 New Product Solution - SENTINEL
 A PPT VISION Mold Protection Solution

SENTINEL is a comprehensive mold protection and inspection solution by PPT VISION that detects molding process problems and prevent expensive crashes. SENTINEL is powered by a customized software solution that is designed to specifically address the needs of the injection molding community, in conjunction with our IMPACT series of intelligent cameras. This turn-key solution supports up to four cameras and comes with a pre-configured, step by step, user friendly software application. The solution is designed to protect your tooling through every step of the molding process from flow detection, part ejection, and pin retraction, to insert position verification. The SENTINEL Mold Protection Solution consists of one or more IMPACT cameras, lighting, lenses, I/O modules, camera and lighting mounts, and cabling. The optional portable workstation includes an industrial PC monitor, keyboard and mouse. Click on the link below to read a case study and see how SENTINEL provides productivity benefits at Dickten Masch Plastics in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where it is used to check rubber insulated electrical connectors in automobiles for short shots before the parts are ejected from the mold. For more information about SENTINEL, contact your designated PPT VISION Sales Manager or visit www.pptvision.com/products_sentinel.html.
