NDC Introduces New Automatic Profile Control Electronics For Extrusion Processes

IRWINDALE, CA, March 07, 2006 – (www.ndcinfrared.com) NDC Infrared Engineering has just released a newly designed electronics package to control auto-profile capable extrusion dies.

The new hardware provides full backwards software compatibility with NDC’s previous APC control cabinets, so that profile control upgrades can easily be made to any legacy NDC system. The new controller uses standard Opto-22 electronics with no special modifications. Communications are made easy via RS-232, RS-422 or Ethernet, as appropriate, to the NDC gauging system for complete flexibility.

The APC Box is packaged in a standard cabinet that can house up to 128 bolts. Packages are available to manage dies with 32, 48, 64, 96, or 128 die bolts, and larger dies are easily accommodated by mounting a pair (or more) of control boxes in tandem under a single controller. Using this flexible expansion strategy, even the largest extrusion dies can be accommodated and controlled.

NDC’s new APC Control Cabinet is available immediately.
