The working principle of the mold temperature controller

The mold temperature machine, also known as the mold temperature control machine, was initially applied in the temperature control industry of injection molds. Later, with the development of the mechanical industry, its application became increasingly widespread. Nowadays, mold temperature machines are generally divided into water temperature machines and oil temperature machines, and the temperature they control can reach ± 0.1 degree.
Chinese name: Mold Temperature Machine, Mold Temperature Control Machine           Common medium: Conductive oil, water
Foreign name: TCU                                             Heating method: Electric heating
Purpose: To control the temperature of the mold and maintain a constant temperature of the mold
Mold temperature machines are widely used in various industries such as plastic molding, light guide plate die-casting, rubber tires, rollers, chemical reaction vessels, adhesion, mixing, etc. From a broad perspective, it is called a temperature control device, which includes temperature control in both heating and cooling aspects.
Mold temperature machines are widely used in the plastic industry, and their main functions are:
1. Improve the molding efficiency of products;
2. Reduce the generation of defective products;
3. Improve the appearance of products and suppress defects in products;
4. Accelerate the production progress, reduce energy consumption, and save energy.
Mold temperature machines are also widely used in the die-casting industry, especially in the manufacturing of magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys. Inconsistent or inappropriate mold temperatures can lead to unstable casting dimensions during production. The casting can deform during ejection, resulting in defects such as thermal pressure, mold sticking, surface depression, internal shrinkage cavities, and thermal bulges. It also affects the production cycle, such as filling time, cooling time, and spraying time, which all have unstable variables. The lifespan of the mold can also be affected by the impact of overcooling and overheating, causing expensive steel to crack and accelerating its aging.
In modern factories, in response to market competition, to save manpower, improve quality, and reduce costs, the business strategy is urgent. The use of mold temperature machines can reduce the preheating time of molds, improve the surface quality of products, and enable fully automated production. Improving the lifespan of molds is a necessary means to increase productivity.
The application of temperature control machines in other industries is an inevitable condition for equipment, and the names are also different. In the temperature control of PVC sheeting wheels, it is called an oil heater; in extrusion equipment, it is called a temperature control device; in rubber mixing equipment, it is called a temperature control system or temperature control machine. In these devices, there is basically a process of rapid heating followed by insulation. In rubber equipment, after heating, there is also a long-term process of cooling and reducing temperature.
