KePlast - The optimized control solution for plastics machinery
With KePlast, Keba offers an optimized control platform that has been especially designed for any type of plastic injection moulding machine. It provides basic solutions for standard equipment as well as sophisticated versions for high-end machines.
KePlast systems are characterised by the fact that whatever the machine type or application, an ideal product can be found. Their scalability is not only limited to the control hardware with regard to CPU performance, I/O capacity, modularity and extension possibilities. It also applies to the size of the panel, the numbers of keys and individual features.
The comprehensive nature of KePlast control solutions allows any system to be operated by only a single application. This means that - should system performance demands increase - only the hardware needs to be exchanged; the existing software can remain the same.
One application can be employed for all machines of a particular manufacturer, which greatly reduces customer expenditure. The high costs related to programming can be saved and a faster time-to-market is achieved.
KePlast ServiceNet - The new service & support philosophy for easy and secure remote control of IMMs
ServiceNet from KEBA is a brand new plug&play solution for operating and monitoring injection moulding machines remotely. Worldwide fast access to process data for service & support issues as well as for easy diagnostics are possible the same way as it would be by operating the IMM’s screen directly on site.
The clou is that there is no need for modifying or changing anything in the company’s IT network, on the firewall or regarding the internet connection. There isn’t any security risk – whether for the company’s IT network nor for the IMM itself. Communication happens via a fast wireless internet connection using newest market standards. As an additional key feature a smartphone with all its built-in functionalities can be homogenously integrated into the concept.
ServiceNet’s combination of secure remote access and direct communication possibilities between the machine’s operator and a service technician results in a powerful and easy to use global service & support solution for IMMs.
KePlast i1000 V-IMM - The modern operation and control solution for vertical IMMs
Now KEBA’s proven KePlast i1000 control solution for cost-efficient automation of IMMs is available for vertical injection moulding machines, too.
The tailor-made neutrally designed operation panels of KePlast i1000 V-IMM offer full support for vertical machine arrangement and can be customized easily.
European brand quality is provided; all the powerful functions of standard KePlast i1000 like turntable and slide table control as well as a light curtain are available.
KePlast EasyNet 2.0 - The control center software solution for IMM monitoring
When operating several injection moulding machines at one manufacturing location, concentrating all the production data in one control center will simplify production monitoring. That can be done easily with EasyNet from Keba.
No matter if process monitoring, long-term statistics and monitoring of the machine’s productivity is necessary, the most efficient solution always will be EasyNet. The new, updated version 2.0 offers now possibility for user-specific adjustments and customizable features.
Upgraded GUI for KePlast i1000 - Cost-efficient IMM automation solution now with premium user interface
The recent update of cost-efficient KePlast i1000 solution contains the same European brand quality user interface as advanced KePlast i2000. Key benefits are a straight-forward, user-friendly design with improved menu navigation and premium GUI. Information is displayed clearly arranged and significant. Both, the design of the operation panel itself and the screen design are all of a piece.
