MoldScan option
Description
MoldScan may be implemented on all cabinets of the M Series controllers. MoldScan performs an electrical analysis of the heating elements inside the mould and indicates the consumed power zone by zone.
The following data is available :
- Installed heating power (in Watts)
- Resistance of the heating element (in Ohms)
- Temperature gradient (in Degrees C°/Minute)
The MoldScanoption displays a summary of all possible alarms (Thermocouple open or inverted, load breakage, temperature deviation, ...) in the form of a chart with date and time. It also shows in real time a graphical representation of the curve for actual temperature versus set-point for the selected zone.
The MoldScanoption for M Series controllers also includes an extra external alarm input in order to use external safety parameters in addition to temperature control. (Machine in service, chill water circulation, etc.)
Applications
The MoldScan option is highly recommended for demanding applications where quality concerns are paramount, regardless of mould complexity. As information is supplied in real time, a detailed analysis can be performed of the reasons for failures or rejects on parts produced. For example, MoldScan can enable the tooling department or the toolmaker to store a data reference file, in order to provide certified tool status information to the customer at the point of tool acceptance.
Technical features
Fonctions :
