Plastics and rubber processing involves high temperatures, hydraulic pressures, and production cycles measured in seconds. Sensors must confirm mould close positions, detect part ejection, verify shot presence, and survive the combination of hydraulic oil mist and elevated ambient temperatures around injection and compression moulding machines.
EGE Inductive Proximity
EGE inductive proximity switches with high-temperature ratings confirm mould half closed positions and ejector plate return positions on injection moulding machines before cycle start.
Pantron ISM Series
Pantron ISM photoelectric sensors confirm that each moulded part has been ejected from the mould cavity before the mould closes, preventing double-shot and mould damage incidents.
EGE Temperature Sensors
EGE temperature sensors provide zone-by-zone barrel temperature measurement on extruder screws, with data fed to the extruder temperature controller for accurate profile management.
Lion Precision Capacitive
Lion Precision capacitive sensors measure die lip gap on blown film extruder dies, providing feedback for automatic die gap adjustment that maintains film gauge consistency.
EGE Pressure Sensors
EGE pressure sensors monitor hydraulic clamp pressure on compression moulding machines, confirming that full clamping pressure has been achieved before injection or compression begins.
Contrinex Inductive
Contrinex inductive sensors confirm that the take-off robot has gripped the moulded part before retracting from the mould, preventing the robot from retracting without the part.
Fuchs Fume Extraction
Fuchs fume extraction systems remove plasticiser vapours, styrene emissions, and rubber vulcanisation fumes from open mould laminating, casting, and vulcanising workstations.
High-temperature mould position and ejector confirmation sensors.
Extruder barrel zone temperature measurement for process control.
Hydraulic clamp pressure monitoring on press and moulding machines.
Die gap measurement on blown film and sheet extrusion lines.
Robot part take-off confirmation in injection moulding cells.
Vapour and fume extraction at open mould and vulcanisation workstations.
