Temperature control has a major influence on the quality of the injection molding process. For around 35 years, Hasco Hot Runner has been intensively involved in the further development of hot runner control units. The division offers a variety of different units for customized applications, including Basezone H1250, Clickzone H1270, Valuezone H1252 and Primezone H1281, all of which are identified by a high level of production reliability, control accuracy, user friendliness and long service life.
Basezone’s basic control unit H1250, available in 1, 2 and 4 control zones, enables a high level of reliability in production, ensured by improved, self-optimizing control characteristics, soft-start mode and LED displays for target/actual temperature, control parameters and an unambiguous alarm diagnosis. Hasco hot runner says this device stands out for its simplicity, being designed as a plug-and-play controller and dispensing with additional features. It can also be switched to manual mode, if needed.
The Clickzone H1270 module controller allows 3-6 modular units to be fitted. Self-optimizing control characteristics, a soft start for gentle drying of the heating unit, LED displays for target/actual temperature, control parameters and reliable error messages are some of this controller’s features. A two-color LED strip shows the operating status. For flexible injection molding production, the controller can also be replaced quickly and easily during operation.
The multi-zone control units Valuezone H1252 are available in two versions with 6 and 12 control zones. A programmable soft start, a constant power display, unambiguous alarm diagnosis and permanent signalization of the operating state via an LED strip ensure maximum reliability in production. A control accuracy of <1°C under optimum conditions and switch-over temperature sensor are additional features.
Primezone H1281 makes an important addition to the hot runners portfolio. This range is said to boast high control accuracy, intuitive ease of operation and comprehensive diagnostic functions. The touch-screen display and the latest software technology enables simple and intuitive operation just like a modern smartphone. With the three table-top sizes, it is possible to control between 6 and 48 zones precisely and reliably and, with the mobile version, between 64 and 96 zones.
