Everything under control

The Fakuma show will be the opportunity for Sise to present its new range of GC units dedicated to sequential valve gate control, where three new units will be presented. First, the entry-level GC'Timer, will be able to control up to 16 pneumatic or hydraulic valve gates, then the GC'Access, up to 18, and finally the GC'Tech, up to 32 gates. Two will be equipped with new colour touch screens, and they will all include new functions such as end of stroke management, multi-material management, VNC link, curve displays and especially the new programming mode. In addition, they will offer traceability of parts produced with part counting, scrap detection and real-time data recording.

Regarding hot runner temperature control, the manufacturer will also present its new MV3 generation which will be capable of regulating up to 336 zones. It will be deployed in early 2019 on 6 platforms (XXS, XS, S, M, M, L and XL) with 4 available power cards (2.5, 15, 20 and 30 A) to adapt the offer to various industries such as packaging, automobile, cosmetics, medical and electrical engineering.

It will be sold with 10 and 15 inches integrated touch panels and a Linux-based software program developed by Sise. Pivoting and detachable side panels facilitate access to power and thermocouple cards greatly. This new generation will include useful and advanced functions such as 4 soft start modes, zone grouping, PTI function for thermocouple anomalies, Moldscan for hot runner system real-time diagnosis, as well as real-time material leak detection. The system is of course multilingual (up to 12 languages available) with unlimited backup of mould programs. Lastly, recording and monitoring temperatures in production, and communicating via multiple protocols is fully in line with the 4.0 strategy, i.e. supporting the installation of so-called ''smart factories''.

Sise has also updated its line of water temperature controllers with the launch of the brand new 95 E9-45E (90°C). Units offer heating capacities ranging from 9 to 45 kW, 4 pump models - 130, 140, 200 and 320 L/Min - heat plate exchangers from 60 to 180 kW and solid state relay as standard. Two heating rates can be used to control the rise in temperature, but also can save energy for during everyday use. Maintenance is equally important for Sise, so its components are accessible and easy to replace. Essential and useful options are of course available (multi-protocol communication, tool bleeding, external probe, alarm report, Vortex flowmeter, pseudo-cascade control, external set point, track measurements, direct cooling etc.).
