CYCLE GUARD

The optional available Cycle Guard monitors permanently the power supply and provides sufficient energy in an emergency. Cycle Guard does not require batteries or accus and is therefore particularly low-maintenance and cost-effective in operation.

  • Brief power failures or fluctuations in the grid lasting milliseconds are reliably bridged.
  • If the outage lasts somewhat longer, then sufficient power is provided to reliably and controllably shut down the cycle. Preforms are fully injected and demolded. Meterage for the next shot is stopped and the entire system is controllably brought to a halt. After a short system check, production can be quickly restarted.

Your advantage:
Cycle Guard increases machine availability in harsh industrial environments and reliably secures your productivity at lowest unit costs.
