Automatic Extrusion Die Control System
Diebolt Control APC Pro Main Screen
Main Software Screen of Mahlo's Diebolt Control APC Pro.
The cross profile can be controlled precisely, the reactions of the individual die bolts can be monitored continuously.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF THERMAL DIEBOLTS OF EXTRUSION DIES
The DieControl APC Pro automatically controls thermal bolts of extrusion dies according to the earlier measured cross-section profile of the material. This results in uniformly thick films, sheets or coatings even with fluctuations in the feed, material change or when starting the system.
The automatic control and the extrusion close to the set point also achieve considerable material savings and quality improvement.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
• Exceedingly short recovery times by using optimised “feed-forward” control algorithms
• Modular construction facilitates maintenance and expandability
• Automatic improvement of power-factor by varying the switching time points
• Innovative features such as predictive Neck-In Compensation and Edge-Bead Control
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
• Fully automatic reduction of repetitive errors in crosssheet thickness (coating)
• Considerable savings in raw material thanks to a minimum of set-point errors
• A marked improvement in the quality of the end product
• Instant control ensures a minimum of lost production when changing batches
• Automatic reduction of operator errors thanks to closed-loop control
