By harnessing the unique build architecture of Reconfigurable Pin Tools, multiple individual heating and cooling circuits can be incorporated into pin tools. 8 to 400 control circuits are controlled directly from a custom, state-of-the-art ‘Real-Time’ control system which runs virtual PID loops on both Active and Passive zones. With highly targeted heating & cooling exceptional mold face temperature control is attainted at hither too unparalleled ramp rates in excess of 200 deg C per minute. With a 450 deg C upper operating range all thermoset and thermoplastic matrix materials can be easily and quickly processed. Quality is assured as the Real-Time system monitors inter-zone variance and executes pre-determined user customizable control strategies to ensure right first time part production. Fully networked and designed for scalability from the ground up, 4 levels of user control prevent unauthorized access or allow full system optimization for administrators. Encrypted data logging is standard providing compliance archiving as standard.
