The function of the mold monitor
The mold monitor is an injection mold protection system that monitors and controls the status of the molding process. There are often interruptions in production or mold damage caused by incorrect operation in the molding process, therefore, a mold monitor seems helpful for checking the process perpetually.
What are the functions of the mold monitor as a device to detect the working condition of the mold?
1. To detect whether there is residual material left in the cavity before the mold closes.
2. To check the position of the slide, the ejector pin, etc.
3. To detect the short shot and flashes on the product.
4. Inspection of the demolding system.
5. Inspection of the product dimensions.
6. Inspection of the working state of each cavity of a multi-cavity mold.
The mold monitor mainly uses the digital vision functions and the computing performance of the computer to process the image data in real-time. By analyzing the images collected by the lens, the mold monitor can inspect the operation of the molding machine and ensure the stability of the molding process.
Shanghai Future Mould is an injection mold manufacturer that can equip molds with monitors and other equipment by customer requirements to ensure real-time inspection of the working condition of the mold and to avoid economic losses.
