All required functions for process evaluation and optimization are integrated into a single compact unit, allowing for the direct connection of piezoelectric cavity pressure sensors and the acquisition and evaluation of signals from injection molding machinery or other sensors. The system uses multiple variables associated with the production order, with data that is easily and cost-effectively exported for additional analysis or incorporation into ERP systems.
Software is compatible with most global industry versions of Microsoft Windows 7, with multiple CoMo DataCenter user licenses available upon request. Learn More. This determines an optimum process window for meeting quality needs with a stable process. NPE was the U. This module provides enhanced energy-monitoring capabilities throughout a plant. Molders looking to both monitor an injection molding process effectively and manage production can definitely do both with tools available today, but the question is how best to tackle these twin challenges.
A new real-time statistical analysis system for injection molding reportedly provides a new level of fault detection and process quality.
Eight tips on installing and maintaining melt-pressure sensors in your extruder will help them last longer and give you fewer problems.
Injection Molding. Closing the Loop for Syringe Filters. What Were the Big Themes in Plastics in ? Go Beyond SPC For Molding Process Control A new real-time statistical analysis system for injection molding reportedly provides a new level of fault detection and process quality. Take Good Care of Your Extrusion Pressure Transducers Eight tips on installing and maintaining melt-pressure sensors in your extruder will help them last longer and give you fewer problems. Find a Supplier to the Plastics Industry.
Technology in Plastics Showcase. The ability to monitor a process in real-time can address these types of issues, as well as providing other benefits. The plant decided they needed to develop an application that would help plant operators monitor the injection molding processes in real time.
Producing a high quality product is critical to fulfilling business contracts, and the ability to better monitor the part production processes is also crucial for the overall efficiency of the plant. Like many plants, each plant operator at TGKY is responsible for 50 — machines per shift.
Effectively monitoring all of these machines was going to take a level of automation over and above that which existed at the plant. When defective parts are made they have to be reworked or scrapped. In addition to extra labor and material costs, shipments may be missed while the correct parts are being made. The plant was having a particular problem with one of its injection molding machines that was causing non-conforming parts to be produced.
Knowing the problem needed to be identified and fixed, the machine manufacturer called Schlemmer Associates, a distributor and solutions provider that specializes in process measurement, control and instrumentation. Schlemmer Associates in turn contacted our company, Kemper Controls, to work with them to address the issue. Our solution was labeled the Validator, an alarm and monitoring system which would alert machine operators to problems with the injection process in real-time.
In addition to monitoring the problematic machine, the Validator was developed with the capability to monitor any number of machines and associate production processes, both at this facility and others.
