Plymouth Meeting, PA; March 2004 – To eliminate the need to own and maintain separate hot runner temperature controllers, Athena Controls, Inc. (Athena) has combined the dual output capacity of 240 Vac and 18-45 Vac with the advanced performance of either the Series RMC or RMB controller module configuration in one, convenient mainframe package. The Series SY Low-Voltage (Dual-Voltage) Hot Runner Temperature Control System (Series SY) is the perfect solution for injection molders who require precise control over hot runner applications using 240 Vac manifolds with 18-45 Vac injection nozzles.
The Series SY comes loaded with control and safety features. "There is a special safety interlock that prevents the insertion of a low voltage Vac control module in a 240 Vac mainframe slot," said Doug Crowell, Hot Runner Systems Product Manager. "Advanced diagnostics can also automatically inform the user of fault conditions, including open thermocouple, shorted thermocouple, reversed thermocouple, open heater, and high and low process temperature," he added.
The Series SY Dual-Voltage Hot Runner System includes a mainframe cabinet with fused circuit breaker/disconnect, step-down transformer and floor stand. The Series SY is available in either 4-zone or 8-zone sizes with an optional current-voltage monitor. The entire system may be ordered in CE, non-CE, or U.S. market configurations. A wide range of accessories and control modules are available to customize your system. Controller modules, mold connectors, terminal boxes, and combination cables must be ordered separately. More information on the Series SY is available online at: http://www.athenacontrols.com/pdf/catalog/sy.pdf.
