Setup Xpert

The Setup Xpert Provides an intuitive, systematic, and documentable method for establishing the combination of process parameters that produce good molded parts. 

The Optimization Xpert Automated design of experiments that builds on the foundation established in Setup Xpert and allows users to further optimize the combination of processing parameters to determine a robust good parts processing window. 

MPX functionality is arranged into three modules, the first of which is the Setup Xpert, a module that allows users to perform a variety of injection-velocity- and pressure-phase-related setup routines to fix certain defects, such as short shots, flash, burn marks, sink marks, etc. The objective of Setup Xpert is to achieve one good molded part with no defects. The basic process is that a user molds a part, then provides feedback to the MPX system regarding molded part quality. The MPX system then processes this feedback along with data being collected from the machine and (if necessary) determines a process change that will improve the result. 

This module, called Setup Xpert, enables systematic mold setup independent of operator and location. Mold setup can be done via... 

The Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX ) process automation and control system decreases mold setup time, cycle time, and scrap, and improves molded part quality and labor productivity. Unlike traditional trial-and-error methods, MPX tools provide a consistent and systematic method for improving and optimizing the molding process. 

Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX) process automation and control technology provides machine operators with an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use tool for the setup, optimization, and control of the IM process. Finally, a tool exists that allows a less-experienced operator to set up molds, optimize the process, and control production. 

These companies require tools that are intuitive, systematic, document-able, and globally supported to remain competitive on a global scale. Moldflow s Manufacturing Solutions products directly address these needs. The Plastics Xpert system applies and automates the process of scientific molding to decrease mold setup time, cycle time, and scrap,...
