D-M-E’S NEW CAVITY PRESSURE SENSOR OFFERS ULTIMATE QUALITY CONTROL
D-M-E Company, a provider of quality cavity pressure sensors for
nearly 30 years, has introduced new strain-gage-based sensors and
added a smaller 125 pound size to its 500 pound and 2,000 pound
product line.
The sensors are used in conjunction with auxiliary recording and
control equipment for measuring pressures in injection, die cast
and transfer molds. The new 125 pound model is ideal for use with
smaller ejector pins and is suitable for small molds or applications
where water lines, support pillars or other mold features inhibit
the use of slide sensors.
“These new sensors allow molders to better control the quality
output of their process,” said D-M-E’s Thom Linehan,
Global Business Manager for Electronics and Process Controls. “We
continue to introduce products that are essential to our customers’ operations
and the new pressure sensors allow for less labor and time needed
to check for imperfect parts.”
By precisely measuring the force of plastic in a mold cavity on
every shot, customers can be assured that their parts are uniform
and properly filled. If an error is detected, the part can be scraped
without the need for further testing or quality inspection.
Because each sensor is electrically identical, they have the same
output, practically eliminating the need to recalibrate the readout
system when sensors are exchanged. This makes errors in calibration
non-existent and operators spend less time setting up control systems
and recorders.
