Comfortable setting options
The machine control IMC400 is presented tidily: The machine functions are logically structured and presented in a good overview. Setting parameters are also presented graphically.
Alarm function
Notes and alarms are presented well-structured. Reactions can be defined for all alarms (horn, alarm lamp, ...). The log of machine alert data with time of each alert can also be printed.
Quality management
Selective data storage and management for quality assurance in up to 7 categories and 2,000 process information.
Production management
The user can configure the machine to stop after a defined number of cycles or a set time. The user can also configure, log, and monitor cycle data based on the user's choice of many criteria: cushion position, temperatures of heater zones, fill time, etc.
Graphical illustration
A graphic plot presents the production status and values such as injection pressure and injection speed simply and well structured.
Mould settings
More than 1000 mould-specific data records can be stored internal. The mould settings can thus be easily transferred to other controls.
Error diagnosis
In order to simplify troubleshooting and machine diagnosis, overview pages have been created for the machine signals.
Overview of power consumption*
Precise presentation of the energy needed, referring to the entire production time. This makes it easier to assign the energy consumption per cycle. The total production time and total energy consumption amount can be displayed and used to automatically calculate energy consumption per cycle and energy used per part. Real-time energy consumption can also be displayed.
*optional
Subject to technical alterations, errors, misprint and typographical failures.
