Early fault detection for all injection molding machines
Reduction of machine downtimes
By detecting anomalies in injection molding machines at an early stage, condition monitoring can prevent both unwanted machine downtimes and unnecessary rejects.
In the plastics cluster project “ReGuMa – Reduction of planned and unplanned machine downtimes”, one or two defined error cases were analyzed at each company partner and the possibility of preventing unplanned downtimes was evaluated.
The aim was early fault detection for all types of injection molding machines using non-invasive sensors and intelligent evaluation of the sensor data.
Project partners: AISEMO GmbH, Aspöck Systems GmbH, Ing. Gerhard Fildan GesmbH, Ing. H. Gradwohl GmbH, MKW Kunststofftechnik GmbH, PTM Kunststofftechnologie GmbH.
