Fast Heat by Spark Industries is introducing MOD24, a modern, modular hot runner controller offering unlimited plug and play of six-zone hot runner control modules within compact, 24-zone cabinets. The cabinets themselves offer up to 192 zones with a single Fast Heat Pulse HMI. The display can be cabinet-mounted in multiple configurations, remote-mounted or integrated with a molding machine controller. MOD24 is Industry 4.0-enabled with OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/IP, 4-Channel I/O and Micro-USB Recipe Transfer and operates on Fast Heat control technology
Prior to MOD24, industry has had two options for hot runner controls: traditional modular mainframe controller with independently controlled power modules, and “integrated” controllers with a single HMI and more advanced control, but without a modular cabinet system that can easily be expanded or reduced. MOD24 combines the benefits of both into one system while improving cabinet mounting, power options, injection molding machine integration and Industry 4.0 capabilities.
Mold builders and toolrooms can also enjoy MOD24’s advanced diagnostics, recipe storage upload/download and reporting functionalities.
