Our solutions for this industry
Precise control of variables for plastic injection and extrusion
Designed to meet the demands of small-scale machines and processes, XP Series PLCs have the capacity to optimize plastic extrusion and injection processes, ensuring efficiency, precision, and quality at every production stage. With a powerful processor and onboard multipurpose I/O points, the series’ controllers can manage critical parameters such as temperature, speed, and pressure in the extrusion process. These features help ensure the production of plastic parts with precise dimensions and consistent characteristics, resulting in high-quality products and reducing material waste.
These same characteristics can be applied to the plastic injection process, where Altus’s compact and IoT-Ready PLCs coordinate the injection cycle, adjusting temperature, pressure, and cycle time precisely and efficiently. This ensures the formation of plastic parts with superior finishing and shorter production times.
Control and monitoring of handling and transport processes
With a powerful processor and onboard I/O points, the NX3008, the most advanced CPU model in the NX Series, has the capacity to coordinate the movement of parts and components in a precise and dynamic manner. This processing power allows the product to control conveyors, elevators, belts, winches, doors, pneumatic pistons, and other devices. This enables the controller to perform handling and transport operations efficiently, reducing cycle times and increasing production capacity.
Furthermore, NX Series PLCs allow for integration with logistics and automation systems, such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and automated transport systems. This enables even more efficient and safe material movement, eliminating dependence on manual operations and reducing the risk of errors.
Smart and highly efficient production lines
The technology embedded in Nexto Series programmable controllers allows for the intelligent control of operations throughout the entire production line in a plastic industry. From the input of raw materials to the output of finished products, Nexto family PLCs coordinate the operation of machines and equipment, ensuring synchrony, precision, and agility at every stage of the process.
By choosing Nexto products, you reduce operational costs, minimize cycle times, improve product quality, and increase production capacity. Furthermore, the flexibility of these PLCs allows for quick and efficient adaptations to market demands, ensuring agile production aligned with customer expectations.
