THE HEYE PROCESS CONTROL

is a tool to monitor the pressing process of all plunger mechanisms of an IS-Machine. It simultaneously displays a number of forming events on several selectable graphics and permits to improve the parameter setting by comparing data. Early recognition of beginning malfunctions and the automatic gob size control increase the production efficiency.

DETAILS
 

• Single and tandem feeder IS-Machines with up to 60 cavities
• Quick change of the pressing mechanism
• Practical experience with more than 800 systems

ADVANTAGES
 

• Recognition of beginning malfunctions at the earliest moment
• Defective articles will be rejected
• Reject statistics shows the efficiency distribution by all cavities
• Message with possible reasons allows immediate specific remedy by the machine operator

Details
Single and tandem feeder IS-Machines with up to 60 cavities.
Quick change of the pressing mechanism Displacement sensors for all commercially available pressing mechanisms on hand
Servo Feeder compatibility
Practical experience with more than 750 systems

Controller functions
Up to 6 control loops are available. They can be used for tube height control and plunger position control as follows:

At Single IS-Machines with up to 4 gobs per shear cut
At Tandem IS-Machines with up to 3 gobs per shear cut

Coupling with the IS-Machine control

Each pressing process with its features

Plunger position Erratic value Pressing duration
Position / time gradient

is checked for an exceeding of programmable limit values. The coupling with the IS-Machine Control renders possible to reject these articles.
Typical reasons for limit value exceedings are for example a bad gob loading etc.
Additionally, in case of sticking plungers the section can
automatically be stopped.

Database functionality
The Heye Process Control, a well-known and well proven tool for real time display and supervision of all
pressing processes in the IS-Machine now has become much more comfortable in operation:

The entire software was revised, new functions were added
The operating surface of the software now in typical
Windows®  style
There is only one software for all IS-Machine variants Extremely simplified job change by article database containing all article depending parameters
Basic data of each pressing process are stored in a data base for future analyses and statistical evaluations
