iQ weight control

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces ENGEL's iQ weight control software, a novel solution for improving the consistency and quality of injection moulded parts. It highlights the software's ability to monitor and control the injection process in real-time, ensuring high-quality production even under varying environmental conditions.

Key Features
  • Automatic online correction of injection speed profile and switchover point to improve process and weight repeatability.
  • Reduces moulded part weight variance by up to 85%.
  • Facilitates the identification of batch and moisture variations through viscosity monitoring.
  • Integrated into the ENGEL CC 200 control unit, offering a user-friendly interface with automated functionality.
  • No additional sensors required, making it a cost-effective solution.

Advantages
  • Consistent quality of moulded parts, reducing rejects and increasing productivity.
  • Automatic adaptation to changes in material moisture, batch variations, and ambient temperature.
  • Ensures consistent mould filling and significantly improves weight repeatability.

Technical Insights
  • The software compares the injection pressure curve with a reference curve to identify deviations in quantity and viscosity.
  • Adjustments are made within the same cycle to prevent the production of reject parts.
  • Utilizes mathematical transformations to decode pressure curves and calculate deviations.

Conclusion
ENGEL's iQ weight control represents a significant advancement in injection moulding technology, offering enhanced process stability and product quality through intelligent online process control.

iQ weight control-2

Moulding parts of consistently high quality, shot for shot even over long production periods. That's the aim of all injection moulders. Experience shows that an accurate injection moulding machine is not always enough to achieve this. Variations of environmental conditions and raw materials also have a strong influence. In extreme cases, setting parameters have to be readjusted manually from time to time. The innovative solution: ENGEL iQ weight control ENGEL's new iQ weight control software not only recognises these variations automatically, it also makes the necessary adjustments. In real time,...
