Vision & Inspection Automation

Machine vision · Mold protection · Automatic inspection

Machine vision that protects molds and inspects parts — with little or no manual labor.

Mold Protection Monitor (Mold CCD)

Uses machine-vision comparison and real-time image processing to watch the mold while the injection machine runs. Before every mold close it verifies that parts have fully ejected, inserts are correctly placed, and ejectors, slides and cores have returned — stopping the machine within milliseconds if anything is wrong.

Questions about auxiliary equipment

Sizing, drying and when more equipment is not the answer
A dehumidifying hopper dryer is the right answer for almost every application, and the difference matters more than most buyers expect. Drying capability depends on the dew point of the process air — a proper dryer delivers at −40°C or below, while a simple hot-air box delivers air at whatever the ambient humidity is. In a humid climate that difference is the difference between drying and not drying. See our material drying guide for the full explanation.
Enough for 1 to 2 hours of running. Note that dry time scales with fill level — a full hopper takes considerably longer than a half-full one, because material at the bottom has been exposed longer than material on top. Over-filling to get more capacity is a false economy. Send us your resin and consumption rate and we will size it and state the dew point specification.
Yes, and it is often the sensible order of operations — buy the machine first, run it for a few months, then see what the bottleneck actually is. Adding drying, feeding or a robot later costs more than specifying it on day one, but far less than buying equipment you did not need.
Yes, and it is expensive if you get it wrong. POM releases formaldehyde gas during drying, and that gas will destroy an acrylic dryer hopper and corrode the machine. If you run POM you need a dryer with a stainless steel hopper, ideally a unit dedicated to POM. Never dry POM in an acrylic hopper.
Both. We supply individual items — a single dryer, a dosing unit, a chiller — as well as complete auxiliary packages matched to a machine. Supplying the whole package has one practical advantage worth knowing: we can size everything to your actual machine and cycle rather than to a generic catalogue, which avoids the common problem of a dryer that is slightly undersized or a chiller that cannot keep up on a hot day.
Yes. Sizing auxiliary equipment is the area where it is easiest to overspend, because suppliers gain from selling larger units. If your current setup is adequate, we will say so. The useful question is what your actual bottleneck is — drying, feeding, cooling or labour — and we would rather size the answer to that.
