Plug-and-Play Modular Hot Runner Controller
NPE2024: Spark Industries’ patent-pending MOD24 hot runner controller offers unlimited plug-and-play of 6-zone hot runner control modules.
Spark Industries, which acquired the assets Fast Heat in December 2020, is unveiling the MOD24 patent-pending modular hot runner controller at NPE2024. Users can daisy chain up to eight 24-zone capacity cabinets with any number of six-zone modules inside for up to 192 zones of temperature control with a single Fast Heat, Pulse HMI.
The display can be cabinet mounted in multiple configurations, as well as remote mounted or integrated with a molding machine controller. The cabinets measure 12 × 16 × 20 inches, and the system is Industry 4.0 enabled with OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/IP and 4-Channel I/O communication protocols. Micro-USB recipe transfer is possible, operating on Fast Heat control technology. Spark says the MOD24 reduces peak kW demand by up to 67%, with an auto bakeout, even soak and soft soak time. Automatic or manual zone slaving is also possible.
