Micro injection moulding

The directly cooled P100XS with its 3 kW heating output, 34 kW cooling capacity and a flow of 11 L/min, as well as a maximum delivery pressure of 3.7 bar, is truly a small power pack.

The P100XS with its OPC UA interface is ideally equipped for the current topic of "Industry 4.0". This enables production data to be exchanged at all IT levels within manufacturing IT. Regloplas temperature control units are integrated into the factory of the future at the highest technical level with future-oriented technology. With the new OPC UA (Unified Architecture) interface, REGLOPLAS offers its customers a reliable solution for the simultaneous, parallel exchange of data at all levels of industrial production.

Depending on the user's wishes, the individual data acquisition segments can be set up individually and expanded at any time. The PDA system software from ProSeS BDE GmbH accesses the internal BOY machine control system Procan ALPHA. Machine settings, recorded operating parameters, as well as process data logged by the machine control system, such as injection volume, temperatures, pressures, etc., can thus be recorded and further used for documentation. These data can be queried by any terminal via the IP address of the injection moulding machine and used for the desired PDA tasks. Up to 200 days of data can be saved on the injection moulding machine.

The P100XS adapts perfectly to the design of Dr. Boy injection moulding machines, be it in the substructure or directly in the machine frame. The small dimensions of the Regloplas temperature control unit allow it to be easily positioned and installed on the injection moulding machines. In addition to the small dimensions, Boy relies on the high quality of the Regloplas temperature control technology, which guarantees an error-free production process. The possibility of using various interfaces in the P100XS facilitates the ideal connection to the Boy injection moulding machines.

Temperature windows with small tolerances are increasingly required in the injection moulding process. In order to achieve this constant temperature, high demands are placed on the temperature control of the temperature control units. With a temperature accuracy of +/- 0.3 K, the REGLOPLAS temperature control units can be used to manufacture highly sensitive injection moulded parts in a very narrow temperature window. As the example of the Dr. Boy bookmark shows (Fig. 5), high-quality, sub-micron structured surfaces can be produced, which then produce the light refractions shown on the plastic part.
