Progressive Components introduces System Cooling Connect, an advanced controller engineered for seamless integration with injection molding machines and enhanced data-driven process control.
Since its introduction in 2014, the System Cooling suite has enabled injection molders and mold makers to collect, monitor, and analyze data from cooling lines within molds and during production. The system captures crucial parameters—such as coolant flow, temperature, and pressure—and records time-stamped data for robust historical tracking and process optimization.
The latest addition, System Cooling Connect, links cloud-enabled System Cooling Manifolds (supporting 2 to 12 zones) directly to injection molding machines, providing secure, real-time data acquisition and improved operational efficiency.
Key features and benefits:
- Secure access to process data (supply temperature and pressure, return temperature by zone, flow by zone, and return pressure), defined limits, and alarm signals.
- Supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 4G connectivity.
- Full OPC UA / EUROMAP 82.1 machine integration.
- Built-in support function for remote assistance, software updates, and troubleshooting.
- Optional port identification faceplates for Connect Manifolds, four Test Rig Connect configurations with an 8-zone manifold and various pump sizes, and Portable Cart available.
- Optional system add-ons:
- System Cooling Connect VNC - extends System Cooling Connect with local visualization capabilities when on-machine display is required. Includes all System Cooling Connect features, supports System Cooling Live Local dashboard visualization via VNC, and enables live monitoring directly on machines that support VNC.
- System Cooling Live - A digital solution that provides centralized monitoring, analysis, and long-term storage of data from System Cooling manifolds and Test Rig systems, providing factory-wide visibility (remotely or from a central control room).
- System Cooling Live Local - offers System Cooling Live functionality without cloud dependency for sites with restricted IT, security, or cloud policies. A System Cooling Live Local dashboard provides access to data analysis and reports, with all data stored locally within the factory network.
