Description
What is K-Face?
K-Face is an LCD screen output that displays the temperature on one channel to the machine operator. This alerts the operators as to when the mould is ready to be removed from the oven (or, in the case of an open-flame machine, when to turn off the gas) and when to exit the the cooler.
It also has one further intermediary alarm in the oven which can be used to tell the operator when to drop the second shot of material and one in the cooler which could be used to tell the operator when to turn the compressed air on, say for internal mould cooling. It is a self-contained box that can sit by the control panel.
