The Smart Molding Control (SMC) is an online, real-time quality and production monitoring system, which measures the cavity pressure in injection molds and controls the production. New generational product monitoring and automatic injection molding machine controlling is available with our pressure measurement system every day of the week for the 0 ppm scrap rate! SMC offers you a complete system that can be used with up to 8, 16, 32 or 64 pressure sensors.
If you want a measuring system which holds the important information about the mold in the mold socket, so you do not lose any of them while moving the mold, the Cavity Eye Smart Moulding Control is the best choice!
If you want an online, real-time quality and production monitoring system, which measures the cavity pressure in injection moulds and controls the production, moreover, creates the possibility for analysis and statistic reports from the measured data, choose Cavity Eye Smart Molding Control!

The main parts of the Cavity Eye SMC system are the Smart Measuring Plug (SMP) and the Smart Control Plug (SCP). These new generation Cavity Eye instruments are special, mobile industrial plugs, which are containing a measuring and controlling device with a microprocessor, so they can also operate independently from the system.
The Cavity Eye Smart Measuring Plug (SMP) is a special data processing unit, with the role of ensuring the communication with the injection molds equipped with Cavity Eye’s pressure cells. It receives and processes the pressure cell’s signals, then transmits the data to the Smart Control Plug through the central unit (PC and Switch). The memory reading/writing, the sensor signal processing and forwarding are also accomplished by the SMP device. The mold’s cavity pressure is measured by the pressure cells and the signals are received by the SMP, and the processed signals are forwarded to the software on the PC. There are two types SMP according to how many sensors you want to use in the system. The SMP8 is able to process data up to 8 sensors, while the SMP32 is the right choice up to 32 sensors. The SMP is the counterpart of the MPM devices.
The Smart Control Plug is communicating back and forth with the Injection Molding Machine with 24 V digital signals. The device receives the signals from the injection molding machine, processes and transmits them to the central unit. Furthermore, it is responsible for transforming the signals sent by the Cavity Eye system to 24V signals and forwarding them to the IMM. The device can control bad part sorting, detect the cycle start, stop the injection machine in case of an error and also can control nozzle valves of the mold.
The different SMC systems accessories are always the same. Only the type and the number of SMP devices are the difference. You can extend the number of measuring plugs or even change the type freely, thus you can use an already owned SMC system not just one, but any number of moulds.
