On this all-electric ENGEL e-mac 465/130, 32 infusion valves, each weighing less than 0.5 grams, are produced with exceptional precision and maximum output. 👍 The application features a significant process innovation for enhanced efficiency: By using inline slitting, the parts are ready-to-use immediately after the injection molding process. 🔝 #Medical #bethefirst #Injectionmoulding #LSR

🌿 New Paths to Greater Sustainability through Bioplastics: Bioplastics are made from renewable raw materials like corn, wood, or sugarcane. This reduces dependence on fossil fuels and can contribute to lower environmental impact. 💡 Did you know that biomaterials can be easily processed on all our ENGEL machines? Yes, our customers remain flexible and don't need any additional investment. 🌱 By processing bioplastics, the carbon footprint can be reduced: Biobased plastics often have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics because the plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during their growth. 🌍 Reduced Environmental Pollution: Many bioplastics are biodegradable and compostable. This means they cause less environmental pollution at the end of their lifecycle. 👉 Are you thinking about using bioplastics for your application?

This week it was time for one of our favorite parts of the summer holiday: the KinderUni OÖ! 😍 We were visited by 16 young researchers, all eager to gain insight into the world of plastics. Their first stop, however, was our apprentices' workshop, where our visitors rolled up their sleeves and built robot beetles using wires, electronic components, and laser-cut plates. 🤖 Each beetle received a personalised touch with laser-engraved names and was then put to the test in a beetle race. 🏎️ 🔍 In the afternoon, our curious guests delved into the heart of ENGEL’s expertise: injection moulding machines. They learned how the machines work, explored the diverse world of plastics, and even got hands-on! By producing some plastic parts themselves, the kids were able to experience the magic of turning raw materials into functional components. 👌 Thank you for your enthusiastic participation, and enjoy the rest of your holiday – see you next year! 🙌 #injectionmoulding #KinderUniOÖ #research #excursion #insideENGEL #FutureTechnologists

We asked our visitors to the ENGEL Digital Days for their highlight of the day and most of them said: ENGEL GPT. 🌟 Watch the video to find out what aspects of AI in injection moulding they found particularly fascinating. 💡 Thanks to Dariusz Barton, Ioannis Voultzatis, Jan Strenger, Philipp Vinensjö, Ned Seale for your feedback! 😊 #ENGELDigitalDays #inject40 #smartproduction #injectionmoulding #AIinmanufacturing

🛠 A full toolkit for custom moulders – to make the entire process from mould set-up to start of production, as simple as possible. ✅ At ENGEL, we understand the unique challenges faced by custom moulders and toll manufacturers in the plastics processing industry. Cost pressure, flexibility, availability, and the skilled labor shortage are just a few hurdles to overcome. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of products and services tailored to enhance competitiveness and productivity. In this interview Patrick Grüner sheds light on our key solutions: 💰 Cost-Efficiency: Our Fast Track stock machine program ensures rapid availability. 👌 Flexibility: Our tie-bar-less and fully electric e-mac series machines cater to varied manufacturing needs. ✅ Stable Production: iQ products, such as iQ weight control and iQ clamp control, minimise set-up time and optimise production. 🤖 Automation: Integrated automation solutions reduce dependency on skilled labor. 🔋Energy Efficiency: Intelligent temperature control solutions like e-temp and e-flomo significantly cut energy costs. ➡ Read in the interview how we work hand in hand with our customers, offering in-house workshops and on-site demonstrations to optimise processes and implement feedback: https://lnkd.in/d__nkJSE #injectionmoulding #plasticprocessing #manufacturing #DigitalSolutions #Automation #CustomMoulders
