ENGEL victory
ENGEL Tie-bar-less machines for universal applications
Available in three series – ENGEL victory spex, ENGEL victory tech and ENGEL victory combi – the tie-bar-less ENGEL victory is the ideal modular system for cost-effective injection moulding production. In 2009, tie-bar-less technology marked its 20th anniversary: two decades of the technology has supplied 55,000 machines to 10,000 satisfied customers.
Production with machines which are one or two clamping force classes smaller
The tie-bar-less ENGEL victory covers the clamping force range from 280 to 5000 kN. In fact, the range of applications 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.
Thanks to the advantages of tie-bar-less technology, the ENGEL victory is the ideal machine for technical and thick-section parts.
Scope for greater machine accessibility
Tie-bar-less technology means unbeatable mould dimensions. The barrier-free mould area can accommodate large moulds easily, even with bulky core-pulls. Generously dimensioned mould fixing platens can be utilised to their limits (and often beyond) and even tall moulds can be changed quickly. The robust, low friction design also reduces maintenance costs. ENGEL’s patented Flex-Link system and the standard platen parallelism setting ensure maximum platen parallelism whilst minimising mould wear.
There are also benefits in terms of automation. Robots and automation equipment have free access to the mould area, which means parts can be removed faster. Between them, the machine and the robots only have small footprints; they are even able to operate efficiently in low-ceilinged halls.
ENGEL e-victory
Energy saving with tie bar-less benefits
Hybrid machine with hydraulic, tie bar-less clamping unit and electrical injection unit.
The universal machine in the small to mid-sized machine range, between 280 and 2,200 kN with hybrid drive concept as a combination of the tried-and-trusted ENGEL victory clamping unit with the ENGEL e-motion series injection units. The ENGEL e-victory is deployed wherever compatibility with an existing range of moulds, efficient mould changing and easy automation are required.
The ENGEL e-victory is the best machine for energy-saving production
- using moulds with hydraulic core-pulls and/or hot runner nozzles
- using hydraulic high speed mounting systems
- and it leverages the precision offered by an electric injection unit
- while at the same time benefiting from ENGEL’s tie bar-less technology
The Machine Concept
The ENGEL e-victory range is characterised by a high-precision, servo-electrical injection unit and a tie bar-less, hydraulic clamping unit. All hydraulic movements are powered by the new ecodrive drive unit*. Of course, the e-victory offers all the benefits of the ENGEL victory range. That means: excellent platen parallelism thanks to the patented Flex-Link, CC200 control unit with an intuitively designed touch-screen, and all the benefits of the tie bar-less design. That means: plenty of space for the mould and automation components. (* as of 1,300 kN on request)
Thanks to the large selection of serial options, the ENGEL e-victory represents a combination of maximum precision and efficiency in plasticising and injection and the most economical, tie bar-less clamping system.
The solid frame construction with balanced power flows is easily maintained thanks to the small number of moving parts. The use of ecodrive offers the benefits of low heat impact thus keeping heat-related air turbulence to a minimum. This makes the machine perfect for cleanroom applications.
ENGEL duo
Powerful machines for big parts
Large-capacity injection moulding machines with clamping forces of over 3500 kN have been an important part of the ENGEL range of machines for over 40 years. No matter whether their clamping units operate with toggle clamps or hydraulic pressure pads, ENGEL machines have always been of optimum service to manufacturers of large injection moulded parts. The current duo series, featuring a two-platen design, continues in this tradition and sets new standards in flexibility and performance.
Because:
- Comprehensive range with eleven sizes from ENGEL duo 350 to ENGEL duo 5500
- minimum footprint thanks to two-platen, compact clamping unit
- Cycle time reduction made possible by two diagonally positioned high-speed cylinders featuring fast locking split nuts and rapid pressure build up time
- High-level of operating safety and excellent part quality thanks to stable platen control, precise platen parallelism, and sensitive mould protection
- Power-saving drive units, two-platen clamping units with optimized design and improved performance are the special features that characterise the third generation models.

ENGEL e-motion
Electric Injection – the efficient way to manufacture precision components
Lighter, more precise, faster, more constant and also smaller. The requirements of modern products and their individual parts will always be selective. These requirements demand new technical possibilities. In plastic injection moulding this means: Highest consistency and precision or the best energy efficiency with low emissions. The full electric drive technology in the ENGEL e-motion range offers exactly these advantages.
Electric injection moulding machines are the modern alternative to hydraulically driven machines. For 10 years they have been a fixed component of ENGEL’s delivery program. The servo motor drive technology offers an extraordinary precision level with low energy consumption – and thus opens an until now unexplored business potential.
Highest Energy Efficiency and Top-Precision:
- Universal operation for the smallest shot weights, for standard and also high speed parts. High constant process and less energy consumption with the smallest emissions
- Minimum idle time due to parallel operation of individual Electric drives. Thus the shortest possible cycle times, high efficiency and as a result the lowest possible energy consumption
- In combination with modular application technology – ENGEL x-melt makes the ENGEL e-motion high precision accumulator machine for smallest short weights and the smallest wall thicknesses.
- Simplest operation through intuitively logical, graphically visualised operator interface of the ENGEL CC 200 machine control
