GSC2 Features
Control
ADVANCED SEQUENTIAL MOLDING PERFORMANCE
The INCOE SoftGate® system is an enhanced feature that precisely controls the opening phase of the hydraulic valve
pin. This allows for the “gradual and controlled” flow of plastic into the cavity reducing or eliminating the negative effects
of blemishes, and weld lines that can occur with uncontrolled plastic flow.
DESIGN
a) Control module in the hydraulic circuit
b) Valve pin and tip insert
c) Valve pin position
d) Timer for recording pin open time
FUNCTIONS
I Precise control of valve pin opening time
I Each valve independently adjustable
FEATURES
I Valve pin velocity control for hydraulic gate systems
I Adaptable to DF Gold 12, 18, 22 and 25 series
BENEFITS
I Controlled plastic flow at each gate
I Reduced pressure peaks during valve gate opening
I Prevent hesitation marks during sequential injection molding
I High-quality molding surfaces
I Easily retrofitted to your existing INCOE hydraulic valve gate system
I Simple operation
