The Fontijne laboratory Platen Presses are being used
in the polymer processing, rubber, and composites
industry. The presses are utilized as sample preparation
equipment for: Quality control, Research and Materials
development.
Process pre-view
Fontijne Grotnes developed a new press control system, Lab Pro-View. One of
the main improvements of this new PC control system is the new developed
process pre-view. This process pre-view makes it possible to see directly what
has been programmed. Not only the values (temperature, pressure etc.) but also
the program commands, together with the actual press cycle predicted being
shown. Continuously keeping an overview of the entire process will lead to
reduced costs due to time and material savings: no trial and error. (Screen A)

Command recipe control
A distinguishing feature of Lab Pro-View is the command recipe control, based
on the former PC control system, Lab2000, which customers’ value positively.
This feature enables an easy, user friendly way of programming for both simple
and complex processes. Moreover this new PC control system will have an
extended HMI and Panel PC.
