Calculate and Optimise Clamping Force

iQ clamp control reduces the clamping force to the minimum required while maintaining optimum part quality. This means that the drive energy needed for clamping force build-up can be reduced. This saves energy and cycle time.

Using iQ clamp control protects the mould and the injection moulding machine. The mould needs to be serviced less often. The mould quality remains constant and repeated manual readjustment is no longer necessary. Your maintenance costs decrease and productivity increases due to extended production intervals.

Especially with highly polished cavities, it is important to work with optimal clamping force, as the flow lines are less visible. If you rely on very high moulding accuracy, our iQ clamp control software is the perfect solution for clamping force calculation.

If the clamping force is too high, burns may occur. If it is too low, burr formation may result. By automatically determining the mould breathing, the clamping force is calculated and set in the best possible way. Scrap is significantly reduced.

iQ clamp control calculates the correct clamping force fully automatically, regardless of the operator's experience. Neither additional measuring equipment on the machine nor additional sensor technology on the mould is required. Operation is simple, using the CC300 control unit of the injection moulding machine.
