Your DNC, NC1 or NC2 injection moulding machine can be retro-fitted with a new control system within 2 days. Machines above 1250 tonnes would take up to 5 days to fit a new control cabinet which includes:

A Sigmatek modular PLC for high-speed processing

Full software package to run all existing options (ZE) and specials (SO)

A stroke system fitted with new linear transducers which will now measure at 0.1mm definition as opposed to 0.5mm

A new heating control system wired to Omron solid state relays for direct PLC control – no contact or burn – out problems and faster control

A mould catalogue facility fitted enabling the mould settings to be stored on a 3.5 inch floppy disk

An LCD colour screen display with a ‘qwerty’ keyboard

An alarm-logging page where all error alarms are logged with date and time of occurrence and rectification

Lubrication monitored & controlled by the PLC

No intermediate electrical hardware as the Sigmatek outputs can drive a solenoid directly

Ejector forward and rear stop now settable on screen via a stroke transducer as opposed to altering ejector cams behind the moving platen

PIMMS software package including: Flexible hydraulic ejector functions, 10-step injection speed profile, Last 15 cycle parameters displayed, Recommended screw speed programme, Maintenance programme, Graphical function overview, Start-up programme (alternative settings for production start)

The original control cabinet will be removed by PIMMS and recycled to enable costs to be kept to a minimum

Your DNC, NC1 or NC2 proportional (top unit) injection moulding machine can be retro-fitted with a new control system within 2 days which would include:

A Sigmatek modular PLC for high speed processing

Full software package to run all existing options (ZE) and specials (SO)

A stroke system fitted with new linear transducers which will now measure at 0.1mm definition as opposed to setting by hand.

A new heating control system (with self-optimising PIDs) wired to Omron solid state relays for direct PLC control – no contact or burn – out problems and faster control

A mould catalogue facility fitted enabling the mould settings to be stored on a 3.5 inch floppy disk

An LCD colour screen display

An alarm-logging page where all error alarms are logged with date and time of occurrence and rectification

Lubrication monitored & controlled by the PLC eliminating mechanical failure and incorrect settings

No intermediate electrical hardware as the Sigmatek outputs can drive a solenoid directly

PIMMS software package including: 10-step injection speed profile, Last 15 cycle parameters displayed, Recommended screw speed programme, Maintenance programme, Graphical function overview, Collect /reject programme, Mould safety repeat function

The original Siemens 010 system will be removed by PIMMS and recycled to enable costs to be kept to a minimum

Your DNC, NC1 or NC2 injection moulding machine can be retro-fitted with a new control system within 2 days which would include:

A Sigmatek Dias modular PLC for high-speed processing

A stroke system fitted with new linear transducers. The Philips glass scale system and cabling is completely removed

Ejector forward and rear stop now settable on screen via a stroke transducer as opposed to altering ejector cams behind the moving platen with 0.1mm definition

The original Philips system will be removed by PIMMS and recycled to enable costs to be kept to a minimum
