By focusing on productivity, quality and energy efficiency, WINTEC – based in the Chinese city of Changzhou – is improving the performance of standard injection moulding machines for the Asian market with an attractive price-performance ratio. At Chinaplas 2016, the branch of Austria’s ENGEL Group presented one of the new all-electric e-win series alongside a large-size t-win machine for the first time.
e-win: cost effective from the start
WINTEC’s new e-win injection moulding machines combine all-electric drive technology with maximum quality, outstanding productivity and compact machine design – all tailored to the exact needs of standard applications. “The e-win injection moulding machines guarantee our clients a very fast return on investment,” says Peter Auinger, President of WINTEC. “In this way, we enable processing businesses to get involved in all-electric injection moulding technology at no risk and keep pace with the trend towards ever higher production quality.”
All movements are servoelectric. The high precision of the movements ensures stable processes and the highest possible number of good parts. The machines also support shorter cycle times through the synchronous movements of the drive axles and the outstanding acceleration of the injection axis (up to 22 m/s²). The new machines require little floor space, while energy consumption is low. Their compact dimensions enhance surface area productivity, a key ratio of efficiency for many businesses.
At the Chinaplas event, an e-win 1000-170 with clamping force of 1,000 kN was used to produce Lamp Shields. The shot weight was 14 g per component, with the mould provided by a WINTEC customer that produces large quantities of the Lamp Shields.
Hydraulic t-win very well established
Since being launched on the market two years ago, the t-win series of hydraulic injection moulding machines has become strongly established on Asian markets in such fields as automotive and white goods. “Above all, our customers value the excellent manufacturing and product quality of our machines,” says Auinger. “After placing their first order, many of them ordered additional t-win machines.” The t-win machines are used for high-volume standard applications which, although not requiring specialist technology, nonetheless place high demands on quality and process stability.
During Chinaplas, a t-win 4500-3300 injection moulding machine with clamping force of 4,500 kN impressively demonstrated the performance of the series. Lamp Tubus was manufactured from polycarbonate in a two-cavity mould also supplied by a WINTEC client. These parts need to be Aluminium-plating before assembling. Over the four days of the trade show, an ENGEL viper robot was removing the parts and place them on a conveyor belt.
