Machine Interface

1. Sequence Input Module:

Once wired to the molding machine, this module provides the system with machine timing sequences including injection forward, screw run, mold closed, first stage and mold opening.

2. Analog Input Module:

Analog sensors or equipment can be integrated with the eDART System™. This module accepts a 0-10 VDC signal from these devices and communicates it to the eDART.

3. Dual Relay Output Module:

For machines and automation equipment that accept digital signals, this device provides a normally open or normally closed contact for process control or 3-way part sorting.

Stroke/Velocity Sensor

Tracking injection velocity, shot volume, cushion, and plasticizing rates is as simple as connecting a Stroke/Velocity sensor. The stroke/velocity sensor is available in various cable lengths for use on a variety of machine sizes.

Lynx Quad Temp Thermocouple Sensors:

Connecting these sensors with new and existing thermocouples provides you with insight into the key process variables. Thermocouple sensors give you the ability to track barrel zone, mold, and mold coolant temperatures.

Lynx™ Hydraulic Sensor:

The eDART calculates injection pressure and plots it along with other profiles. These curves provide many machine and process variables, displaying hydraulic consistency and repeatability over time.

Lynx™ Cavity Pressure Sensors:

Implementing cavity pressure has never been simpler than with digital cavity pressure sensors. Sensors are automatically recognized by the eDART and identify themselves along with the mold being run.

The LS-DP-100 Lynx Delta Pressure Sensor:

The sensor measures the difference in coolant pressure between the mold inlet and outlet and is designed to be used with the eDART System™. This provides information about the cooling capability and consistency supplied to the molded part.

Lynx Surface Mount Modules:

These can be mounted inside or outside the molding machine or on or within auxiliary equipment. The Analog Input Module interfaces with temperature, dew point, pressure and other remote sensors. The Dual Relay Output Module supplies signals to part diverters, valve gate controllers, machine input cards and other applications.

Sensor Adapters:

These sensor adapters allow standard piezoelectric and strain gage sensors to be connected to the eDART.
