Indirect mould pressure sensor
Kistler has enhanced its widely used mould pressure sensors to include indirect measurement and single-wire, replaceable cable plus an increased maximum operating temperature of 200 Degrees C.
The new sensors simplify installation and reduce service costs by allowing the connecting cable to be replaced on-site by the user The single-wire technology, replaceable cables simplify mould manufacturing by needing only a bored hole to accommodate the cable, which can be cut to length after installation

Mould pressure sensors cope with changeovers
Adaptor based mould pressure sensor allows moulds to be disassembled and inserts changed simply and quickly without risk to the sensor or its cable.
As several cables can be threaded down a single bore, the single wire sensor is ideal for multi-cavity mould applications.
In addition, the new sensors are suitable for use with multi-channel cable technology allowing up to eight sensors to be connected to a Kistler process monitoring system using a single cable and connector.
This arrangement is very space efficient in multi-cavity moulds, which are easier to equip and cheaper to cable.
Kistler's multi-channel systems now also use Unisense technology so that all sensors have the same sensitivity to simplify the configuration of monitoring systems.
