Services
Inspection
Reliability, durability and performance are the outstanding features of our Netstal machines. Regular inspections help preserve these value-creating attributes. So you consistently maintain an overview of the condition of your machines, we document these using an extensive checklist.
Systematically avoid machine downtime
Longstanding empirical values confirm that regular machine inspections reduce downtime.
The Netstal machine inspection provides an efficient and professional overview of the overall condition of your machines. Using a checklist, we examine the system’s electrical, hydraulic and mechanical components as well as safety circuits, and document the current condition.
Add functional options
Supplement the machine inspection with functional options. Transparent in terms of cost and customized. Option examples:
- Clamping force measurement
- Temperature control
- Injection unit alignment check

Machine calibration according to (VDMA 24470-1)
We check parameters relevant to quality and their commensurate typical tolerance values. Tolerance ranges are established in reference to commercially available injection molding machines. Where tolerance values are met, the machine is deemed functionally capable without fitted mold and materials.
- Cylinder temperature
- Injection pressure
- Screw rotating speed
- Clamping force build-up
- Clamping force reduction
- Clamping plate parallelism
Calibration add-ons from Netstal
In addition to the screw rotating speed, also decisive for the quality of injection molded parts is the exact positioning of the screw. By checking the injection position, we ensure that this quality requirement is also met. An important quality feature is the distribution of force in the columns.
We check and ensure that column forces are symmetrically distributed and consequently that the fundamental requirements for a durable machine are met.
