Unit Overview
The Innovator Plus System is designed to make your production more efficient and cost effective
through a state-of-the-art programmable logic controller (PLC) controlled injection system. The
unit’s controls can process large shot of hundreds of pounds or as small as 5 ccs. The Innovator
Plus System can be used for various applications, including:
Polyester
Vinyl ester
Epoxy
Urethane
The Innovator Plus System uses a touch screen and manual switches/push buttons for operation.
The panel mounted push buttons are used for actual operation of the machine, while the human-
machine interface (HMI), or touch screen, is most commonly used to monitor machine status
and manage recipes. Although there are some controls on the touch screen, they are generally
only used in the case of a mechanical push button failure.
Once the machine has been set up and calibrated, operation is very simple. Choose a recipe from
the HMI or scan a tag or barcode using the optional RFID/Barcode reader system. When the
corresponding recipe is loaded, the machine will go into a ready state; push the start button and
the injection cycle begins.
For detailed information regarding the Innovator Plus controls, refer to the Innovator Plus
Control Box component manual.
Below helps identify the main components and controls the operator needs to know for proper
operation for the unit.
