The SPARK AE is 100% electric across every axis: injection, plasticising, mold clamping, ejection, and injection shift. 6 dedicated IPM servo motors deliver independent, simultaneous control of every function for the fastest cycles and tightest tolerances. 4 patented technologies including Auto Stress Release (ASRS) and Floating Point Toggle (AxP) protect part quality and mold life at every cycle.
Patented circular platens and non-contact tie bars for uniform force distribution with no oil contamination. Standard linear guide rails on both clamping and injection units. ALL-Adapt technology handles everything from 0.25mm ultra-thin wall to 20mm ultra-thick wall on a single machine. Clean, quiet, and up to 50% more energy-efficient on plasticising. Built for medical, optical, electronics, and precision molding where part quality cannot be compromised.
Both share electric clamping and electric injection. The difference is on the secondary axes. The AE is 100% electric on every axis including ejection, injection shift, and core-pulling.
The EH adds hydraulic power on those secondary axes for increased ejection force, stronger nozzle contact, and standard hydraulic core-pulling built in.
Choose the AE for maximum cleanliness and zero-oil operation. Choose the EH when you need hydraulic capability without giving up electric clamping precision.
The key difference is clamping. The EH uses electric mold clamping, while the HB uses hydraulic mold clamping. The EH covers 100-360T with electric clamping precision plus built-in hydraulic capability on secondary axes.
The HB covers 130-1200T with hydraulic clamping power and is the most accessible entry point to electric injection precision in the SPARK range.
Choose the EH for electric clamping precision. Choose the HB for a wider tonnage range or a lower investment path to electric injection quality.
The SPARK EH is designed for precision applications that also require hydraulic capability: automotive connectors, consumer electronics housings, medical components requiring core-pulls, and any production where you need electric clamping and injection precision alongside hydraulic ejection, core-pulling, or stronger nozzle contact force.
The EH uses electric drives on the two most important axes (clamping and injection), which is why it qualifies as an electric machine. But it also uses hydraulic power on ejection, injection shift, and core-pulling, which makes it a hybrid.
This dual classification reflects its unique position: electric precision on the axes that matter most, with hydraulic capability where your production may require it.
Yes. The SPARK EH supports EUROMAP 12, EUROMAP 67, and EUROMAP 18 robot interfaces. OPC-UA connectivity is standard for integration with factory automation and MES systems.
EUROMAP and SPI mold standards. B&R, KEBA, and Beckhoff controller options available by region. Local service support in 85+ countries.
