SMC-Pro FEATURES

The Multicontroller is normally attached to high capacity mixers of a stationary trough design. The programme of the SMC serves to regulate the volume of water and bentonite added into the moulding sand mixture by monitoring compactability and mould strength levels.

Features:

Continuous monitoring of compactability and mould strength
On-line input of measurement values, regulation, monitoring and display
Preselection of measuring programme
Input of correction values
Data storage
Statistical evaluation with graphics for a determined number of batches
Later evaluation of measurement data in Excel
Fault analysis
Operator screen based on web browser technology (MS Internet Explorer)
Future oriented client / server solution
Remote access via Internet or RAS
System backup service
Multiple languages (German, English, French, Italian, Spanish)
Data saved in a data base structure
Data analysis via spread sheet (Excel)
Software on CD with set-up programme
Network with control systems
