Single wire technology eases sensor
applications
Single wire technology can now be specified on all Kistler sensors for monitoring cavity pressure in both multi-cavity moulds and large, single component moulds.
Single wire technology can now be specified on all Kistler sensors for monitoring cavity pressure in both multicavity moulds and large, single component moulds The main benefit of the unique Kistler single wire technology is the simplification of installation as the single wire sensor, being installed without a connector, requires only a bored hole to accommodate the cable

Sensor measures mould cavity pressure indirectly
Cavity pressure is usually measured with the sensor fitted directly in the mould cavity, but Kistler's new PinSens force sensor type 9204 is ideal for indirect cavity pressure measurement
Melt pressure sensors aimed at extrusion process
The Kistler melt pressure sensors, types 4086/87A and 4096/97A, are designed for measuring pressure in the extrusion process.
As several cables can be threaded down a single bore, the single wire sensor is ideal for multicavity applications.
The prefixed connector, on a conventional screened sensor cable, can make installation both difficult and costly as a milled channel is often needed for each sensor.
Unlike conventional screened cables, which must be replaced or repaired by the manufacturer, the single wire connecting cable can be cut to the required length after installation and easily extended and repaired by the user without special tools.
The cable can be terminated with a quick fitting connector or multichannel charge amplifier mounted on the mould and is compatible with all existing Kistler charge amplifiers integrated into injection moulding machines.
From the connector or charge amplifier, the sensor signal is carried by screened cable to the monitoring equipment, such as the Kistler DataFlow system.
Kistler single wire technology simplifies the installation and maintenance of cavity pressure sensors in all types of injection moulding machines and will deliver significant cost savings, especially in multicavity applications.
