Kistler upgrades ComoNeo process monitoring system

Among other improvements, the new Multiflow 2.0 software enables automatic, temperature-controlled hot-runner balancing.

ComoNeo Based on cavity pressure and mold temperatures, Kistler’s process monitoring system allows for optimization, monitoring and documentation of injection molding processes. 

What’s new? Version 7.0 and the new Multiflow 2.0 software add-on. Kistler presented both at Fakuma 2024. 

Benefits Numerous benefits available with Multiflow 2.0, including process optimization, the reduction of scrap and the elimination of the need for rework. The feature offers a self-learning control algorithm for temperature-controlled hot-runner balancing, and ensures consistent temperature control in multi-cavity molds. These capabilities make possible fully automatic adjustments, optimizing the injection molding process. Also, Multiflow 2.0 stabilizes the production process, even during batch fluctuations, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
