Priamus to demonstrate new modular line of software for injection molding at NPE2012Priamus to demonstrate new modular line of software for injection molding at NPE2012

Priamus has released a new modular line of software to enable “complete” control of the injection molding process. The system, called the Fillcontrol, can distinguish the proper flow of the melt, as well as compression, cooling and shrinkage during the process.

Priamus will demonstrate the new Fillcontrols at NPE2012 as follows:

Bauer Plastics Technology Group, booth (#1221): Control of the gas-assist process.

Krauss-Maffei Corp., booth (#1503): Complete process control via automatic adjustment of machine parameters to maintain part characteristics.

By the use of an interface with the molding machine, machine parameters are automatically adjusted so that consistent molded part characteristics are continuously maintained, the company stated. Cavity pressure and cavity temperature sensors provide the input information for these adaptive controls. Process and subsequent part reproducibility occur independently of the location or molding machine.

“This process can simplify mold transfers, start-ups, and production runs and greatly increases profitability for manufacturing operations,” the company stated in a news release.

With its modular platform, the Fillcontrol system can be configured to meet specific application needs. Combined with the new digital Priamus BlueLine devices, basic process monitoring through complete process control can be accomplished.

The Priamus control package also includes automatic balancing and control for hot runner molds.
