Photon Cloud Mold Monitor: A mold protection device with the main purpose of detecting the molding state of the mold (preventing mold compression), using machine vision technology. By analyzing the images captured during the operation of the injection molding machine, abnormal conditions of the mold in the operation state of the injection molding machine are discovered, including: poor demolding of the product, poor ejector return, poor slider return, foreign matter in the mold cavity, lack of glue in the product, wrong insertion and placement of metal plug-ins, too much or too little metal plug-ins, etc., effectively and timely discover abnormal phenomena of the mold in operation to effectively avoid mold damage. Equip your mold with smart eyes to reduce the maintenance cost of the mold and ensure the delivery time of the product. This product is widely used in the injection molding industry to produce connectors, mobile phone housings, auto parts, gears and other precision injection molding products.

Product Introduction

Mold monitor, also known as mold protector, electronic eye, is mainly a mold protection system for real-time monitoring, control and detection of the operation of various injection molding machines. Because in the process of industrial manufacturing, many companies suffer serious losses in molds. In view of the irregularity and particularity of different products, despite the adoption of many mold protection measures, mold damage cannot be avoided, resulting in economic losses and personal injury. The mold monitor uses the machine vision comparison function and the powerful computing speed of the computer CPU to perform real-time computing and processing of image data. By analyzing the images captured during the operation of the machine, it intelligently monitors the operation of the injection molding machine, effectively detects whether the product is qualified, and checks for residues before closing the mold to prevent mold clamping damage. It is suitable for the applicability of various brands of injection molding machines.

Product Importance

As one of the most important molding equipment in the processing of injection molding products in the manufacturing industry, the quality of the mold is directly related to the final quality of the product. In addition, since the mold accounts for a large proportion of the production cost of injection molding, its service life directly affects the product cost. Therefore, improving the quality of the mold, properly maintaining and maintaining it, and extending its service life are important weights for the injection molding product processing industry to reduce costs and improve efficiency. In actual work, due to frequent mold changes, when the injection molding machine is running, the high-value molds in each production cycle may be in danger of damage due to product residues or slider misalignment. The mold protector can effectively deal with various potential problems, thereby avoiding shutdowns for mold repairs, reducing production costs, improving product quality, and ensuring delivery time.

Working principle

When the injection molding machine opens the mold, the output signal triggers the mold protector, which continuously takes images of the mold cavity to monitor whether the ejector ejects the molded workpiece and drops it. When it is monitored that the workpiece has completely fallen, the mold monitor sends a confirmation signal to the injection molding machine to start the next cycle. If the workpiece does not fall within the set time or there is debris between the molds, the mold monitor will send an abnormal signal, stop the injection molding machine and alarm.
