Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Melt-IQ™ improve injection molding quality?
The Melt-IQ™ monitors real-time melt temperature, measures mass displacement for each shot, and uses advanced algorithms to predict good or bad parts before completion. This enables proactive adjustments and significantly reduces scrap rates while ensuring consistent quality.
What is the VP switch point control feature?
The VP switch point control manages the velocity-pressure transition during the injection forward phase. This optimization ensures better part consistency, reduces cycle times, and improves overall molding process efficiency by precisely controlling when the injection switches from velocity to pressure control.
Where is the Temp-Sense™ sensor installed?
The micro-bead Temp-Sense™ sensor is placed into the distal end of the injection molding machine's end cap, nozzle cylinder, or last to fill cavity. This strategic placement ensures accurate melt temperature readings at critical points in the process.
What power requirements does the system have?
The Melt-IQ™ comes with its own 120-230V -5V power supply and is housed in an industrial 10x8x8 enclosure. It features five digital type K thermocouple inputs and includes an HMI display for user interface and monitoring.
Are software upgrades included with the system?
Yes, the Melt-IQ™ includes free software upgrades to ensure your system stays current with the latest features and improvements. MD Plastics continuously enhances the system's capabilities and provides these updates at no additional cost.
