Netstal enables adaptive system pressure reduction

The Swiss machine manufacturer Netstal is now offering an adaptive system pressure reduction for its injection moulding machines. According to the company, this retrofit enables the optimum operating pressure and thus leads to the same productivity with lower power consumption.

In order to cope with peak loads, the hydraulic system of hybrid Netstal injection moulding machines is designed for a maximum operating pressure of 250 bar. Depending on the application, a lower value would also be sufficient. „This is where we come in with the new system pressure reduction and make our machines even more energy-efficient. The adaptive control determines the optimum point at all times in automatic mode and adjusts the system pressure accordingly. With the same or even increased productivity, the energy consumption for providing the system pressure is reduced to a minimum„, says Daniel Wipfli, Product Manager at Netstal. A lower load on the components can also have a positive effect on machine availability, maintenance intervals can be planned more efficiently and the machine can produce for longer.
