Monitoring your moulding system

By Barry Copping
Posted 3 May 2012
Storing, transmitting and retrieving performance data, mould drawings and setup sheets

The new CVe Monitor from AST Technology provides comprehensive reports of an injection moulding system’s activity and performance which may be transmitted anywhere in the world.

The device features a 2GB flash drive for storing mould performance reports, mould drawings, setup sheets and more.

Data gathered by the CVe Monitor includes:

  • Total operational cycles of the tool;
  • Cycle time recorded over the life of the tool;
  • Cycle time recorded over the last 25,000 cycles;
  • Record of downtime;
  • Proportion of downtime versus activity;
  • Record of mould maintenance periods.

Results can either be viewed directly on the CVe Monitor or downloaded via its USB port for reporting purposes.

AST Technology will be on Stand P36 at the PDM12 show in May.
