job just as well. Particularly when using large and bulky moulds, substantially lower investments are required for machines.

High-precision mould parallelism

With the tie-bar-less ENGEL -victory, platen parallelism – and thus mould wear – is not left to the individual com-ponents‘ 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 moulds.During clamping force build-up the platen parallelism automatically adjusts to mould parallelism. This unique benefit is ensured by the patented Flex-Link system.

Heavy moulds

Heavy moulds 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 mould half, the mould weight can be increased almost without limits.

Ergonomic operation

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

Large mould dimensions

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

Outstanding energy efficiency

The basic concept of the tie-bar-less machine al-ready guarantees maximum energy savings. In particu-lar, the bearing-mounted precision guide rails, the ab-sence of tie-bar friction and the closing pressure lock-in significantly increase energy-efficiency. In combination with the various hydraulic drives, from EHV to ENGEL ecodrive, users benefit from versatile design options for achieving energy savings.

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 moulding pro-cess. Compared with legacy injection controllers, the „mounted system“ of the injection barrels contained in the factory standard, responds extremely quickly to disturbances and any process-driven change of the control system presets, thanks to its highly-sensitive electronic control system. This ensures excellent mould part quality and reproduction accuracy. Control accuracy is even further improved by the electro-hydraulic variable capacity pumps included in the standard version.

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

Accumulator for high injection performance

Extremely thin-walled parts need very high injection speeds of up to 600 mm/s to achieve the required moulded part quality. The required injection perfor-mance is provided by optional hydraulic accumulators. The injection process is controlled by a servovalve.

More efficient plasticising drive

The plasticising 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 plasticising unit and the injected material to be processed, thus ensuring good energy efficiency. With the right choice of hydraulic variant, the plasticising drive can be operated parallel to the mould movements.

Matching plasticising unit

To adapt plasticising 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 plasticising unit is pressed torque-free against the mould, 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 moulding machine. Since the introduction of the tie-bar-less injection moulding 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 15 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 optional servohydraulic ecodrive, ENGEL now combines the benefits of hydraulics with the benefits of servodrives. ENGEL ecodrive offers additionally enhanced control accuracy, and is - above all - a further milestone in energy efficiency.

Evolution of hydraulic drive technology

EHV hydraulics

ENGEL standard hydraulics are based on electrohydraulic variable capacity pumps. An EHV pump not only offers improved efficiency in the pump itself, compared with the legacy PQ control pump, it also removes the need for an additional volume control valve for speed control. Closed loop speed control is implemented directly in the pump with a higher degree of accuracy and without the usual pressure or energy loss. This results in energy savings of approx. 20%.

Flexibility thanks to modularhydraulic variants

Whether easily de-moulded parts with a low shot weight, or complex moulds 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 plasticising 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.

18_ENGEL victory ENGEL victory_19

ENGEL ecodrive – a revolutionary hydraulics concept with decisive advantages:

Drive unit.

The ENGEL ecodrive: the system.

ENGEL ecodrive 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 will be highlighted here:

No control valves in the central drive unit for speed and pressure regulation system

Each control valve causes energy losses due to the pressure differential. The ENGEL ecodrive controls speed and pressure without control valves, thus achieving considerable efficiency gains. The speed is controlled via the fixed displacement pump speed without additional pressure and energy loss. Pressure control is unique, using new control algorithms devel-oped completely from scratch, directly via the pump speed rather than a pressure control valve.

Stationary driveswhen the machine is stationary

When at a standstill, ecodrive eliminates idling and purging energy consumption as occuring in conventional hydraulic systems . An idle pump consumes no energy. This is decisively supported by the ener-gy-efficient machine concept (e.g. closing pressure lock-in).

The „new“ hydraulics – ENGEL ecodrive

• Excellent energy efficiency• Substantially lower cooling water requirements• Extremely low noise level• Optimum for clean room applications• Hydraulics „on board“ for operating corepulls

Energy efficiency

ENGEL ecodrive boosts energy efficiency by radically reducing the energy dissipation common to conventional hydraulic machines. The portion

of supplied energy that is not applied as movement energy for individual machine movements is trans-formed into heat. The major part of this heat energy is transferred to the hydraulic oil and then by the oil cooler to the ex-ternal cooling water treatment plant. ENGEL ecodrive reduces energy losses to such an extent that – with the exception of high-performance applications – only very slight warming of the hydrau-lic oil occurs. Cooling water consumption at the oil cooler is reduced to a minimum, in many cases to zero.

The „noiseless“ machine.

Removing the need for permanently running hydraulic pumps also substantially reduces the noise emission of the ENGEL victory with ecodrive. Energy efficient production with ENGEL ecodrive thus has to do without one thing: high noise levels.

Ideal for clean room applications

The tie-bar-less technology and elimination of friction alone make the ENGEL victory eminently suitable for clean rooms. ENGEL ecodrive offers an additional benefit. The servomotors used here do not have cooling fans, thus avoiding air turbulence and the resulting increased particle concentration.

„On-board“ hydraulics

ENGEL ecodrive offers all the prerequisites for energy-efficient and space-saving production with hydraulic corepulls. For parallel movements of the ejector, corepulls and nozzle, 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 CC 300 also impresses with other elements that make it easier for the user to meet the requirements placed on injection moulding 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 moulding cycle. Complex program sequences including robots can be easily and reliably visualised and edited.

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

Quality monitoring

A wide range of modules for monitoring the quality of injection moulded parts are available in standard versions and as optional extras. Both the direct graphic monitoring of all key parameters of the injection moulding 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 moulding sequence.


Robot. Freedom. ENGEL.

The injection moulding 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 mould 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 mould 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 mould 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 utilisation of the shop floor space. Sprue take-off

The ENGEL victory offers optimum conditions for reliable 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 mould data set brings substantial benefits to the user.

They range from insert-placing and take-off actions at the injection mould, 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-colours. Combimelt. ENGEL.

Moulds for multi-colour applications need relatively little clamping force compared to the mould size. This is due to the fact that the sum total of projected cavity surfaces is typically relatively small.

It is here in particular that the generously designed and barrier-free mould area offers added flexibility in machine design and mould 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.
