temperierung ORCA temperature control system

The ever-increasing demands of modern moulding shops with regard to process control, process data collection and the linking of injection-moulding machine, mould and temperature control system can be easily overcome with our proprietary development ORCA. The temperature control system is a maintenance-free system that allows for the contact-free measuring of the temperature control media, whether water or oil. Numerous customers have already been won over by the additional benefits offered by the system, such as its high level of process reliability, simple operation, optimal volume flow and easy integration into the injection-moulding machine. The temperature control systems are the most advanced of their kind, and have proven themselves at well-known vehicle manufacturers and leading plastics processing firms.

The performance of our temperature control devices has been specifically adapted to Orca distribution.

orca temperiergerät

The devices work with water, and can supply or dissipate heat during the process. As the “powerful engine” of our system, the devices ensure an accurate temperature and maximum flow to the distributors. In addition to the standard versions, we also have temperature control devices that are optimally designed for any conceivable production process from 10°C to 350°C.

Orca 120 is our maintenance-free system for temperatures up to 120°C.

orca 120

Dual-ultrasound sensor technology is used to measure the flow of the temperature control medium in order to guarantee optimal temperature control. The sensor and the control unit also indicate any flow volumes that are outside of the desired limit values. An installed alarm interface to the machine interrupts the process as necessary.

The sensors are connected to the control unit via IO-Link. The system can be integrated into the machine controller, including full integration via OPC UA. As with all of our temperature control devices, the devices are equipped with an intuitive touch display.

Orca 160 was developed for systems with temperatures up to 160°C.

orca 160

This means that sufficient temperature control fluid can be supplied through the temperature control circuit even at high temperatures. Flow measurement is performed mechanically. In addition to its 18 kW heating power, the Orca 160 is also notable for its 140 l/min Grundfos pump.

With Orca Plus, the flow volume can be regulated for each individual control circuit.

orca plus

A proportional valve in the supply line controls the flow volume, thereby guaranteeing optimal temperature control. The flow volume is measured using maintenance-free sensor technology.

Orca MoldControl was originally developed to monitor injection moulds with regard to their correct and operational status.

Orca MoldControl was originally developed to monitor injection moulds with regard to their correct and operational status.

This could mean either the correct positioning of inserts or the presence of foreign bodies inside the cavity.

The measurement method that is used here explicitly extracts three different features from image contents, and compares each one separately in a higher-dimensional space. This involves calculating features to describe the form, structure and optical characteristics.

The first stage involves using these features for the online training of a one-class classifier, which also allows for the training of varying setpoint statuses. A second training stage offers the option of training a binary network classifier through the presentation of negative examples. This ultimately makes it possible to reliably detect even the slightest differences.

The separation of the features means that their influence on the overall result is infinitely variable, making it possible to achieve invariance to certain perturbations.

As a result, Orca MoldControl is an easy-to-integrate system for the automatic monitoring of production sequences. The continual further development of the system means that it is also becoming increasingly suitable for fully automatic quality assurance.

Orca Factory offers optimal temperature control for manufacturing processes in fully automatic production sequences.

orca-touch-display

The linking of all parameters means that the Orca’s maintenance-free measurement and control system can also be implemented in the fully automatic intelligent factory as part of the transition to Industry 4.0. With sensor technology, cooling circuit regulation and fully automatic process monitoring with camera systems, Orca Factory offers optimal temperature control for manufacturing processes in fully automatic production sequences.

Additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing techniques offer virtually unlimited design freedom. These techniques really show off their full potential in the design and realisation of customised and sophisticated components. Monetising this freedom requires both an application-specific understanding of the components and an excellent level of process knowledge and understanding. enesty additiv offers this expertise based on its many years of experience in R&D projects and case studies.

We produce components made from various materials using all standard additive manufacturing methods. Additive manufacturing is a profitable alternative particularly in the case of components with small batch sizes, a high level of complexity or quick delivery times.

additive-fertigung-turbine

Examples of standard methods:

  • Plastic: PJ, SLA, SLS, MJF, FDM – acrylic resin, PA-GF, PA12, PC, ABS, etc.
  • Metal: SLM, EBM – Al & Ti alloys, stainless & tool steels, etc.

We are open to requests for additional materials and methods and for research projects, which, in the event of their application, we will professionally review to enable a suitable implementation.

With our range of services, we will find the optimal technology to bring your components into reality.

We recommend using the 3D printing method for production.

prototyp-am-3d-werkz

For the production of small-scale series in original material or series with very short cycle times, we recommend using the 3D printing method for production. This can achieve cost reductions and time savings of 50–80% in small-scale series production with prototype moulds.

enesty visionenesty vision

For many production processes, external control is only possible to a limited extent. Determining whether components have the required parameters or whether there is mould damage that could lead to machine downtime is usually only possible after the fact.

However, increasingly demanding quality assurance requirements also call for complete control of all processes in real time. This level of monitoring is guaranteed by the newly developed enesty vision. The camera-based plug-and-detect system uses AI-based algorithms and combines the steps of measuring, testing and identifying. It can be quickly integrated and individually adapted and expanded. Additional benefits include intuitive operation of the control system and a simple set-up. enesty vision provides results in the form of reports, and a monitoring function keeps a record of all results.

enesty vision is a joint development of Collasys and enesty.

conesty moulds

Temperature control channels positioned close to the active surface make a substantial contribution to the production of high-quality components with efficient cycle times. CONTURA MTC specialises in the simulation-assisted design of these types of temperature control systems and in the production of conformally cooled mould inserts.

Up to now, the positive influence of these inserts on component quality and process times was often countered by the additional processing effort required during the mould-making stage. enesty solves this paradox by combining the unique capabilities of CONTURA inserts directly in the design of injection moulds to create conesty moulds. The possibilities of conformally cooled inserts are taken into account right from the very start in collaboration with CONTURA during the offer process. This makes it possible to present the added value of conformal temperature control as a customer benefit from an early stage. In addition to significantly improving the quality of the components, this also helps to achieve an average cycle time reduction of 25 to 30 per cent for technical components.
