NEW TOUCHSCREEN FEATURES DESIGNED TO GIVE USER PRECISE CONTROL OF MOLDING PROCESS
27 October 2006 - Husky Injection Molding Systems

Husky has added several new features to its Polaris Control, giving machine operators more precise control of the injection molding process.

"Profile generation and modification of recovery, injection-fill speed, injection-hold pressure and mold stroke are now more exact, and can be made at the touch of the screen," said Karl-Heinz Hoefert, Sales Manager, Machines Luxembourg. "In addition to traditional step profiles, users can now enter profiles as curves. Curve following is a much more natural way for machinery and plastic to behave. The new curve profiles will result in greater accuracy, control predictability and a wider process window."

Husky's PC-based Polaris Control centralizes operation of the entire injection molding system, for fast and reliable communication between all system components, and has built-in network connectivity for remote diagnostics and monitoring.

The new features are standard on all Husky machines and will be available this coming February.
