Importance of mold management
Mold is the most important element in molding quality products. However, mold management is currently not sufficient. In order to properly manage the status of molds, it is necessary to manage a lot of information all at once, which is a difficult situation.
What is Mold Connect?
Mold Connect is a general term for devices for managing molds (smart shot counters, multi-point thermometers) and the cloud system for recording that data (Mold Connect Cloud).
Perform Mold Maintenance at the Optimal Time
Receive mold maintenance alerts via signals and email, allowing you to perform maintenance before defects occur.
Access Past Data
With records of shot counts, cycle times, and temperature readings, you can trace back past data, improving traceability when addressing quality issues.
Monitor Machine and Mold Status Remotely
Our cloud-based system allows you to track the operational status of molding machines and molds from anywhere, enabling early detection of anomalies.
Identify Minor Stoppage Dates and Downtimes
With SSC cycle time tracking, you can trace minor stoppage times, identifying exactly when and how long they occurred.
Monitor Temperature Controllers and Mold Temperature Status with MTS
Real-time monitoring of temperature control systems and mold conditions helps detect early signs of clogged cooling pipes and prevents issues like forgotten valve openings.
Smart Shot Counter (SSC)
The tag is read by the SSC itself, and the mold's (1) number of shots (2) cycle time (3) data acquisition date and time are automatically recorded in the cloud system.
When the SSC recognizes the tag, it reads the number of shots written on the tag, adds 1 to the number of shots, calculates the cycle time from the reading interval, and sends it to the cloud.
Multipoint Thermometer (MTS)
A K-type Thermocouple Sensor Module for Simultaneous Measurement of 4 Points
Existing K-type thermocouples can also be connected.
1. Temperature 2. The date and time of data acquisition are automatically recorded in the cloud system. In addition to regular observations, temperature recording synchronized with SSC (temperature recording for each shot) is also possible.
There are two types of temperature sensors available: a clip type that is clamped to the water pipe, and a magnetic type that is attached to the surface of the mold.
