ENGEL at Fakuma 2026: AI, precision and high-volume production live
From 12 to 16 October 2026, ENGEL will present five live exhibits at Fakuma in Friedrichshafen (Hall A5, Stand 5203), demonstrating how efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness in plastics processing can be increased step by step – from AI-supported dialogue with the machine, through precision manufacturing with liquid silicone, to fully automated high-volume production. Across automotive, packaging, household goods and electronics, demands on injection moulding are becoming ever more complex: higher output volumes, tighter tolerances, mounting cost pressure and a growing need for process reliability despite shrinking headcounts.

Inject AI: Just ask your machine!

The line-up opens with a glimpse into the digital future of production. The ENGEL Virtual Assistant, EVA, understands questions posed in natural language, sets them in the context of the machine and process, and suggests the next course of action. Visitors can talk to an autonomous injection moulding cell themselves.

Every new ENGEL and WINTEC machine will now be delivered “AI injected” as standard, with existing CC300 or C3-controlled machines retrofittable via software update. The ENGEL AI Interface, based partly on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), makes machine context securely available to approved applications – the foundation of a growing AI ecosystem.

LSR precision without rework: The ENGEL victory electric

An ENGEL victory electric 1565/220 – electric, tie-bar-less, 2,200 kN clamping force – will mould a flash-free LSR seal for an inverter component, thanks to near-perfect platen parallelism and a mould from partner ACH Solution machined to thousandths-of-a-millimetre tolerances.

High-volume with a premiere: WINTEC e-win moulds an automotive connector

A WINTEC e-win 1800, fully electric and precisely engineered, will mould a genuine series-production connector measuring roughly 10 x 6 mm. Making its debut is the new ENGEL viper 6 linear robot, removing the sprue as parts drop onto a conveyor.

More margin per cup: The e-motion 380 in thin-wall packaging

The fully electric e-motion 380 achieves an injection rate of 500 mm/s at a 70 mm screw diameter, producing an IML yoghurt cup weighing just 6.33 grams with a 0.3 mm wall, made entirely from recyclable mono-material.

Two platens, one hanger: The WINTEC t-win 6500

This near-standard two-platen machine, 6,500 kN clamping force, will mould clothes hangers using a 4+4 family mould, achieving roughly 360 hangers per hour with the help of a viper 20 robot and excellent platen parallelism.

Together, the five exhibits show how ENGEL helps customers unlock greater value in production, step by step. All can be seen live on the ENGEL stand, Hall A5, Stand 5203.
