The set-up assistant is a kind of checklist that guides the machine operator interactively through the individual steps required for the tool change. As far as possible, the set-up assistant processes the programme steps automatically. Manual work steps are acknowledged in the control system. This means that even less experienced employees can set up safely and without errors. The set-up assistant increases efficiency for experienced set-up teams.

From simple parts handling to complex production cells, we can supply you with a customised system. Our injection moulding systems are CE-certified ex works. The automation is fully integrated into the CC300 machine control system. The automation is programmed and parameterised on the control system - simply and safely using intuitive operating logic.

The intelligent iQ weight control assistance system regulates every injection process during production. It corrects the injection volume and calculates the switchover point of the injection moulding process in the same shot. Fluctuations are compensated for in each shot. This reduces the scattering of the moulded part weight by up to 85 %. Your benefits in custom injection moulding: more stable processes, increased part quality, faster start-up after mould changes and exact repeat accuracy, even with recyclate applications.

If the colour or material is changed during the manufacture of plastic parts, streaks form on the component. Streaks are the result of mixing old and new material. It is therefore not possible to produce good parts for a certain period of time. We have developed the self-cleaning package to minimise this time and produce good parts again quickly. The modified screw tip enables you to change colours and materials quickly and easily. Your benefits: increased productivity and material savings.

Read this article to find out how you can increase your productivity by reducing set-up times with the help of the set-up assistant.

In addition to the iQ weight control digital assistance system, which compensates for material fluctuations, the recycling package can also be used. The package helps you to process clean regrind on the injection moulding machine. This is because both the material feed and the feed area are adapted to these requirements.

Frequent tool changes are a challenge for custom injection moulders. This is because they reduce the availability of injection moulding machines. Thanks to the tie-bar-less design of our victory and e-victory machine series, you can change your moulds in under 10 minutes. The absence of tie-bars makes it easier for the operator to access the mould during the set-up process.

Injection moulding processes such as sandwich injection moulding or the two-stage process also increase the proportion of recycled material in the component.

The consumption of the injection moulding machine often only accounts for 50% of the energy consumption of the entire system. That is why we look at the energy consumption of the entire system.

Digitalisation offers injection moulding companies the opportunity to support and relieve the burden on well-trained specialists. Operators can utilise the full scope of assistance systems when setting, controlling or analysing process parameters.

Borgmann GmbH relies on digital solutions from ENGEL to maximise process stability and repeatability in production. The result: an impressive increase in efficiency and product quality while simultaneously reducing costs

Focus on your solution Thanks to our broad portfolio of injection moulding machines and automation solutions, you will receive a system tailored to your needs.
