Machine controls gain process monitoring. (Injection Molding).Two new software programs from Milacron Inc., Batavia, Ohio Batavia is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,617 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Clermont CountyGR6. Geography Batavia is located at (39.077332, -84. , add process-monitoring capability to its Xtreem PC-based controls. The programs, called ProcessMedic and MachineMedic, eliminate the purchase of separate diagnostic equipment and represent Milacron's first entries in the software business. The programs are standard with Milacron's Xtreem NT Prime controller but optional for the NT/ST version. The software is offered on a CD disk that can be installed in the machine controller. Each software program costs about $3,000. ProcessMedic, originally designed as a Milacron factory tool to calibrate To adjust or bring into balance. Scanners, CRTs and similar peripherals may require periodic adjustment. Unlike digital devices, the electronic components within these analog devices may change from their original specification. See color calibration and tweak. and test machines, is essentially a process-data collection system. It collects SPC 1. (business) SPC - Statistical Process Control.

The software can be used to "fingerprint fingerprint, an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb, used for identification because the arrangement of ridges in any fingerprint is thought to be unique and permanent with each person (no two persons having the same prints have ever been " a particular tool or process in order to confirm proper performance in a later run.

To check, adjust, or determine by comparison with a standard (the graduations of a quantitative measuring instrument): and validated with ProcessMedic at the factory; each new press arrives with a "fingerprint" of the as-new condition, which can be compared with later performance. MachineMedic software is a diagnostic program that allows the user to observe and capture I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output data in real time, within a cycle, on up to 15 variables. This "software oscilloscope/logic analyzer" lets the user select any variable in the machine controller, such as valve response, injection forward, or clamp-open time, and get performance data. Intermittent events such as sticking parts also can be plotted and charted. An option allows the user to incorporate peripheral equipment. *5* |
