Development of Automated Control System for Laboratory Reactoplast Casting Unit

This paper presents the development and implementation of an automated control system for the technological process of casting reactoplastic products in a laboratory environment. The primary objective is to design an integrated control system and a comprehensive software suite to manage process parameters, enabling the use of various grades of reactoplastics efficiently. The development process involved creating a detailed electrical schematic and an operational algorithm for the equipment. Essential components were meticulously selected to construct a laboratory prototype, leading to the establishment of a reliable automated control system. Additionally, a sophisticated software suite was developed and registered with Rospatent, ensuring intellectual property protection. Extensive experimental casting trials were conducted, resulting in high-quality plastic part samples that demonstrate the system's effectiveness. The proposed system showcases significant advancements in improving the quality and efficiency of small-batch production of plastic components, highlighting its potential for broader industrial applications.
