Prototyping a Volumetric Dosing Machine

Control System for a Volumetric Dosing Machine

When a client needed a control system for a volumetric dosing machine—designed to mix coloured plastic pellets into a hopper for an injection moulding process—they turned to us for a tailored solution!

Designing and building a PCB in-house

To meet the client’s needs, we designed and manufactured a custom control system, creating a tailored solution that allowed for accurate dosing and smooth operation. The PCB, the core of the system, was designed, etched, and produced in-house.

By handling the PCB production ourselves, we ensured:

The finished PCB control unit

The control system worked exactly as planned, delivering accurate and consistent dosing while fitting seamlessly into the client’s injection moulding process. It ran reliably and kept operations smooth and efficient.

 
By handling everything in-house, including the PCB, we kept the quality high and got the system delivered on time, ensuring the client stayed on track.
