Summary

AVID introduces the AVBIS-4P: a modular measurement package for preforms that incorporates the capabilities and simplicity of the AVBIS-M system into a fully automated preform testing platform. The AVBIS-4P replaces the AVBIS3000P in the AVID product line; the system retains its predecessor’s flexibility and precision, while reducing cycle time via the integration of a cartesian work envelope and introducing capability such as a cavity number reading (OCR) and preform thickness.

 

AVBIS-4P is designed for use by untrained users; preforms are loaded into a slotted tray. The user selects the preform program from the part library, and indicates the number of preforms to be run. The operator can isolate any blocked-off or unused cavity in the mold that should not be tested. On screen pass/fail indicators allow operators to review data in real-time while preforms are measured.

​​

AVBIS-4P is ideal for manufacturers with frequent mold change and start-up qualifications. The consistent measurement technique of the AVBIS-4P allows customers to monitor, adjust and control production processes when data is sent to SPC software.
