Engel Adds Electric Model to Victory Injection Molding LineEngel Adds Electric Model to Victory Injection Molding Line

Engel is expanding its line of tie-bar-less Victory injection molding presses with the launch of the Victory Electric, which integrates e-motion TL technology.

The maker of injection molding equipment based in Schwertberg, Austria, with its US headquarters in York, PA, said the Victory Electric combines the benefits of tie-bar-less design with the advanced features of servo-electric drives. This allows Engel to offer three distinct options within a single series — electric, hybrid, and hydraulic models.

The company also highlighted upgrades in drive components that improve energy efficiency, while redesigned injection units enable faster injection speeds and enhanced user-friendliness.

Simplified maintenance

Additionally, components are more accessible and easier to replace, simplifying maintenance tasks, such as servicing the plasticizing cylinder. Engel said these improvements result in higher performance, energy savings, and increased machine availability.

Available in clamping forces ranging from 30 to 130 tons, the Victory Electric is designed to meet the needs of injection molders in industries requiring large volumes of high-precision parts produced in short cycles. Target sectors include medical technology, automotive, electronics, and technical molding.

Two-stage precision

Engel explained that the Victory Electric delivers precision in two stages. First, electric injection units ensure highly accurate control of the injection molding process, shot by shot, which improves part quality and reduces scrap rates. Second, the machine’s electric drive system offers fast response times, which help reduce cycle times without compromising part quality.

The Victory Electric also provides even distribution of clamping force across all cavities, ensuring high-quality components in multi-cavity molds, further enhancing precision in production.

Additionally, the tie-bar-less design of the Victory Electric offers a large, unobstructed mold area, simplifying mold changes and speeding up maintenance operations. Engel emphasized that this improves overall uptime and reduces production costs.

The machine's compact design and small footprint make it ideal for molders with limited space or those operating in cleanroom environments.

Victory Electric demo at MD&M West

Engel will showcase the Victory Electric, along with its e-mac 170/110 all-electric injection molding machine, at booth 4115 during MD&M West, scheduled for Feb. 4 to 6, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA.
