One visualisation – one operation: Despite its size, the handy VARIO turns out to be a highly user-friendly, efficient hot runner control device, thanks to its display that can be swiveled up and down. Two desk devices with up to 32 zones can be combined with each other via the master-slave function and controlled per touch panel through just one device. In addition, connecting further devices, including needle valve-control and pressure measurement system, is possible via standard Ethernet connection. The VARIO with microcontroller control meets the highest requirements for the process reliability of your plastic manufacture while remaining as small and handy as possible. A further step towards the future is the linkage of all hot runner controllers to a central mould server within your company network or via OPC/UA.

The Michel Vario-Tisch is a flexible modular system of a coupling station that enables all expansions and modifications in the future. ‍ In total, there are 10 Michel Vario-Tisch frames that are welded and equipped and are therefore delivered ready for installation. Brackets for transport and for later extensions (cover plates, coding brackets) are laser-cut into the frame. ‍ All tables have a uniform height and can therefore be positioned next to each other and one behind the other without changing the operating height. The center distance is the same across all frames, so the Michel Vario-Tisch can be extended in width as required by adding more frames. As standard, the Michel Vario-Tisch has two infeed levels and can be equipped with diameters of 40.0 / 45.0 / 50.0 / 60.3 mm in one frame – in all materials. This means that materials and pipes can be easily converted and rearranged afterwards with the help of the special locking suspension system. Both levels can also be connected to each other using Y-pieces. Panels, platforms and other attachments are completely freely configurable. Basically, a Michel Vario-Tisch coupling station can be configured and requested in a very short time. Dimensions can already be taken into account during the planning phase.
