Eurotherm Delivers New Control System Retrofit for Van Dorn Demag(TM) HT Machines
LEESBURG, VA, USA, August 11, 2008 - Eurotherm, a leading manufacturer of industrial instrumentation for process control and data acquisition, has introduced a retrofit control system specifically designed to replace outdated controls for the Van Dorn/Demag HT(TM) injection molding machines.
The MACOŽ Compact System for HT control is a totally integrated, expandable control solution for Demag HT owners who want to maximize the potential of these machines, in which the original control systems are no longer supported in the field.
Totally compatible with the Demag HT operating system, the MACO Compact System control upgrade offers a cost-competitive, reliable solution that delivers more precise, consistent temperature control during the injection molding process, saving energy and reducing waste.
"In today's energy- and cost- conscious business environment, the MACO Compact System can breathe new life into these machines with a relatively short payback time," says Steve Schroeder, Eurotherm's Business Development manager, Plastics. "Not only can our precise auto tune temperature control feature save energy dollars but it can save maintenance and operation costs by providing early warning signals. Our patented and
proven auto tuning closed loop process control, known as IMPACT(TM)II, provides self compensation to problems in the process line thus improving overall production and part quality."
Additional benefits include:
o A large, easy-to-read color interface with bilingual language capabilities.
o Built-in diagnostics and process monitoring to improve product quality and reduce downtime.
o Purpose built and configured for HT machines.
o Easily obtainable replacements parts and service, plus a three-year parts warranty on the original system.
Schroeder says that the Demag HT system has been a popular machine for the plastics industry for years and therefore is a good candidate for this Eurotherm offering.
"Eurotherm has a reputation for providing quality parts and service," he says, "and together with Van Dorn's original engineering excellence, we hope to provide customers with a reliable, cost effective solution for getting the most out of their equipment investment."
