The basic: New Modular Actuator

New Patent Pending Design Uniform bolt-on modular actuator series

Hydraulic & Pneumatic hot runner systems

Supplied as Plug ‘n Play® system for easy installation & startup

Pre-plumbed / Pre-wired / Pre-tested

Fully compatible with self cooling actuator (SynCool3) and pin position

monitoring (VMI)

Modular Actuator: Other Features

Simple, easy adjustment and service

Ability to adjust the pin with

the top plate on

Quick pin

decouple Available with

optional installed

thermocouple

Automatic Bleed (Patent Pending)

Only when

piston is fully

open

Self Cooling Actuator: SynCool3

New Design Introduction

Patent pending SynCool3 option provides actuator cooling via proprietary

thermal conductors making contact with cooled top clamp plate

No cooling plates, lines or water plumbing required for most applications

Maximum Cooling Temperature up to 275°C

SynCool3 Key Benefits

SynCool3 eliminates the need for numerous hose-plumbed cooling lines to the

actuators.

Preheat without damage to actuator or seals

No more clogged cooling lines

Prolonged actuator seal life with less service

By removing cooling plate, manifold temperature uniformity is improved

Facilitates quick mold changes by eliminating need to cool down hot runner

Prevents overheating and degrading of hydraulic fluid

Valve Monitoring Interface

(VMI) - easy set up for your

sequential valve gated

applications.

Valve Pin

Monitoring (VMI)

VMI Features & Benefits

VMI

allows to check that your valve pins are moving as intended

provides measured individual pin movement data and opening times

What VMI can do:

Real time valve gate status

Troubleshooting (of open/close issues)

Eases process setup of symmetrical zones

Ensures correct plumbing and labeling of zones

Signal outputs for data logging

No need for unsafe physical pin checks

VMI: Easy Set Up

VMI facilitates easy set up for your sequential valve gated applications

Calibration stored in

junction box; single

main module can be

used on multiple

systems

LCD displays

opening times for

2 selectable

zones

Open, intermediate, and

closed position status

lights for real-time

indication of pin position

Connection provides signals to other

equipment such as data-logger to capture pin

opening measurement data for quality control

purpose

Position sensor

sends signals to

the junction box

VMI Display Information

VMI provides an LED pin status for up

to 24 zones, and also gives a visual

display of opening times for any 2

selected zones.

An output signal is provided for

capturing production data, helping

ensure zone to zone, and shot to shot

consistency.

SVG+: Upgradable to activeGate®
