| With each cycle, mold presses run a high risk of experiencing extreme damage due to molded parts or slides sticking. Standard mold protection options only detect the problem as it occurs. Vision mold protection prevents the problem before it occurs. Avalon's patented MoldWatcher system will alert operators and stop the press before any hazardous force can be put on the mold. This prevents severe mold damage in addition to the related down-time, which can often be more expensive and troubling than the mold damage itself. MoldWatcher can be installed on horizontal and vertical shuttle or rotary injection molding machines.
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 insures that no stray parts are left behind to damage the mold during the next cycle.
While on a vertical press, it ensures that all inserts are properly placed prior to permitting the table to index and the mold to close. The system will also detect miscellaneous items that may have been left on the lower mold half. After ejection, the system checks to ensure all parts have left the upper mold half.
