Unity - Injection Molding Platform
The most critical element for successful molding is tooling. With this in mind a Unity solution starts with the mold. The next priority is melt delivery; this includes the injection unit and runner system (hot or cold).
Starting with the mold design; machine constraints such as tie bars, machine guarding, open distance, etc are eliminated. Integration opportunities include: multi-material, insert molding, or post molding operations. Part handling, vision inspection, and packaging can be considered without any limitations. With molding, part acceptance, and part handling systems in place a Unity, pre-configured, motion and clamp system can be added

Unity software controls and monitors all the functions of the molding cell including hot runner temperature control. Lot codes, serializing, and device history record information are generated and distributed by a single control system. Machine performance functions and diagnostics are similarly monitored remotely by Industry 4.0 or via OPC.
