Power it
The machine splits here
Procon rectangular connectors carry power and control through one hood. Sections ship separately; on the customer's floor you mate the inserts, snap the hood and energize. Washdown versions to IP68, so the panel that gets sprayed every shift keeps its connector. Built in Somerset, New Jersey.
Connect, disconnect, lock out: one part
The receptacle and the switch are one unit on the frame: the circuit cannot be made or broken under load, and the handle takes a lock. The disconnect ships with the machine, IP67 where the water hits. Series II pin and sleeve, 20 to 100 A at 125 to 480 V, UL Listed and CSA Certified together.
The heater relay that reports its own state
Solid state relays for barrel, mold, oven and sealing-bar zones, 4 to 125 A single and three phase, with relays and plug-on modules that report mains, load and protection status. The PLC knows it commanded the output; the relay knows whether current flowed. A broken element is flagged before a shift of parts is boxed.
Control power that rides through the dip
A control-voltage supply with the battery charger and the changeover built in and Ethernet reporting to the controller, so a mains dip is a logged event, not a restart. Beside it, DIN-rail supplies from 120 to 480 W and the EFC electronic fuse, four protected 24 V channels in one module. From the shop that builds 50 kW rail converters.
Control it
One logic stack, relay to drive
iSmart smart relays and XGB PLCs with license-free programming, Jaguar drives from compact to heavy frames, contactors and motor circuit breakers beside them, iView HMIs on the door. One platform your customer's maintenance team can support, same-day dispatch from US stock, up to 5-year warranty on electromechanical components.
The face of the machine, from a quantity of one
InduSmart panel PCs from 10.1 to 21.5 inches, IP65 front, fanless, Windows or Linux. The BlackLine adds six capacitive keys and an NFC reader below the display, an E-stop in the panel as an option and your logo printed, from a quantity of one, with seven years of form-fit-function availability. Custom front panels, capacitive and optical switches for the rest of the door.
Prove it
Ethernet inside your own product
Board-level switching the size of a paperclip, designed into the enclosure instead of bolted on. One OEM built it into a flow controller for wafer-fab gas delivery: 113,000 power cycles, zero failures, and a ten-year availability commitment behind the part number.
The data port, as a part number
Remote I/O presents states, counts and temperatures as Modbus TCP devices the customer's own software polls. The machine ships with a data interface their IT already understands, and the controller you validated is never touched.
Add the port, keep the controller
The controller you already ship has an RS-232 or RS-485 port. An Ethernet-to-serial unit puts it on the customer's network and the software still sees the same COM port, so nothing in the control code changes. Compact unmanaged and PoE switches on the same DIN rail, one uplink out of the machine.
Energy per cycle, measured in the panel
A PRO Series instrument in the machine panel: a Class 0.2S revenue meter and a Class A Edition 3.1 power quality analyzer in one device. The kWh per cycle your customer asks for is measured, not modeled, and the sag that tripped the machine at shift change has a time and a depth on file, on the machine.
Foundation
Pre-terminated cables through a sealed wall
KDS split cable entry: the cable goes through the frame with its connector on, the wave-cut seal closes around it, and the frame holds IP66. UL Recognized, one frame in place of a row of glands, seals swapped from outside.
Brace conduit and fittings that seal
The Brace system: plastic conduit with fittings that lock and seal at the enclosure, plus glands including EMC versions and junction boxes, so the drop enters sealed and the shield lands where it should.
