Logic800

Configured ready for use the Logic800 provides a complete answer to extrusion line control, with very precise temperature regulation, and a range of features to reduce downtime, improve productivity and machine safety.

Just some of the features!

 

Improve quality

    Extremely precise temperature holding

Reduce set up times

    Store and retrieve all machine settings

Automatic label or worksheet printing

    For production control and traceability

Automatically timed heater start up

    The extruder is ready at start of shift

Quick tool change program

    Increase production

 

At the press of a button, barrel temperatures can be dropped down to a holding point, and head zones switched to off. Replace the head; press a button, and the head zones switch on and the barrel temperature set points return to operating levels.

Protecting Man and Machine!

No more broken screws! A soak timer prevents the screw from starting until the process temperature is reached and a soak time has been completed. The possibility of pressure build up in the extruder during heating is removed by a warming gradient, heating the zones from the outside to the centre.

 

The Logic 800 will also prevent material degradation by checking the rotation of the screw. If the screw is not started within a pre-set time, the heat zones will automatically switch off, OR drop to a safe holding

temperature.

The Complete Solution

Logic 800 takes control of all machine functions removing the need for individual temperature controllers. The functions are fast and simple to access, whether auto-tuning or simply setting alarm and set points.

Logic 800 can also monitor and control all downstream machinery, providing status information or machine alarm conditions, or used as a reference for single line speed control.

 

Machine status on one page

Monitor all primary extruder functions at a glance, with barrel temperatures, screw speed, motor load and a host of other information.

 

Easy to use

 

Temperatures are quickly set on one page with two alarm levels provided to warn the operator that the temperature is outside the set point or approaching a dangerous level.

Auto-Start Up

 

Set the 24 hour, 7day auto timer to switch on the heaters prior to the start of the shift and the extruder is ready for use immediately. 

 

Discreet programs constantly monitor the machine to ensure that any condition or machine fault that may occur does not prove dangerous.

Control Production

 

Key in the number of parts required in the production control box and the Logic800 will countdown until the production run is complete. It will also count up the number produced and predict the time to completion of the batch. The operator can then plan ahead for the next tool change.

 

All the information on this page can be printed, either on request or periodically. Alternatively print on an adhesive label and on completion of a box or reel, and just stick on the label for full production traceability

Logistic

 

Really understand your production! 

Logistic will automatically provide  costings, production and product analysis, and real time data.

Ease of Use

Dedicated hot keys allow quick access to programs and operations. Drop down windows give access for change of memory or password level. Switch off all barrel heaters or all head heaters independently.

The fast cool button will switch off all heat zones and switch on the cooling fans, quickly reducing the machine temperatures, whilst a hold button will reduce all zones down to the holding temperature.

When changing tooling, use the hold button to reduce the temperatures, and press the head zone button to switch off the head heaters. Change the tooling, press the head zone button and the hold button and the machine will return to the set point.

Temperature at a Glance

The set point and actual temperatures are shown graphically, so any deviation is immediately obvious.

 

The scale can be adjusted so that temperatures can be monitored very precisely.

 

Temperature stability can be monitored via the trending graphs or SPC package with display of both xbar and range (R) charts.

 

LogicX  

The Logic800 can now be used on almost any machine which needs an advanced control system. 

The LogicX software will allow anyone to program the Logic800 using the popular Windows VB program.

Memory Storage

 

Once the machine is set up to run a particular product all the processing parameters can be stored in an internal memory.  The stored parameters include machine set up data, temperatures, safety programs etc. To identify the program a name, tool and product code can be entered.

 

The saved program can be restored instantly, reducing set up times.  For similar products copy this program to make the next set up even quicker.

The Logic800 can be upgraded for almost any extrusion line operation. The list of possible option is endless however the following standard options are available:

  • Additional Temperature Zones

  • Hopper Level Alarm

  • Melt Pressure Indication

  • Melt Temperature Indication

  • Melt Pressure Control

  • Gravimetric Feeding

  • Feed Throat Temperature

  • Linked Speed Controls

  • Auto-Start and Run

  • Wall and Diameter Control

If the option you require is not listed, please ask.
