MC4 Microprocessor Control System for Krauss Maffei Injection Moulding Machines

From the smallest to the biggest clamping capacity, microprocessor control systems that operate in Krauss Maffei C Series Injection Moulding Machines are named as MC4 series. MC4's standard features demonstrate Kraus Maffei's technological development and superiority.

• 32-bit operation with fast signal processing for exact process reproducibility.
• Fast 32-bit multitasking operating system for display of actual values, graphics, etc.
• Data storage for set and actual values: 3-step mould protecting system.
• Easy connectivity to a PC Environment: Color and Turkish STN flat-panel display.
• The MC4 stores all values captured during a production run. (The last 30,000 cycle)
• Statistical evaluations, taking every actual value into account, help to determine the limits within which processing variables can vary without impairing product quality. The most influential process parameters, like the hydraulic pressure and cavity pressure, are displayed cyclically as actual or set value graphs in real time.
• All machine events are fully documented and can be recalled instantly. Logged events include set value deviations, interruptions, alarms, tolerance over-ranging. This information is logged automatically and can be evaluated statistically.
• Production planning, control and monitoring by a central computer.
• Quality reports and documentation on a host computer.
• The MC4 allows recorded mould-dependent data sets to be identified by an alphanumeric label and archived. Each data set can also be read into the MC4 and previewed in a display window.
• Remote data transfer from PCs can be implemented via a modem or an Ethernet adapter.
• Details of a process cycle can be displayed as a bar diagram.
• MC4 control unit uses TCP/IP protocol for connecting to the Internet.
