WINTEC t-win 6500 with MuCell: Faster, Lighter, Smarter
AT K 2025, ENGEL is showcasing a high-performance manufacturing solution from its WINTEC brand for automotive interiors.
At the centre is the t-win 6500 two-platen injection moulding machine with 6500 kN clamping force, equipped with MuCell technology for physical foaming. This combination enables the efficient production of a B-pillar trim from mineral-filled polypropylene in just 50 seconds, with significant material savings.
MuCell introduces nitrogen or carbon dioxide into the melt, producing a fine cell structure with excellent dimensional stability and surface quality. The exhibit part, weighing 290 grams and moulded from SABIC’s polypropylene F9015, demonstrates how complex interior components can be manufactured more sustainably and cost-effectively. The process reduces both weight and material use, delivering lasting unit cost savings.
ENGEL provides tailored, high-innovation solutions, while WINTEC focuses on cost-optimised, proven standard machines carrying ENGEL’s expertise. Both brands guarantee quality, but WINTEC emphasises reliability, efficiency and accessibility.
The t-win stands out for its robust two-platen design, short cycle times, servo-hydraulic drive and compact footprint. High energy efficiency, easy maintenance access and durable components ensure a fast return on investment. WINTEC machines feature the intuitive C3 control unit for streamlined process management, while the integrated Viper 20 linear robot automates part removal, enhancing stability and optimising cycle times.
Digital assistance systems further increase efficiency. iQ hold control automatically determines the sealing point during setup, cutting adjustment times. iQ weight control reacts in real time to changes in melt viscosity, reducing scrap rates by up to 85% and ensuring consistent part weight. The iQ process observer continuously monitors parameters, detects deviations early, and provides recommendations to maintain quality and productivity.
This fully automated system shows how WINTEC delivers modern interior part manufacturing: reduced material use, low energy consumption, and consistent performance. Injection moulders benefit from short cycles, reliable machines, and compact solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing production. WINTEC offers efficient plug-and-play technology with excellent value for money – giving manufacturers a clear competitive advantage.
