Precision machining center manufacturing plastic processing components with advanced CNC equipment#1.3
Process Innovation
Revolutionary process control technologies including our patented Melt-Profiler™ and Melt-IQ™ systems that measure the polymer temperature Real-Time, and converts temperature into “work” in order to analyze the Thermodynamic ECO System of the Molding Machine, Extruder or Additive Printer. These innovations enable unprecedented control over melt homogeneity and part consistency. We have closed the loop between the polymer and the machine by looking at the polymer melt, using the laws of physics and our advanced proprietary math models to detect perfect parts!
