By integrating the many features enabling anticipation of malfunctions, the QMC solution creates a reduction in machine downtime.

The interactive control panel enables the validation of the safety points during mold changing operations.
Mold movement anticipation function greatly helps to avoid mold fall
Thanks to IMAG technology, the system accurately controls. The operator is alerted if it is damaged or insufficient with regard to the force exerted on the mold.

The IMAG-Editor software enables the clamping force for each mold to be calculated beforehand, depending on the press on which it will be used. With this information any problems can be anticipated ahead of production.
