Engel's IQ software reduces reject rates

iQ software This upgraded weight-control software is available for all Engel injection molding machines with electric injection units and does not require additional hardware because it integrates into the machines' control units for consistent operating logic.  

What's new? Automatic holding pressure correction, which makes it possible to compensate for fluctuations in viscosity even after the injection phase is complete. The software automatically recognizes deviations that result from minor changes in ambient conditions or raw materials and compensates for them in the same shot. 

Benefits Increased productivity and dramatic reductions in reject rates. Also, the software now can be used in the production of thick-walled parts.
