Plastic Molding Machine PLC application


Recommended Posts

I have a project which involves plastic injecting machines - specifically five identical machines Battenfeld Austria BA230E. These machines are old - before PLC technologies and are controlled by relay thermostats, timers and very old motherboards. I want to change them and use Unistream to automate these machines as far as possible without changing many mechanical parts. Do you have any experience in this kind of machines? Has anyone done sothing similar to this?

Thanks

Most of the logic is straightforward with the exception of the analog signal used to control the shot profile -  the hydraulic valve that actually injects the plastic.  This can be a very fast thing that most PLCs can't handle.

What does your shot profile look like?
