Shotscope NX The industry’s most advanced process and production monitoring system The Shotscope NX system provides real-time, web-based information. Benefits • Provides better part quality by establishing process control and improving process stability • Decreases cycle times and reduces machine downtime • Boosts plant utilization through simplified reporting and expedited information • Increases percentage of on-time deliveries through simplified plant scheduling Capabilities • Automatically stores processing parameters on every shot in realtime • Web-based architecture makes information available across existing internal network - Multi-plant capabilities - Job scheduling - Predictive and preventative maintenance - Real-time information • Creates intuitive shot profile graphs • Protects key information by limiting unauthorized access The Husky Shotscope® NX system provides a wealth of “at a glance” information to help manufacturers control processes and improve productivity while minimizing scrap and downtime. Real-time monitoring and analysis Shotscope NX acquires process data for each cycle on every machine. The system compares and analyzes shots against a job’s process limits by using historical analysis capability and provides real-time and historical measurements of machine, yield, cycle efficiency and OEE. The production manager screen displays machine status using color-coded plant floor layouts. It continuously monitors process variables such as hydraulic pressure, cavity pressure, temperature and screw position/ velocity. When process limits are violated, Shotscope NX can activate alarms, stack lights and divert parts. Time-saving process analyzer The Shotscope NX process analyzer allows for a quicker job set-up. Job reference profiles are stored and recalled when jobs are rerun. Shotscope NX will overlay reference profiles with those from new jobs for easy machine adjustments. The process analyzer also troubleshoots by detecting common problems before they become serious issues. Intelligent SPC tool Shotscope NX provides statistical process control (SPC) capabilities. The system collects all of the shot variables from every

cycle and retrieves them for later analysis using run charts, histograms, X-bar and R-charts and scatter diagrams. Run charts permit the review of process parameters and part attributes for up to 100 000 shots on one chart. Scatter diagrams are used to relate process variables to physical part measurements for the purpose of establishing process limits. To determine interaction, users can simultaneously display and compare up to four parameters shot-by-shot. Flexible production reporting Shotscope NX simplifies reporting and expedites information flow via standard graphical and tabular...
