IntElect – The Precise Machine

The fully-electric machine concept from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is based on innovative direct drive technology. Direct drive machines offer increased energy efficiency while their greater responsiveness ensures that they can achieve higher levels of precision, improved repeatability and shorter cycle times than indirect electric drives. That means our electric machines are best equipped to solve the challenges faced by manufacturers of mass-produced precision parts.

The increased efficiency delivered by direct drives means that they use considerably less energy than hydraulic machines – in the case of the IntElect between 40% and 85% less than conventional solutions.  And because electric drives generate less heat than their hydraulic counterparts, they require less cooling than conventional machines of a similar size, thus reducing the burden on your electrical infrastructure and the investment required when building new premises.

The IntElect is available in two versions: smart and performance. Both feature fully-electric direct drive generating up to 220t of clamping force to drive the main axles of the clamping unit and the injection unit. Both versions also have an extensive catalogue of options and a standardised modular automation solution.
