ETACONTROL ®

EtaControl ® reduces hunger for energy of injection moulding machines

The EtaControl® technology from ONI, a further development of the ONI machine optimization system developed about 30 years ago, is an ideal approach to solving the problem of energy costs effectively and quickly for plastics processors.

At the heart of this technology is a controlled oil flow management system that automatically adapts to the energy requirements of the machine in the cycle sequence and the respective moulded part as required. In addition to intelligent control based on Siemens S7 control technology, other hardware components such as frequency converters, soft starters, bypass switches, du/dt or sinusoidal filters are individually adapted to the respective machine.

In a broad field application at ONI customers, with a wide range of moulded parts and machines, power consumption reductions of up to 53% were achieved on injection moulding machines! On average, the approx. 1,600 machines that have been equipped with this technology to date have achieved a power savings rate of 36% ... while maintaining the same cycle time and product quality. A special advantage of EtaControl® technology is that the full performance spectrum of the injection moulding machine can be called up at any time.
