The eDART® System is the most comprehensive and powerful process monitoring and control system for plastic injection molding applications. It helps you gain control over the two greatest variables in injection molding: people and plastic.
The system is essential for any molder who wants to stabilize their injection molding process, contain bad parts, and/or control their process to ensure parts of the highest quality, while reducing the cost to make them.
The eDART System’s 3 Software Options:
eDART apex™ for Advanced Process Control
- Reduce scrap and processing time
- Know how a job is operating at a glance
- Minimize the impact of process variation with DECOUPLED MOLDING® techniques
- View historical data on every shot of your process
- Harness the power of valve gate sequencing for the ultimate processing control
- Take advantage of all the features of the eDART flx and conx systems as well
eDART flx™ for Abnormal Part Containment
- Use in-cavity pressure and temperature sensors to see what’s happening in the mold
- Discover which parameters are essential to your product quality
- Automatically divert “reject parts” to stop shipping short shots
- Eliminate costly and time-consuming manual parts inspection
- Lynx sensors are plug-and-play, no pre-configuration required
eDART conx™ for Process Stabilization
- Make sure the right job and the right processes are running all the time
- Monitor critical information plant-wide with the eDART Data Manager (EDM)
- Create a common language for communicating about processes
- Ensure shop floor personnel and mid- to upper-level managers are all on the same page
- Transfer molds more efficiently and resume quality levels more quickly with templates
