As already mentioned in the previous article, it is always advisable to optimally parameterize the temperatures of the extrusion cylinder to avoid production problems and to ensure economical and productive production. Optimizing cylinder temperatures while production is running is not an easy task and is therefore often avoided due to […]
Virtuelle Assistenzsysteme
Today’s extruders usually have several different heating (or heating/cooling) zones, which can be individually parameterised with regard to the desired temperature. The temperature control of the extruder is essential for the achievable product quality as well as for the productivity of the plant. Nevertheless, in practice it happens very often […]
The term “assistance system” refers to electrical, information technology or mechatronic systems (e.g. a software, a car) that provide the user with assistance in a current real situation or even actively intervene in the operating process and carry out actions in the background.
