Portable system can help you optimise your injection moulding productivity
Kistler claims Injection moulding waste and rejects could be a thing of
the past, if you make use of its new PiCo signal conditioner and Dataflow
software offering. Running on a laptop computer, the software provides
real time graphic display, analysis, monitoring and documentation of the
injection moulding process, based on mould pressure and temperature
measurement. It is particularly useful for multi-cavity moulding,
according to Kistler. The PiCo unit accepts four pressure and four
temperature inputs and has digital outputs for the automatic rejection of
out-of-spec items.
The system enables production engineers to establish the optimum settings
for any type of injection moulding process at both component and process
step levels for both single and multi-component mouldings comprising hard
and soft materials. Once the optimum pressure and temperature settings
have been established on one machine, they can be transferred to control
similar machines within the production environment.
