Less scrap – more productivity: Adaptive Process Control (APC)

The newly developed APC machine function from KraussMaffei immediately compensates for fluctuations in the injection molding manufacturing process. Processors will benefit from a uniformly high component quality, lower scrap and material costs and the simplified use of recyclate. Furthermore, the implementation of APC increases energy efficiency in injection molding production. APC is offered for all series from KraussMaffei.

External factors impede end product quality: APC protects systems from unwanted factors

Numerous external factors can impede component quality. Factors that unfortunately cannot be prevented include environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, fluctuations in material quality and flow resistance and human factors.

Cruise control for your injection molding processes: APC keeps processes stable

APC operates in a similar way to cruise control for vehicles. Cruise control systems automatically control the supply of fuel to the engine so that the vehicle does not drop below or exceed a speed defined by the driver, even in changing road and wind conditions. The speed of the vehicle remains constant, even if outside conditions change.
