Quality Control Package

A connector for connecting an external sensor is installed on the lower frame (operation side) of the mold clamping unit. Analog values (voltage and current) from external sensors, such as temperature control flow rate and mold pressure, can be captured via this connector, and the actual values can be monitored and recorded on the waveform display and logging screen. This application package enables higher quality control.

Challenges

We were not able to ensure traceability of molded products.

Solutions

Quality control items such as in-mold pressure and temperature can be monitored and recorded on the operation screen by associating them with the logging of the molding machine, allowing for more accurate quality control. The system also makes it easy to capture analog signals on the molding machine side and convert them to numerical values after input, which has been troublesome in the past.

Effects

Analog signals from various sensors could be captured on the molding machine side and stored together with other logging data to establish traceability of the molded product.

Technical Specifications

If the sensor is capable of analog output, it can be read into the molding machine screen through a connector. If necessary, a 24 V power supply for sensors and amplifiers can be supplied.

System Configuration Examples

• The following are examples of common configurations.
• Please check with the respective manufacturers for the selection of measuring equipment and whether or not a power supply for the sensor/amplifier is required.

Example of Screen Display

Sensor setting screen (Voltage)

Sensor setting screen (current)

Waveform Display

• Waveforms that can be displayed are "mold pressure," "flow rate," "temperature," and "sensor" *3.

Logging

• Logging items can be selected from "mold pressure," "flow rate," "temperature," and "sensor. Peak values between the start of mold closing and the completion of pressure retention can be saved as logging. Defective products can be determined by setting monitoring items.

External sensors and cables are to be prepared and connected by the customer.
