Make corrections to the process without cavity pressure sensors (if you must)

The eDart System from RJG has three software modules: The eDart flx allows processors to use in-cavity pressure and temperature sensors to see what's happening in the mold, discover which parameters are essential to your product quality, and automatically divert rejected parts.

However, RJG recognizes that it is not practical to put cavity pressure sensors into every mold all at once. The next best thing is to monitor the machine and material and make corrections in a systematic way, which can now be done with RJG's eDart conx software module. It allows users the ability to view machine conditions, giving them the ability to easily verify that a process is running to the established setup and is repeatable.

In addition, the eDart apex gives users all the features of the conx and flx in one system, and reduces scrap and processing time, and to know how a job is operating at a glance.

All eDarts (whether flx, conx, or apex software) will show up on a system overview screen. This screen indicates each machine's status and how much it has deviated from the process that should be running. Once a process "template" is established, eDart sends a record of any deviations in machine speeds and pressures from that template to the overview. A quick scan through the overview screen lets the user know any processes that aren't being run to their established setup, saving valuable time and money, says RJG.—immeditorial@cancom.com
