Injection Molding Machine Builders

From MTS Sensors

Our sensing technology is routinely used on 4 axes of plastic injection molding machines: injector screw positioning, carriage positioning, ejector positioning, and mold closure. Superior ruggedness, reliability and performance means Temposonics sensors provide the best value for this application. In addition, enhanced features like multiple position, velocity outputs or programmability help to save costs due to sensor requirements as well as setup and maintenance.

Position feedback to control the amount of injection, mold closure and part ejection on injection molding machines. * Superior response and accuracy result in higher machine performance, part quality and reduced cycle time. * Rugged, reliable shock and vibration tolerant sensor construction result in reduced maintenance and down time.

Magnetostrictive Position Sensors
Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is from a magnet that moves along the outside of the waveguide. The other field is from the waveguide itself.
