A customer asked the question, “Why does the End of Cavity #High curve always come up with a smaller fill time number than End of Cavity #Low? It seems backwards.” (these are Process Time / Cavity Fill values). Recall from tip #23 that the eDART™ creates...

I have had some recent requests to distribute some of the formulas that the eDART™ uses to calculate summary values and some statistics. This week several have come in regarding the summary type “Balance”.Note: In the following formulas the slash ( / ) separates type...

You may recall that we explained “phantom” curves in the eDART™ in tip #23. These are the curves ending with the cavity identifiers #Avg, #High, #Low and #Rng. At any instant in time the value of these curves is the average, high, low or range of all curves at a...

In tip #162 we showed how alarms can be reduced from 32 to just 2. However this will not detect a sensor being disconnected. To do that you need to add some “dummy” alarms that will go to “Warning” when a sensor is missing.The eDART’s™...

If your molds have pressure sensors in 8 or more cavities you will find that adding alarms will create a long list. This is painful to see on the screen and to maintain.When a mold is reasonably well balanced you can often reduce the number of alarms by using just the...
