MOLDWATCHER

With each cycle, the molds run a high risk of extreme damage due to sprayed products or slides getting stuck in the mould. Default mold protection options only detect the problem when it occurs. A vision system prevents the problem before it occurs. Avalon’s patented MoldWatcher system will alert operators and stop the injection machine before a dangerous closing force is applied to the mold using non-contact vision technology. This prevents serious mold damage in addition to the associated downtime, which can often be more expensive and distressing than the mold damage itself.

MoldWatcher can be installed on horizontal and vertical pendulum or rotational injection molding machines and injection molding machines. It also works on Metal Injection Molding (MIM) processes

In the case of a horizontal press, MoldWatcher automatically inspects for inserts or quality of the part while in the mold and the empty cavity, cores and slides after the part is ejected. This ensures that no loose parts are left to damage the mold during the next cycle.

While on a vertical press, it ensures that all inserts are correctly positioned before indexing the table and closing the mold. The system will also detect various items that may have been left in the lower half of the mold. After ejection, the system checks that all parts have left the top half of the mold.
