www.globeius.com

Globeius, Miami, Florida, offers Flosense Flexible Flow Monitoring to precisely control injection mold cooling. Flosense eliminates part shrinkage variation, warping and defects by monitoring mold flow, temperature and pressure in real time and spotting leaks instantly. It monitors Delta T and Delta P through built-in sensors and a visual display, and installs easily on mold heaters, manifolds and cooling circuits. Alerts reduce downtime, and operators can set alarms to respond to critical process changes. Flosense allows faster changeovers and more repeatable production runs. OPC-UA and Euromap are ready to integrate with Industry
4.0 technologies.

INCOE

PCS Company, Fraser, Michigan, introduces the TC5600 Hot Runner Temperature Controller. This system enhances the operator experience with a 15.6″ intuitive touchscreen interface, making set-up and adjustments faster and more user-friendly. The Easy View feature offers a clear visual representation of the hot runner and mold, with temperature settings displayed for efficient and precise adjustments. Functional highlights include synchronous heating and cooling, which quickly bring the entire system to a uniform temperature, and Mold Recognition, allowing storage of multiple unique molds and settings to minimize costly downtime. The TC5600 continuously monitors current draw, automatically flagging anomalies to detect potential leaks and enabling an immediate response. Heater aging is indicated, and the TC5600 has full internet connectivity. The result: greater stability, efficiency and quality in every production.

Plastixs

Sterling, New Berlin, Wisconsin, offers the TC130 Series Temperature Control unit. Sterling’s most advanced TCU features state-of-the-art controls and a 5″ color touch screen. Intelligent capabilities include Pressure Adaptive Technology, which utilizes analog pressure transducers. This ensures that the unit will temporarily decrease temperature during a momentary or sustained press drop, rather than instantly shutting down. USB data logging improves analytical and troubleshooting capabilities. The unit automatically cycles between half and full heat, and its independent high-temperature safety thermostat protects from heater overload. The TCUs are backed by a three-year controller warranty, a two-year parts warranty and a one-year factory labor warranty.

Wittmann
