The software platform offers the latest CVS 22 version and enables interoperability with the Sacmi Computer Vision family of PVS systems. Focus on moulds The new IPS 300 can mount moulds with 24 cavities for 48mm necks or as many as 96 cavities for 30mm necks. Thanks to the nanopitch patent, co-developed with partner company MHT, the Sacmi range features the ability to increase productivity on small formats as it allows as many as 144 cavities on the IPS 400 and 128 on the IPS 300. Productivity The IPS 300 combines short lock-to-lock times with 2.1 s with the Cool+, the inside cooling system; The cooling system improves the thermal efficiency of the cooler, especially with thick-walled preforms. The userfriendly press interface simplifies the worker’s tasks, especially start-up and changeovers. All auxiliary units can be controlled remotely and, thanks to the new Smart Care packages, machine data can be linked to Sacmi servers to implement proactive scheduled maintenance services.
