Finally, a control package that doesn't cost more than the machine!

Unfortunately, many molders face the situation where outdated control systems require them to replace the whole machine, or buy cheap controls that don't do enough, not any more.

The SmartSet(TM) controls are the smartest way to get the most control for the least amount of money. Features like linear positioning and closed loop process control, normally found only on higher priced control systems, are available with SmartSet controls.

Now you can place new controls on your machine for money that's probably in your maintenance budget! And these are not generic PLC's that do not control all the variables you desire. The SmartSet(TM) will replace all your relay logic, timers, counters, function switches, and temperature controls, you name it (for less than $3000 per machine).* For a little more, you can add higher end functions like closed loop injection process control. Payback is lighting fast. And, with the SmartSoft(TM) suite of Windows(R) based programming tools, you can point and click your way to integrating your own new system to your machine, at no extra cost.

* Don't worry, this fine print has good news: For $2,950, the SmartSet Genius model provides 32 digital inputs and 32 digital outputs, PID barrel temps with auto-tuning, sequence logic, timers, counters, funtion switches, linear positioning, analog outputs for proportional valves, and the complete set of SmartSoft programming tools for the screens and ladder logic.

As outrageous as it seems, for the price of a typical 200 ton injection molding machine, you can put new SmartSet controls on 35 machines.
