This compact hot runner controller enables precise temperature control with a shortened heating phase thanks to a fast control algorithm. Tailored to the requirements of mould makers, the control unit for 12 control zones has other advantageous features:
- Small, handy and powerful hot runner control unit
- Clear, user-friendly touch screen user interface
- Short incorporation phase
- Can be used anywhere – user interface available in 15 languages
- Extremely compact, lightweight and portable
FUNCTIONS
