injection molding control
Though there are lots of controller packages available for recommendation, we haven't seen yet what the basics of Eaa628's system are. Some questions were briefly touched on, but more info was needed.
1) Is this already controlled by a PLC or is it relay logic?
2) Is it direct cylinder lock-up on the clamp end or toggle lock-up?
3) Is there already any type of position feedback on either the clamp end or the injection end?
4) Is there any proportional control on either end?
5) What type of material will most likely be molded? (type of heating scheme)
These are just a few I can think of sitting here at my bench. I did service for a major molding machine manufacturer and was quite impressed with the AB system they used on the US machines, and the Mitsubishi system on the Japenese built machines. Though I am not an expert by any stretch, if anyone would like to PM, I can hook you up with the name of the EE at that company.
