Demag NC5 Control System
Controlling the future ...
As the communication interface between the injection moulding machine and the operator, the machine control system plays a crucial part in the production process. In order to provide easy access to and manipulation of the capabilities of a machine, an ergonomic production means needs a functional and logically organised operator environment. This was the starting point for the further development of the proven Demag controller. The result is the NC5, a high performance machine control system of the latest generation which is even more closely tailored to operator needs and so further enhances the ergonomics of the Demag machines.
Every Systec, whether small or large and from whichever series, comes equipped with the new NC5. The operator is conveniently and logically assisted in all steps from setting up and process optimisation through to production and documentation. Intelligent modules of the control system provide valuable, application-orientated assistance in setting up the machine and starting the system matched to the individual needs and skill level of the operator. A host of new and onward developments in operator assistance and process documentation enhances the performance and value of the NC5 control for the operator.
The NC5 control can also handle all necessary settings for specialised techniques and complex injection moulding pro- cesses. It also allows the integration of peripheral device control systems, such as hot runner, temperature control and automation equipment. This makes the NC5 a powerful control centre that makes it possible for the operator to evaluate at a glance all machine and peripheral functions and obtain information on the current cycle, past production and actual condition of the machine. The NC5 also has logical documentation capabilities to monitor all quality-relevant processes and machine data.
