Altanium Temperature Controllers Designed to provide the industry’s most consistent part quality Benefits • 2 to 254 zones of control • Simple and intuitive operation • Interchangeable cards and interfaces across the entire product line • Active Reasoning Technology (ART) • Automated mold diagnostics • Large, full color touch screen • Multi-mold set-up storage • USB support for importing and exporting data • Password enabled security • Multi-language support Accurate temperature control is essential in maintaining and optimizing the injection molding process and has a direct impact on processing window, part quality, gate vestige and part properties. The temperature controller plays a crucial role in ensuring part-to-part and shot-to-shot consistency. Having a high level of control not only provides the benefit of better quality parts, but also helps drive down part costs, improve productivity and streamline operations. Recognized throughout the industry for their accuracy and ease of use, Husky’s Altanium product line provides two to 254 zones of control for maximum flexibility and configurability. Precise temperature control is achieved through the use of Active Reasoning Technology (ART). Large full color touch screens with intuitive interfaces enable uncomplicated configuration and monitoring. Easy to use, sophisticated diagnostic routines allow tooling issues to be identified and corrected with minimal downtime.

Husky's Altanium product line achieves optimal control through the application of Active Reasoning Technology (ART), a combination of software and hardware architecture unique in the industry. Intelligent temperature control Requiring no intervention by the user.ART automatically determines the thermal conditions under which all zones in a mold operate, eliminating the need to classify zones as tip, sprue or manifold. This is possible because ARTis able to calculate the optimal control algorithm and apply it to fit the unique profile of each heater and thermal environmentin the mold.The...

System automatically detects and configures itself for any control type. Drill down to the card level and locate the exact location of a failed fuse without the need for additional diagnostic tools. Provides intuitive troubleshooting tools for novice users to diagnose mold issues. Altanium Temperature Controllers 3

Key Features Automated mold diagnostics As a standard, Altanium includes highly accurate mold diagnostics and troubleshooting features that perform an automated test on individual or multiple zones. Once the analysis is complete, the results can be viewed in a comprehensive format that precisely locates faults so they can be repaired quickly. It is even capable of rewiring crossed wired zones and compare parameters against a baseline to determine if there is any preventative maintenance to be performed. Test for: • Voltage delivery to each heater (X Card only) • Thermal response and correct...

Wet heater bake-out Altanium performs a ground fault test on each zone prior to applying full power to the heaters. In cases were moisture is detected, the system will automatically switch to a low voltage mode and gradually evaporate the humidity from the heater without any risk of damage. Phase Angle or Zero Cross Altanium offers the flexibility to select Phase Angle or Zero Cross power control modes for each zone. Benefits: • Optimized process conditions • Highest flexibility for power output control for any type of mold and material • Increased control of low wattage, highly responsive...
