The Power of Smart Mold Technology and Innovative Design

Smart molds are transforming the injection molding industry by integrating advanced sensor technology, and innovative designs like cube molds enhance efficiency and product quality.

These molds can incorporate sensors that monitor critical parameters—such as temperature, pressure, and material flow in real-time, providing instant feedback that allows for precise adjustments during each cycle.

Cube molds, with their rotating multi-face structure, further improve productivity by enabling simultaneous injection, cooling, and ejection processes, significantly reducing cycle times.

This combination of real-time data collection and optimized mold design ensures consistent quality across multiple cavities, enabling manufacturers to produce complex, multi-material, high-volume parts with greater accuracy and less waste.

Innovations in Smart Mold Technology

HACK MoldSense

HACK Mold Sense is an innovative technology designed to provide real-time monitoring and diagnostic capabilities within the injection molding process.

By integrating advanced acoustic sensors directly into the mold, Mold Sense captures sound waves generated during the molding cycle, which can reveal subtle process anomalies that are often undetectable by traditional sensors.

These acoustic signals offer valuable insights into mold health, material flow, and part quality, enabling operators to identify potential issues like incomplete fills, air traps, or early signs of mold damage.

FOBOHA STACK-TURNING MOLDS

FOBOHA STACK-TURNING MOLDS / CUBE MOLDS

Production of highly complex parts on a single machine

The FOBOHA stack-turning technology processes parts within the turning system at different levels. So, it is possible to inject parts on both levels in the same production step and eject the finished parts at the available station. The next turn (2 x 180° or 4 x 90°) moves the new substrates to the newly freed processing station. This process’s high variability offers higher production performance with significantly shorter cycles.

Advantages of the stack-turning technology:

  • Highly complex parts can be produced on a single machine
  • The clamping force of the machine can be halved
  • Cavities can be doubled
  • Production cycles are significantly shorter
  • Productivity can be doubled compared to conventional molding

Conclusion

Together, integrated sensors and designs like cube molds represent a leap forward in smart manufacturing, empowering industries to meet modern demands for precision, efficiency, and sustainability.

Future Trends in Smart Mold Technology

The adoption of smart mold technology is expected to accelerate as advancements in AI, machine learning, and IoT technologies continue to evolve.
