Iqclampcontrol Info EN PDF

The document introduces iQ clamp control, a new solution that automatically determines the optimum clamp force for injection molding machines. It calculates the mould breathing signal and adjusts the clamp force to changing process conditions to prevent flash and improve venting, while protecting the machine and mould. Key features include automatically achieving and adapting to the optimum clamp force, keeping mould breathing within optimal ranges, and reducing wear.

iQ clamp control

Welcome

ENGEL Austria GmbH | 04. 2015,Johannes Lettner | Seite 1


Motivation

flash venting
Clamp force

• clamp force must be


determined individually
• result is user dependent

ENGEL Austria GmbH | 04. 2015,Johannes Lettner | Seite 2


Solution

iQ clamp control
• calculation of mould breathing signal
• automatic determination of the optimum clamp force
(without user settings → objective result)
• adjusting the clamp force to changing process
conditions

ENGEL Austria GmbH | 04. 2015,Johannes Lettner | Seite 3


• prevention of flash
• improved venting
• protection of machine and mould
Mould breathing

What is mould breathing?

Clamp force build up: mould compression

Hold pressure phase: partial resetting of


mould compression by the cavity pressure
