The SPARK HB pairs electric servo injection and plasticising with hydraulic clamping, ejection, injection shift, and core-pulling. Electric plasticising delivers up to 50% energy saving. 4 patented technologies including Auto Stress Release (ASRS) and ALL-Adapt protect part quality and handle everything from 0.25mm ultra-thin wall to 20mm ultra-thick wall.
The most accessible entry point to electric injection precision in the SPARK range, covering up to 1200 tonnes. Hydraulic clamping keeps costs down and delivers the force your production floor depends on. Patented circular platens, closed-loop injection pressure control, and 15″ EtherCAT touchscreen with OPC-UA connectivity. A practical upgrade path from pure hydraulic machines for manufacturers who need better injection quality without the full investment of all-electric.
The AE is 100% electric across all axes. The HB uses electric injection and plasticising with hydraulic clamping, ejection, injection shift, and core-pulling. The AE delivers maximum precision, cleanliness, and energy efficiency in a 100-360T range.
The HB covers a much wider 130-1200T range at a lower investment, making it the most practical path to electric injection quality for manufacturers stepping up from pure hydraulic machines.
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 at a lower price point. Choose the EH for electric clamping precision. Choose the HB for a wider tonnage range, lower investment, or when your team prefers hydraulic clamping.
The SPARK HB suits a wide range of production: automotive components, home appliances, consumer electronics, medical devices, and general precision molding.
It is particularly well suited for manufacturers currently running hydraulic toggle machines who want to improve injection quality, reduce energy consumption, and increase shot-to-shot consistency without a full-electric investment.
Yes. The SPARK HB retains hydraulic clamping, which means your existing toolroom and maintenance teams work with a familiar clamping system.
The upgrade is on the injection side, where electric servo drives deliver significantly better precision, repeatability, and energy efficiency than hydraulic injection. You get measurably better part quality without retraining your production floor on an entirely new machine architecture.
Yes. The SPARK HB supports EUROMAP 12, EUROMAP 67, and EUROMAP 18 robot interfaces. OPC-UA connectivity is standard for integration with factory automation and MES systems.
