Thomas Mitterlehner from Moldsonics at Toolplace: How our innovative ultrasonic sensor technology is revolutionizing the injection moulding process

At Moldsonics, we are always striving to push the boundaries of manufacturing technology. That's why we're particularly pleased that our Co-Founder and one of the two Managing Directors, Thomas Mitterlehner, recently had the opportunity to speak to Toolplace about our latest innovations. In an in-depth interview, Thomas shed light on the revolutionary developments we are driving in the field of ultrasonic sensor technology and explained how this technology is changing the injection molding process from the ground up.

Moldsonics: Pioneering work in ultrasonic sensor technology

Since Moldsonics was founded in Linz in 2021, we have established ourselves as innovators in the field of ultrasonic sensor technology. What began as an interdisciplinary team of plastics engineers, mechatronics engineers and measurement technicians has developed into a company that offers highly specialized sensor solutions for the manufacturing industry. Our roots lie in twelve years of intensive research, which has enabled us to transfer state-of-the-art measurement methods from science into practical applications.

Our ultrasonic sensors have been specially developed to meet the requirements of injection moulds and plasticizing units. They offer a unique way to measure quality parameters such as flow fronts, flow velocities, solidification behavior and wear without contact. This precise data acquisition and analysis is crucial for optimizing the injection moulding process, as it enables a drastic reduction in rejects, lower production costs and greater efficiency.

The advantages of our ultrasonic sensors in the injection molding process

One of the biggest advantages of our ultrasonic sensor technology is its ability to monitor the production process in real time. This allows manufacturers to react quickly to changes and optimize the process before major problems occur. This real-time data provides insight into the condition of tools and production lines, resulting in improved control and efficiency.

Our sensors are designed to ensure high precision and reliability even in the harshest industrial environments. This is particularly important in the injection molding process, where the smallest deviations can have a significant impact on product quality. By continuously monitoring and adjusting the process with our sensors, manufacturers can not only improve the quality of their products, but also reduce their production costs and increase their productivity.

Insights from the interview: How our sensor technology is used in practice

In an interview with Toolplace, Thomas Mitterlehner discussed the practical applications of our ultrasonic sensors and explained how this technology is already being used in the industry. He described how our sensors help to accurately monitor the flow fronts and flow speeds in the injection molding process and how this information is used to adjust the process in real time. These adjustments lead to a significant improvement in product quality and a reduction in material waste.

Thomas also spoke about the importance of recording the solidification behavior in the tool. These measurements are critical to ensuring the structural integrity and consistency of the end product. With our sensors, manufacturers can identify potential problems early and correct them before they lead to costly production downtime.

Toolplace: A strong partner for the injection molding and toolmaking industry

Toolplace is an innovative platform that helps injection molders and toolmakers in the DACH region to hold their own against international competition in the long term. The platform offers a digital procurement solution that is specially tailored to the needs of injection mold procurement. This relieves companies of administrative processes and frees up their specialists to concentrate on value-adding tasks.

Toolplace also uses an AI algorithm that adds additional toolmakers from an extensive database to project inquiries. The result: an expanded market view and the fast, targeted identification of new suppliers. At the same time, toolmakers registered with Toolplace benefit from direct access to potential new customers.

By partnering with Toolplace, we can ensure that our ultrasonic sensor technology is integrated into manufacturing processes in a targeted and efficient manner. Together, we are working to make the manufacturing industry smarter, more efficient and more future-proof.
