Gefran's QE2008-W Wireless Measurement System Enhances Quality Control for 3D Printing and Injection Molding.
Gefran Inc., based in North Andover, Massachusetts, is introducing the wireless measurement system QE2008-W to the North American market for die-casting and injection molding applications.
With a sampling rate of up to 1,000 measurements per second, the QE2008-W system accurately and non-invasively measures clamping force, bending, and cavity pressure profile. This assists manufacturers in maintaining quality control, safeguarding equipment, and facilitating effective communication for production teams.
When paired with Gefran's Sensormate app, the QE2008-W seamlessly connects to smartphones, tablets, and computers, enabling multiple users to swiftly capture, analyze, and share measurement data.
The Sensormate app can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store, Google Play, and Apple App Store. Each QE2008-W system comes with a protective carrying case containing eight sensors that can be magnetically mounted to tie bars.
Gefran's Sensormate app acts as the digital interface for the QE2008-W system. With network connectivity, users can wirelessly locate sensors through Gefran's app and then download measurements as raw data or present the information in a chart. Users can also rapidly summarize test values and measurement data into a PDF report, incorporating screenshots and comments for contextual details and troubleshooting notes.
To mitigate the impact of bending forces, the QE2008-W employs four sensors evenly distributed around the tie bar, mounted at 90-degree intervals. By averaging the readings from these sensors, the QE2008-W measures maximum tension to ascertain the angle and direction of the bend, achieving greater accuracy of tension and compression measurements for each tie bar.
The QE2008-W's rapid acquisition readings can also measure the cavity pressure profile, which represents the indirect pressure on tie bars during the injection cycle. Understanding the cavity pressure profile enhances production efficiency and simplifies the maintenance of high product quality.
