ENGEL iQ clamp control

Intelligent clamping force optimisation

Produce perfect parts while using resources economically. In mould breathing, the reduction of clamp pressure when the melted material is being injected into the mould,

can cause quality issues with the part. Mould breathing that is too great or too small can produce burn marks or flash. The intelligent ENGEL iQ clamp control software determines the optimum clamping force quickly, automatically keeping mould breathing within the ideal range and thus reducing rejects.

resource-friendly production – an optimised clamping force boosts energy efficiency and reduces wear on the mould

reduced reject rate – achieves a significant reduction in the number of parts with burn marks (diesel effect) or flashes

consistent quality – automatically determines the ideal clamping force and adapts it accordingly when changes in the process occur

cost-effective process optimisation – simple monitoring of quality-relevant information at the mould without additional sensors
