profiTEMP hot runner controller

profiTEMP hot runner controller: with integrated

injection molding know-how!

Service is our mission

The innovative product family with unlimited zone-number possibility

The new profiTEMP is characterized by a clear and uniform built and operat-

ing concept - from the smallest desktop with 6 zones to the biggest tower

with 250 zones and touch screen.

The number of zones can be expanded, almost indefinitely, by combining

profiTEMP devices. The profiTEMP link function makes this possible, it auto-

matically synchronizes control cabinets for important hot runner functions.

One family - one format!

All devices are of the same small positioning surface and are easily stackable.

Its interior is neatly arranged, well-organized and the plug-in cards are

identical.

All profiTEMP hot runner controllers are based on the same operating princi-

ple. Your advantage: you know one, you know all!

This shortens training times, simplifies usage, provides flexibility for subse-

quent expansions, and minimizes down-time during servicing.

Inner value-add: The new operating concept, it thinks alongand, if necessary, becomes active

PSG group develops and produces nozzles and manifolds, aside from hot

runner controllers. Hence, we know the requirements in plastics processing

in-depth and we share our know-how through expert software with users.

This shortens the time for programming and prevents bad operations.

The Info-Board ensures the use of the full array offunctions

PSG is not satisfied to have impressive functions alone. We support operators

with our Info Board to have an optimal use of the full array of functions on

those machines without a touch-screen . This ensures, for example, that

monitoring functions are not overlooked and therefore remain unused.

Data-export via USB for quality assurance and service

profiTEMP is equipped with a USB port. All information is available on

demand and we support a large number of functions from data- and quality

assurance..

Comfortable user-feelingfrom foil-keyboard to touch screen

We had a clear objective when developing the operating concept: As simple

and as common as possible. To achieve this, we have assimilated handling

to modern Smart phones. Hence, whoever knows to how operate his Smart

phone will immediately be familiar with the operating logic of profiTemp.

For example, we have integrated technologies like "Alphablending". Nonrel-

evant areas are darkened to grasp important areas at the first glance.

Self-explanatory softkeys in three languages

Nobody needs to memorize the functions of keys. It is sufficient to press a

key for 2 seconds and the explanation appears in the LED display.

Process security through user administration

Absolute process security is reached by preventing unauthorized input on

the device. Here, profiTEMP offers two password-protected user levels. This

prevents machine operators to reach functions for which they are not author-

ized.

User rights are administered through freely selectable passwords.

Reliability through MoldCheck: Before the beginning of production the system core is checked

MoldCheck is a complete diagnosis of electric conditions, including wir-

ing. This ensures a 100% functional guarantee of the electric of the hot

runner.

Production reliability at the press of a button

MoldCheck runs a functional check of heaters and sensors including their

correct allocation. This ensures that production runs smoothly and that

part quality remains constantly high.

The integrated pre-heat function minimizes stand-still times of the injec-

tion mold machine when changing tools.

Exact error analysis shortens maintenance works

Concrete notifications accelerate error search and provide concrete

information towards causes, so that simple repairs can be carried out by

non-service personnel.


Open to the world: profiTEMP is easily adjusted to electricity networks and languages

You can employ profiTEMP at any place in the world. It "speaks" German

and English fluently and quickly learns a third language, (ASCII character

set required). PSG provides language files for common languages free of

charge. An adjustment is so easy that users on-site can carry out the

language expansion.

Simple adjustment to voltages

This - for hot runner controllers - unique concept of grid integration makes

adjusting to operating in foreign power grids, e.g. the U.S., absolutely

uncomplicated.

PSG-Connect: Fast remote support

PSG-Connect is the fascinatingly easy-to-use solution for the worldwide,

remote maintenance of the profiTEMP hot runner controllers. PSG-Connect

is pre-configured and immediately ready for use.

PSG-Connect is available in several configurations. As a cable-based modem

(analog, ISDN), via the company network, directly via DSL or as a mobile

Internet access via GSM or UMTS.

Secure Internet connection via VPN

Aside from the classical remote maintenance tasks, such support in trouble-

shooting, PSG-Connect can be used for many services. PSG offers a wide

range of services. Maintenance contracts guarantee that profiTEMP is regu-

larly updated to the latest software. Or our experts assist you to answer your

questions in a meeting.


The

technology

of profiTEMP is suitable

for installation in machines.

Modular racks from 12 to 96 zones

available that have the full range of profiTEMP functions inside.

Our components are equipped with a multitude of interfaces, so they can

quickly be integrated in existing structures. Flexibility and the fulfillment of

customer requests is our strength. PSG provides you with an inexpensive

solution for multi-zone hot runner controls.

Temperature control with the sensitivity of a finger tip

In temperature control, ideas are an important part of our business. Our

engineers contribute sector and industry competence during the planning

phase. You will reach your objectives, such as: process-reliability, cost reduc-

tion, on-time production, smooth start-ups,...

profiTEMP technology is amazingly simple

Possible to integrate

Cost reductions through a well-thought and modularbuild-concept

All profiTEMP devices are based on a uniform build- and production con-

cept. Whether desktop, tower, or machine integration. The uniform concept

also provides cost advantages in development, production, and purchasing.

We pass on these advantages to you through an extremely competitive

price.

Stackable system configuration

All plug-cards are identical from desktop to tower. This simplifies warehous-

ing, you can swap cards freely during maintenance. And production can

commence.

Well-organized interior facilitates maintenance andservice

A well-organized interior provides a fast overview and helps, in the event of

maintenance works, reduce stand-still times and production-outage costs to

a minimum.
