Meet all challenges of injection molding for a consistent part quality:

Visible weld lines on large parts such as the dashboard
Poor surface quality in the painting process
Quality fluctuations in multi-component parts or material overmolding
Batch variations in the material
High-quality surfaces meet functional areas that are sometimes exposed to very high stress
...And much more!

Even when our customers have identified the perfect process, an injection molding machine is a living, ever-changing force with variables constantly challenging that process. Gammaflux takes the stress out of managing those variables.

Gammaflux compares the actual temperature to the setpoint and then calculates the exact amount of power required to maintain that setpoint through a unique PID² algorithm.

Achieving Better Temperature Control

All Gammaflux temperature controllers feature TRIANGULATED CONTROL TECHNOLOGY^®:

S E N S E Gammaflux controllers measure the exact temperature 20 times per second.

C O N T R O L The proprietary, self-optimizing Gammaflux PID² control algorithm adjusts if the actual temperature deviates 0.03 ºF (0.014 ºC) from the setpoint. The second derivative (PID²) monitors the rate of change in the actual temperature. As a result, the output to the heater is regulated in advance of the typical proportional band to limit or eliminate overshoot and undershoot.

A C T U A T E Using phase angle control (0.1% resolution, 1,000 steps), the Gammaflux controller ensures smooth and precise power delivery to each heater.

Controls for up to 24 Zones

Designed for smaller hot runner system applications, the LEC can be supplied with 2, 6 and 12 zone enclosures. A network module allows daisy-chaining of two 6- or 12-zone enclosures for control of up to 24 zones. The modular design of the LEC allows simple control card removal, addition or replacement.

Control up to 192 Zones in One Enclosure

With daisy chain cable up to 384 zones in 2 enclosures.

Focused on the plastics industry, Gammaflux is an expert in process optimization. The G24 is everything you would expect in a next generation control system:

MOLD WIZARD Your Assistant who guides you easily through the intsallation process. The Wizard makes everyone a controller configuration expert.

EARLY LEAK DETECTION for faster detection of a leak in your hot runner. Early detection of leaks not only save money, but also speed up the restart of the mold.

MOLD DOCTOR is an automated mold troubleshooting feature that detects elusive problems that occur suddenly.

Sequential Valve Gate Control (SVGC)

In addition to hot runner temperature control, the G 24 SVGC has additional functions such as water/process monitoring, sequential valve gate control (SVGC) and interlocks for machine optimization in one package with one interface and one menu for process simplification. The full range of SVGC hardware is available as a combined or stand-alone system.

Hydraulic Power Unit HPU

Due to the extremely compact design of the HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit), an integrated combination with a Gammaflux G24 SVGC controller with a small footprint is possible, as well as combined with an integrated hot runner temperature controller.

Identify ‒ Regulate ‒ Eliminate

Priamus not only identifies defective injection molded parts and removes them, but also eliminates the cause of the defect in the long-term through closed loop process control.

By combining real process parameters recorded directly in the mold by sensors for cavity pressure and cavity temperature, Priamus gains a holistic picture of the process and can, for example, monitor the melt flow in the mold.

Depending on the melt flow, Priamus automatically corrects the settings of the hot runner nozzles so that weld lines in large-area components can be controlled, moved, and held in position in a targeted manner to produce perfect components.

Fill Control Architecture

FILLCONTROL is the modular process monitoring system from PRIAMUS that can be flexibly adapted to individual customer requirements. Documenting, monitoring, open-loop or closed-loop process controlling - FILLCONTROL covers all applications with the appropriate module.

Switch Signals when the Melt Front is Detected

FILLCONTROL Switch generates real-time switching signals on detection of the melt front and thus enables targeted open-loop process control depending on the flow process.

As soon as the melt in the cavity reaches the position of a cavity pressure sensor or a cavity temperature sensor, a switching signal is generated and used for appropriate switching operations depending on the application.

The switching signals can either be delayed or switched on and off depending on each other.

Fill Balancing

FILLCONTROL Control H:
Automatic balancing/ synchronization of filling of all cavities by adjusting hot runner tip temperatures.

In this very effective process, the settings of the hot runner nozzles are permanently corrected depending on the respective melt flow in the cavity. This way, unfilled parts in multi-cavity molds are excluded and weld lines in large-area components are specifically controlled, moved and held in position.

This process is the prerequisite for a systematic reduction of cycle times for multicavity molds.

Control of the Melt Flow

FILLCONTROL Control V balances and controls the melt flow by automatically delaying the opening times of the valve gate nozzles.

Similar to hot runner multi-cavity molds, this leads to all cavities being filled at the same time. This is particularly important for silicone and multi-component applications.

This way, unfilled parts in multi-cavity molds are excluded and weld lines in large-area components are specifically controlled, moved and held in position.

In general, it is possible to regulate the opening times of each valve gate nozzle individually, which, for example, is effectively used for family molds. The nozzles are opened in real time by detecting the melt front in the cavity, so no host computer interface is required.
