Thermon UniCon600: 6 Zone Hot Runner Control System
Stock Code:
SKU: product options

The UniCon600 multi-zone hot runner control system has been designed in modular form, allowing the module for each zone to be replaced and maintained independently.

It is a rugged, easy to maintain system. Based on the well proven Gefran 600 controller, combined with standard Solidstate Relays and LED fault indicators, the unit can be easily maintained and repaired on site.

We have designed a modular hotrunner system based on the Gefran 600 controller, making the control of moulds both easy and affordable. Models from 3 to 12 zones per rack are available.

Features:

  • self-tuning PID - accurate control to within a degree or two, even on microhotrunners with very low thermal inertia.
  • softstart - user programmable, superior exponential algorithm, variable time allows sufficient drying time to lengthen element life.
  • self-checking - during operation the UniCon600 continuously monitors the vital functions: thermocouples, heating elements, SSR switching devices and cabling.
  • Alarm and fault indication - Temperature alarm configurable per zone. Alarm can be set as Hi, Lo or Deviation alarm. Heater-break alarm senses an open circuit condition on the heating element. Relay fault alarm indicating solid state relay failure. Fuse alarm senses a blown ultra rapid fuse condition
  • modular - zone modules can be exchanged under power while the system is running, no downtime.
  • manual operation - any zone can be switched to manual control should a thermocouple fail, automatic switchover can be pre-programmed
  • easy to maintain - controllers, SSRs and fuses are standard devices, easy to obtain, quick to exchange.
  • rear extractor fans provides sufficient cooling under full load operation (6 & 12 station).
  • heavy duty connector plugs are fitted to the rear of the enclosure. The female socket is used for heater element output. The male socket is connected for type J sensor input wiring.
