Kistler’s ComoNeo process monitoring system supports users during the set-up phase and when recovering injection moulding processes that have already been successfully validated.
ComoNeoGUARD also offers reliable support with defining scrap boxes, and with avoiding loss of time when restoring a process (after a machine changeover, for example).

Practical assistance systems deliver optimal support
ComoNeoGUARD is a tool that generates and positions the monitoring boxes for good/bad evaluation itself – guiding users quickly and seamlessly to the scrap limits. The results define the evaluation types and the relevant limits. Due to this approach, parts can be monitored and segregated into good and bad with high precision – and pseudoscrap (i.e. ‘presumed’ scrap) is reduced.
Furthermore, this process monitoring system from Kistler provides support for the definition of the correct scrap limits, which eliminates the need for specific previous knowledge when setting up full process monitoring.
Simple user guidance
This automated method requires an existing established process with good parts. Taking this as the basis, ComoNeoGUARD selectively changes the machine parameters to trigger a new cavity pressure profile, with the result that the part's characteristics change. After this, the user can take measurements or perform an optical assessment to evaluate the produced parts, and then decide whether the relevant cavity pressure profile is good or bad.
Systematic changes make it possible to work through the process window within a short time and then to repeat the steps performed until sufficient information is available for automatic placement of the EOs (Evaluation Objects) to monitor the parts. Users themselves can decide when to discontinue EO evaluation. The more test cycles are completed, the more accurately the EOs can be placed.
