Larger All-Electric
Tiebarless Press
At the recent Fakuma 2014
show in Germany, Engel
introduced a second model
in its e-motion TL all-electric
tiebarless series. At the
K 2013 show in Dusseldorf, Engel (U.S.
offce in York, Pa.) brought out the
e-motion 30 TL model (30 metric tons). It
has now been joined by the e-motion 50
TL (50 m.t.).
Both models feature a one-piece
machine frame that makes them lighter
and more compact than other all-electric
machines of similar tonnage. The design
is also said to guarantee very high platen
parallelism and even distribution of
clamp force. They are also very fast, with
injection speeds up to 800 mm/sec.
The new model was demonstrated
molding 15-pin electronic connector
housings in two cavities from glass-
flled PBT/ASA. With close pin spacings
and wall thicknesses and edge lengths
measured in microns, this type of appli-
cation demands all-electric precision,
Engel says.
