… and many other functions
Unique operating functions make manual and training unnecessary
The use of high-quality components ensures maximum performance and maximum reliability
Can also be used universally for demanding, high-cavity applications with slim, low-mass nozzles
Premium diagnostics, future-proof communication, hot runner functions for the highest demands
The high-quality design ensures a long service life and high reliability. Thanks to the pivoting display and the 3-sided LED strip, you always have an overview – and from a distance in the signal colors green, yellow and red! The power cards with external heat sinks are easy to replace and ensure optimum heat dissipation. With our high-quality connectors, we guarantee maximum power requirements for every zone, even at elevated operating temperatures.
According to the new standard protocol for hot runner controllers – Euromap 82.2 – the MCS hot runner controller provides various information, which can be divided into status information, general information and determined process data. The hot runner controller can be parameterized by the injection moulding machine, including operating modes, setpoints, alarm limits and the heating process. Euromap 82.2 thus enables almost complete adjustment of all process-relevant parameters via the injection molding machine’s control system.
You don’t have time for disruptions? Neither do we! Our product provides you with precise instructions in words and pictures on how to proceed in the event of a fault. Simply click on the arrow buttons and the instructions are displayed step by step. This means maximum efficiency in troubleshooting and minimum downtime.
The thermodynamic analysis (TDA for short) compares the thermodynamic condition of your tool with a good condition previously saved as a reference. Possible differences are detected and damage or problems with the tool can be identified at an early stage. For you, this means maximum safety and effective maintenance of your tools.
Experience a new level of operating freedom with the MCS hot runner controllers! Whether you opt for the integrated touch displays in 7“ or 10” or prefer to use an external touch monitor in 15“ or 19” – the choice is yours. But that’s not all: you can even control the controller directly from your injection molding machine or notebook/tablet via VNC. Discover the unlimited flexibility of the hot runner controller and optimize your production!
Connect several MCS hot runner controllers via Ethernet and use them as one device. With up to 480 zones, you can implement complex applications and make all settings centrally from one controller. Setting up the controller network is extremely simple and is explained step by step. Our user-friendliness is always our top priority – even inexperienced personnel can operate the controller safely.
The chart recorder allows you to analyze the control behavior of zones by displaying the process values actual value, setpoint and output level over time in a clear chart. It provides insights into the performance of the respective zone and is therefore used for efficient optimization. The chart recorder is an indispensable tool for precise control analysis.
The operator has the option of selecting from a large number of process values which are to be displayed in the zone display. This allows the zone display to be customized for each application. It is also possible to filter the display to certain groups and inactive zones in order to hide certain zones.
To avoid tedious searching in the operating instructions, you can tap the info button for each function and setting to call up a brief description. This provides you with immediate information on each desired function without wasting time. This makes operating the controller child’s play
Each input is accompanied by clear instructions in easy-to-understand plain text to guide the operator through each action. This makes it easy for even inexperienced users to operate the controller and make the appropriate settings without the need for prior knowledge. Enjoy the ease of use and familiarize yourself with the functions with ease.
