APCPLUS (ADAPTIVE PROCESS CONTROL) With APCplus, material-related fluctuations can be compensated for precisely and quickly. The APCplus function continuously analyzes and regulates the injection molding process for all thermoplastic series. Intelligent machines APCplus recognizes process fluctuations, which can be caused by changing ambient conditions or fluctuating viscosity, and independently adopts counteractive measures. Based on the melt compressibility of different materials, APCplus always ensures the cavity is com- pletely filled. You will therefore benefit from a uniformly high component...
