By connecting molding machine and mold temperature controller through SPICCP*, mold temperature controller can be operated from the molding machine. Not only does this quicken the setup retrieval but it also prevents careless mistakes.
*A communication protocol advocated by an industrial group in the USA.
(The Socienty of the Plastics Industry, inc. Committee on Communication Protocol)
By eliminating mistakes of temperature control such as wrong temperature settings or continuing mass production without noticing a temperature controller malfunction, the cost of repairing damaged molds or disposing of wasted resin can be reduced.
Basis for calculating economic benefit
- Extra mold repair cost from mold damage: 2 times/year ( Totaled: 300,000 JPY)
- Extra production loss due to dispose of reject parts: 3 times/year (Totaled: 100,000 JPY)
- The specifications of the communication cable are as follows.
●The user procures and provides the cable.
| Cable | Manufacturers |
| RS-422(4-wired) | MATSUI, KAWATA |
| RS-485(2-wired) | HARMO, NAKAMURA, STOLZ |
