Cost control

• Predictable costs instead of emergency call-outs.
• Preventive measures avoid major damage and costlier failures.

Safety and compliance

• Inspection of safety-critical parts and functions.
• Preserved machine functionality over the long term.

Operational reliability

• Shorter planned downtime.
• Smoother production and delivery planning.

care inspection

• Quick safety check with checklist.
• Documented findings and recommendations.

care compact

• Functional tests and basic measurements.
• Parallelism, injection and drive checks.

care complete

• Measurements plus adjustments/optimizations.
• Calibration and fine-tuning of parameters.

care proactive

• Advanced diagnostics: screw ultrasound, oil sampling.
• Tie-bar strain measurement, TC sensors.

Note: “proactive” is typically combined with a package that includes adjustments (e.g., complete).

care select

• Individually selected activities as needed.
• Combine measurements and optimizations.

care robot

• Robot inspection and function check.
• Documentation of the as-is condition.

Results summary

• Unplanned downtime reduced to rare incidents with planned service windows.
• More stable cycle and more accurate clamp force after motion calibration and cylinder heating optimization.
• Better part quality: fewer parameter corrections and rework after start-up.
• Transparent machine condition thanks to detailed documentation and component-level findings.
• Predictable maintenance costs and simpler capacity planning.

Indicators – before vs. after

Indicator	Before	After	Note
Equipment availability	Frequent short stops and ad-hoc service calls	Planned service windows; fewer incidents	Aligned with the production schedule
Process stability	Cycle time and clamp force fluctuations	Uniform cycle after calibrations	Plate parallelism and drive checks
Product quality	Occasional parameter changes and rework	Stable parameters; fewer changes	Fine-tuning of pressure/speed
Cost planning	Unplanned expenses for emergency interventions	Predictable costs per maintenance plan	Recommended replacement plan for wear parts
Condition visibility	Fragmented records	Complete report with recommendations	Documentation per machine/component

Note: Exact figures vary per machine and load; the above summarizes observed changes after inspection, measurements and adjustments.

Activities performed

• Inspection of safety-critical parts and function checks.
• Measurements: function test, plate parallelism, injection and drive.
• Adjustments and optimizations: cylinder heating, pressure and speed; motion calibration.
• Advanced diagnostics (as needed and available): oil sample, screw ultrasound, tie-bar strain, TC sensors.
• Condition report and recommendations for next service steps and replacements.
