Connectors ease mould monitoring
Kistler single-wire, cut and grip technology allows the sensors cables to be simply cut to the required length on-site and connected and disconnected quickly and easily.
Increasing use of cavity pressure and temperature to monitor and control the injection moulding process is making the installation and cabling of the sensors both difficult and prone to error, especially in multicavity moulds To minimise the risk of such errors, Kistler has introduced two miniature multichannel connectors to group signals from either four or eight sensors, pressure or temperature, into a single cable for connection to the production monitoring system

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
The new connectors use the Kistler single-wire, cut and grip technology to allow the sensors cables to be simply cut to the required length on-site and connected and disconnected quickly and easily, without special tools.
The small size of the connectors, only 26mm deep, is especially important as mounting space on the mould is often severely restricted.
The addition of a new, miniature thermocouple amplifier Type 2205A, that can be integrated into the mould, extends the benefits of multichannel cabling to combined pressure and temperature sensors.
The new Kistler multichannel connectors and miniature thermocouple amplifier provide a mould sensor cabling system that minimises the risk of connection errors whilst being simple to install and highly reliable.
