How EREMA realized inline wear measurement with Moldsonics
COOPERATION FOR INTELLIGENT RECYCLING
Bild: ENGEL Austria
The solution (hardware and software) developed together with Moldsonics enables our customers for the first time to monitor screw and barrel wear conditions continuously and in real time, visualize them in BluPort® and derive maintenance recommendations.
The challenge
Extruder screws wear out invisibly. The consequences are unplanned downtimes, long delivery times for spare parts and reduced process efficiency.
Solution
In close cooperation with EREMA, a non-contact inline wear measurement system based on ultrasound was developed. Three sensors continuously monitor the condition of the barrel and screw. The results are displayed on the machine HMI via a traffic light system and visualized in detail in the EREMA BluPort® portal.
