A large number of machine makers leverage commercial off-the-shelf products to find time-efficient, low-effort solutions for the development of a human machine interface (HMI). For instance, in injection molding machines, a HMI is used to regulate temperature, pressure, and speed parameters of injection molding processes, as to enable such equipment to mass produce high-quality components.
Challenges of building a HMI for injection molding machines:
EMI
An injection molding machine integrates mechatronics subsystems that generate noises. It is important for the HMI to be equipped with electromagnetic resistance to faithfully receive and deliver touch commands to a machine controller.
Heat
The HMI mostly has to operate in hot environments due in part to the high temperatures involved in injection molding, ranging from 120°C to 320°C depending on the plastic materials used. Even though mold temperatures are relatively lower, they can reach up to 100°C.
Customization
Finding an effective solution on the market might resemble looking for a needle in a haystack, yet custom indicator lights are required for application-specific scenarios.
