A common challenge for plastic injection mold builders is insufficient focus on cooling during early production stages. Today, there’s an efficient, safe and cost-effective solution for addressing non-performing cooling lines.

Using the system is simple. Connect the hoses to the desired cooling circuit, go to automatic mode, select the component and circuit and initiate the test. The system automatically certifies air and water leakage and measures flow, operating independently while users attend to other responsibilities. The process takes approximately five minutes.

This inspection solution is designed with features tailored to its users’ needs. For moldmakers, particularly tooling teams, it enhances assembly efficiency by automating the testing process. This automation enables operators to shift focus to other tasks, improving overall productivity. It also strengthens planning by identifying defects before shipment, preventing the need to rework tools and ensuring deadlines for other projects are met.

It also boosts production profitability by addressing issues prior to tryouts or shipments. This proactive approach reduces costs tied to machine hours, transportation, raw materials, technician labor, operator overtime and expenses for travel and meals.

Injection molders encounter similar issues in maintaining cooling

An intuitive interface of the smart hole inspection system displays comprehensive analysis results that enhance decision-making capabilities. By providing detailed diagnostics, the system empowers customers to implement preventive and predictive maintenance strategies rather than relying on reactive fixes, creating value that extends to their downstream customers.

consistency and streamlining maintenance processes. Now they have a tool that offers a more dependable standard than manual methods. It cuts time and costs by automating cleaning processes and avoiding penalties for non-compliant parts. It also supports importing the full project files, eliminating the need to test molds before production begins.

Ultimately, the tool improves decision-making. The comprehensive report it provides helps customers approve preventive or predictive maintenance strategies over reactive fixes, benefiting their downstream customers.
