Product overviewRimStar IQ is a PU (polyurethane) dosing machine designed for precise metering and improved process stability. The system integrates a modern Human Machine Interface (HMI) and embedded analytics (dataXplorer) to simplify operation and enable progressive digitalisation toward autonomous operation.
Key features- Digital-ready metering machine for PU dosing.
- New Human Machine Interface (HMI) for simplified operator control.
- Integrated dataXplorer analytics for machine and process insight.
- Designed to enhance process stability and support more autonomous production.
Highlights / New functions- Functions prepared for digitalisation and data-driven monitoring.
- Simplified machine and process control for less experienced operators.
- Architected as a step on the path to autonomous operation.
Advantages that make the difference- dataXplorer — integrated digital analysis tools for machine and process transparency.
- Process data — recording and evaluation of process data for quality assurance and traceability.
- Automatic adjustment — automatic compensation for wear and external influences to stabilise production.
Use cases- Industries: Automotive, and other reaction process machinery applications requiring precise PU metering.
Applications (selected automotive examples)- Integralschaum Elektrik — foaming tools and movement units for cable harness components; flexible configuration for stand form technology and rotary tables; quick tool changes.
- Steering wheel production — mould carriers, dosing and painting technology, handling and extraction systems.
- Center console and armrest backing — foaming tools and plant technology for textile backing or overfoaming carriers for subsequent laminating.
- Soft-foam applications — components for models and car seats.
