Moldflow Releases Moldflow Manufacturing Solutions 2.0
Moldflow Corporation announced the release of Moldflow Manufacturing SolutionsT (MMST ) 2.0. MMS 2.0 features numerous enhancements including new process monitoring capabilities for multi-barrel injection molding equipment and a new hybrid display for process analysis and control for the metal die cast market.
Moldflow Manufacturing Solutions provide manufacturers the tools they need to streamline production processes and provides manufacturing management visibility to the factory floor and critical production information to allow them to make real-time business decisions. The MMS 2.0 product suite represents the integration of a series of applications powered by Moldflow Plastics Xpert® (MPX®) and Moldflow Shotscope® technologies.
Multi-material molding continues to gain popularity in the automotive (e.g. taillight lenses with multiple colors) and consumer good industries (e.g. personal care, power tools and sporting goods with rubber grips). MMS 2.0 now supports the ability to schedule, manage and monitor these advanced multi-barrel injection molding machines.
Further enhancements to MMS 2.0 include tracking of machine related labor activities by individual operator such as data entry for scrap, downtime for flash removal, quality inspections or packaging of components, as well as for changes to mold cavitation and material lot control numbers.
The metal die cast market has its own unique set of criteria for process monitoring. To better serve it, MMS 2.0 features a new position-based display format for process analysis and control. The hybrid display shows velocity and pressure as a function of position with a switch over to a time-based display in mid-cycle.
