Free web seminar on extruder temperature control

A free, web-based training seminar: "Extruders - improving product quality and increasing product throughput" discusses control of barrel temperatures for extruders and injection moulding machines

A new, and free, web-based training seminar from ControlSoft entitled, "Extruders - improving product quality and increasing product throughput", provides an overview of the inherent problems in controlling barrel temperatures for extruders and injection moulding machines.

Participants learn control strategies to improve operations and product consistency.

This seminar is designed for automation specialists, both novice and expert.

The next date for this one-hour seminar is scheduled for 25 March 2006, at 11:00 am Eastern Time.

One of the most difficult control applications is extrusion barrel zone temperature control characterised by temperature overshoot and steady state temperature oscillations.

The control problem is further aggravated because of multiple zones and the different dynamics for cooling and heating.

This training seminar provides an overview of the control problems, causes, and resulting production problems.

Participants learn about specially designed control strategies that are applied with the existing control systems covering both start-up and steady state operations.

* Fast start-up with minimum overshoot to minimise startup time.

* Tight temperature control during production.

* Fast response for product or setpoint changes.

A broadband internet connection is recommended to view the seminar.

This is a space-limited event.
