If you don’t keep up with the times, you’ll be left behind—and that goes for injection molding machines, too. This poses a problem for plastics processors. After all, even after years of use, most machines are still “reliable workhorses.” This is exactly where control system retrofits come into play.

Greater efficiency, greater process reliability, greater digitalization—constantly rising demands often pose challenges for existing machinery. This usually comes down to the control systems. After all, injection molding machines that have been producing reliably for 20, 30, or even 40 years are often still in good mechanical condition.
