Intelligent clamping force optimization with iQ clamp control | Video tutorial

With the intelligent software solution iQ clamp control, you can determine the optimal clamping force for your injection moulding machine, which not only extends the tool's lifespan but also improves venting and saves energy.

This short tutorial will introduce you to the key features and benefits of iQ clamp control. Perfect for machine operators and engineers looking to maximize production efficiency.

00:00 – Welcome to our guide on clamping force optimization with iQ clamp control! Learn how using the optimal clamping force can save energy and extend your tool's service life.

00:14 – What is iQ clamp control, and where can you find it?
iQ clamp control is a setpoint assistant for determining the optimal clamping force. It helps minimize machine wear and can be found under the “Production” section of the control unit.

00:51 – Clamping force adjustment options in iQ clamp control
Find out how to set the upper and lower clamping force limits to tailor the optimisation to your production needs. Three options are available: Alarm, Reject and Alarm, or Reject and Alarm Light.

02:02 – How does clamping force optimization work?
After all settings are made, the machine records reference curves during a dry cycle. In the optimisation phase, the clamping force is gradually adjusted to find the optimal clamping force.

04:27 – Conclusion and important notes
A stable process is essential for accurate results during referencing and optimisation.
