Single-Wire Cable Technology for Plastics Injection Molding from Kistler
Novi, Michigan, USA - Kistler (www.kistler.com), a worldwide supplier of precision sensors, systems and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque and acceleration, announces its single-wire cable technology, offering a number of design and performance advantages over traditional coaxial cables within plastics injection molding applications.
Designed for direct compatibility with all Kistler mold cavity pressure sensors and force transducers, single-wire cables transmit the necessary electrical charge with required shielding provided by the injection mold itself. This allows for simplified mold installation via a small cross-sectional area measuring just 0.9 millimeters in diameter and facilitates the use of supporting self-locking and splash-proof connectors, also available from Kistler, which may be fitted by the user. Cables and connectors are both completely integrated into the mold. Single-wire cabling is also fully field-repairable and exchangeable and may be cut to desired lengths.
Cables can also be fitted directly into mold cavity bores so that milling is minimized, further protecting the bores from potential mechanical damage. Using a simple cut-and-grip technique, the cabling may also be connected to Kistler multi-channel charge amplifiers, allowing for a cost-effective mold preparation solution within multi-cavity applications.
