Smart injection moulds start with the right sensors

With the right electrical components, you can lay the foundations for reliable mould monitoring and safe, efficient production. Discover our wide range of products – from proximity and limit switches to magnetic proximity sensors, thermocouples and cavity pressure sensors. In addition, we offer a range of suitable cables and other accessories. This ensures you receive components that are perfectly aligned and specifically designed to meet the requirements of mould making.

The full range of electrical components at a glance.

Here you will find a clear overview of our sensors and limit switches for the reliable monitoring and protection of your moulds.

Everything you need for reliable mould monitoring

Large selection & continuous availability from stock

From sensors to cables and push-in connections, through to the appropriate logic distributors. Thanks to our high availability from stock, you can obtain new and spare parts quickly and easily. This provides planning certainty and reduces downtimes.

Plug & Play compatible system solutions

Plug-and-play system solutions simplify the design, commissioning and maintenance of your moulds considerably. Clearly laid-out connection options reduce the risk of wiring and connection errors.

Sensor technology tailored to mould making

Our sensor technology is perfectly aligned with the requirements of mould making. High-quality, durable components ensure reliable processes, minimise mould damage and – depending on the product – have temperature resistance of up to 200 °C.

By using components for mould monitoring, we have been able to improve process stability, reliably monitor the conditions in the mould and reduce unplanned machine downtimes.

End position monitoring & position sensing

Limit switches and inductive sensors enable the reliable monitoring of end positions and the positions of moving mould components. While mechanical limit switches are activated by direct contact, inductive sensors detect metal components without contact and are therefore wear-free. In this way they improve process safety, prevent positioning errors and ensure reliable, automated operation of the mould.

Temperature monitoring

Precise temperature monitoring is crucial for consistently high component quality and cost-effective processes. Meusburger thermocouples operate on the tried and trusted thermocouple principle, meeting the highest accuracy class (Class 1), and deliver reliable measured values even under demanding conditions. They protect against overheating, enable precise temperature monitoring and control, and therefore promote uniform mould temperature regulation and extend the service life of the mould by reducing wear.

Suitable electrical connections

Coordinated cable systems and logic distributors for easy signal bundling ensure rapid integration and reliable connection of the sensors. Pre-assembled cables reduce the amount of wiring required, simplify installation and ensure reliable signal transmission. In this way, they help to ensure efficient integration and a high level of process safety in mould operations.

Cavity pressure monitoring

The cavity pressure is an important parameter in process monitoring in injection moulding. Pressure sensors are therefore indispensable for comprehensive mould monitoring: The use of high-quality sensors supports optimal process stability and sustainably increases part quality.

The range includes types for direct and indirect measurement as well as suitable mounting accessories and connection technology – as usual available from stock with simple CAD data download, including installation spaces.

How does cavity pressure measurement work in injection moulding? Learn about the functional principle of piezoelectric sensors and discover in our blog post when direct or indirect pressure measurement is the right choice. For more control and increased efficiency.
