U-CON / Typical Applications / Gravimetric Blenders (injection molding)

Many applications where gravimetric blenders are used (such as injection molding) need to adhere to tight requirements around the use of material, accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. Manufacturers can see huge ROI on control system and data collection applications when they can use less material to make the correct number of widgets with the least amount of waste. Most blender controllers include support for some type of serial (RS232/RS485) or TCP/IP based communications. Even if your controller supports a common protocol like Modbus, you may still want to use U-CON to bring other sensors and devices into the control system of your blending application.
