Wittmann at the Fakuma 2026: precision meets efficiency

Smart Choices, Smart Savings is Wittmann’s motto at the Fakuma 2026 and all-electric efficiency is one of the company’s highlights at the German show. Three live machine exhibits will demonstrate clearly how lots of energy, material, time and space can be saved in a wide variety of applications with all-electric injection moulding machines and fully automatic processes. 

The new all-electric EcoPrimus injection moulding machine from Wittmann combines performance, precision and reliability with outstanding cost-efficiency in producing large quantities. It will prove this at the Fakuma 2026 by making protective caps for insulin pens inside an 8-cavity mould supplied by Kistler. For fully automatic production with a very compact footprint, this machine comes equipped with intelligent assistance and a FlexCell plus automation cell.
At Wittmann, the designation Primus stands for a clear focus on essentials – with highest possible material, energy and cost efficiency, without compromising on output, quality standards or spare parts availability. To this end, the EcoPrimus with 1000 kN clamping force was specially developed for compact single-component injection moulding requiring only a limited range of options. It reaches injection speeds of up to 200 mm/s and operates with the latest-generation B8X control system from Wittmann.
The EcoPrimus to be shown at the Fakuma comes equipped with the digital assistance system HiQ Packing for autonomous process optimization. This software enables extremely precise control of the screw movement at the changeover point and during the holding pressure phase, and it ensures well-balanced pressure distribution plus even cavity filling right up to the marginal areas of the mould parting line. This results in reliable production of consistently high parts quality when using multi-cavity moulds.
The automation cells of the FlexCell series are based on a standardized modular design, combining top-level cost efficiency with flexibility. In the plus version to be shown at Fakuma, the FlexCell incorporates a fully automated box transfer system for directly packaging injection-moulded parts into crates, KLTs, or cardboard boxes, with the goal of producing autonomously for several hours.

The MicroPower all-electric injection moulding machine from Wittmann is specially designed for moulding micro and nano parts with shot weights ranging from 0.05 to 4 grams, secures high-precision forming of the extremely fine structures down to the nanometer range. The channels of the lab-on-a-chip sample parts made of transparent polypropylene to be produced at the Fakuma 2026 actually have diameters of no more than 0.04 mm and corner radii down to 0.005 mm. During the five days of the fair, the MicroPower 15/10 will operate with 3D-printed 2-cavity mould inserts from NanoVoxel inside a basic mould box supplied by Ernst Wittner.
On only 2 sqm, the machine concept integrates a rotary table, auxiliary equipment, automation, temperature control, quality inspection and further process units. For demanding cleanroom applications, the production cell can be very easily encapsulated by a laminar flow box. The injection plunger reaches right down to the mould parting line. In this way, the melt cushion is reduced to a minimum, and the sprue is significantly reduced, if not eliminated altogether.

The all-electric EcoPower is at home wherever precision, efficiency and cleanness are essential. It scores with high injection speeds, extremely precise regulation and great dynamism. Direct servo drives and the utilization of deceleration energy reduce energy consumption to a minimum. Thanks to its modular design, the EcoPower adapts itself flexibly to a vast range of different production requirements. Liquid silicone processing benefits from this combination of characteristics. Jointly with its partner Nexus Elastomer Systems, Wittmann demonstrates at the Nexus booth, the production of silicone lids to cover beverage cans, bottles and cups. The equipment used for this purpose is an EcoPower 110/350 B8X in LSR version with a 4-cavity mould and a W918 linear robot from Wittmann. For material feeding, a ServoMix X200 dosing system has been integrated into the work cell. The ServoMix X200 is an extremely flexible LSR dosing system which combines high throughput with precision and material efficiency.
