Chinaplas 2018: Innovation is key to the future

IranPolymer “Innovation is key to the future” – this is the motto of Chinaplas 2018 from 24 to 27 April in Shanghai.

At its booth, ENGEL will be presenting many exciting applications and technology solutions to

demonstrate how innovative injection moulding technologies can help build competitive advantage

and secure future viability. Through the exhibits, you will experience the depth of expertise in technology,

automation and system solutions – and see how ENGEL plans to meet the challenges of a digital

future in the smart factory.

inject 4.0: consistent quality without specialist knowledge
With intelligent assistance systems such as iQ weight control,
ENGEL makes it especially easy for its customers to ensure consistently
high product quality, even without specialist knowledge.
The iQ systems continually analyse critical process parameters
and readjust them automatically, shot for shot. The result is a
self-optimising injection moulding machine.

Economical injection moulding of thick-walled lenses
This is the first time that ENGEL is presenting a complex multi-
component process with interlinked injection moulding machines
at Chinaplas. Two duo injection moulding machines will produce
LED lenses made of PMMA with a thick-ness of 22 mm for vehicle
headlamps.

Processing liquid silicone rubber, no reworking required
During Chinaplas, ENGEL is producing wire grommets made of
liquid silicone rubber (LSR) for individual wires with a corresponding
fine structure. A tie-bar-less e-victory 50/80 injection moulding
machine with electric injection unit is used to process the extremely
low-viscosity LSR with high precision and high efficiency.

A cleanroom solution with a tiny footprint
Another premiere is in Medical, where ENGEL is presenting a highly
integrated production cell for manufacturing pipette tips under cleanroom
conditions. This exhibit too, is the result of cooperation between
Europe and China. ENGEL, Waldorf Technik (Engen, Germany) and
Wellmei Mold (Dongguan, China) have combined their know-how and
experience with medical precision parts and tailored the system solution
exactly to the specific requirements of the Chinese processors.
