One visualisation – one operation: Despite its size, the handy VARIO turns out to be a highly user-friendly, efficient hot runner control device, thanks to its display that can be swiveled up and down. Two desk devices with up to 32 zones can be combined with each other via the master-slave function and controlled per touch panel through just one device. In addition, connecting further devices, including needle valve-control and pressure measurement system, is possible via standard Ethernet connection. The VARIO with microcontroller control meets the highest requirements for the process reliability of your plastic manufacture while remaining as small and handy as possible. A further step towards the future is the linkage of all hot runner controllers to a central mould server within your company network or via OPC/UA.
