Simple commissioning and service thanks to fieldbus communication The consequent use of CANopen and EtherCAT field-buses allows user-friendly and time-saving commis-sioning of the KePlast SpeedPump drives.

All adjustment and optimization work can be carried out directly at the KePlast control system via the con-venient machine HMI without the need for additional tools.

The data sets for the entire KePlast SpeedPump sys-tems are permanently saved in the control system. Thanks to automatic recognition, the hydraulic drive always receives the optimum parameters.

Optimum efficiency by integrated temperature and energy monitoring The motor temperature of the servo pump is perma-nently monitored and recorded in the KePlast control system. This allows the cycle time to be optimally shortened and the performance potential of the in-jection molding machine to be fully utilized. The inte-grated performance measurement function continu-ally forwards current energy consumption values to the KePlast control system for the purpose of further analysis.Quality overview

Comprehensive technology libraries Part of the powerful software framework is the exten-sive range of technology functions for controlling the injection molding process and for implementing all of the injection molding functions. As a result of years of experience, a wide variety of technology modules such as servo valve control or control of the mold position is available. Furthermore, process-specific special functions such as coining and venting are also contained in the software and technology libraries. They allow highly complex applications to be realized in a very short time.

Fast and simple creation of applications KePlast software is extremely portable. Without te-dious adaptation, programs that were created for one injection molding machine can also run on other KePlast-controlled machines with different hardware. To ensure that applications can be created simply and quickly, comprehensive software and technology li-braries for injection molding machines are included in the scope of delivery

Software tools for injection molding Programming takes place in a uniform, modularly structured development environment. The operating concept and the scope of services are adapted to the performance and the target market of the machine in question. In this way, the customer receives an opti-mally dimensioned control system for each machine, irrespective of whether it is hydraulic, hybrid or electric
