Pulse In December, Spark Industries purchased the injection molding product line of Fast Heat Inc., which includes hot runner controls and diagnostics products that have been on the market up to 20 years. Its Pulse hot runner temperature controllers let users control anywhere from two to 180 zones for high-cavitation applications, and offer a variety of capabilities, such as a bakeout function that automatically removes moisture from heaters to prevent shorts.

It features a 10.1-inch LCD screen and has an ethernet port for Virtual Network Computing functionality and a USB port for saving screenshots. It comes with a two-year warranty from Spark Industries.
