Various parameters can be set on the core pull unit, such as the switch-on and switch-off point for cooling, time delays for the respective limit switches, and many more. Due to the AHP special purpose valves with electric operation and hand lever operation, the drives can be very reliably controlled electrically in automatic mode. The connection to the injection molding machine, for example, is handled by a Hirschmann connector. In manual mode, the drives with a hand lever valve can be controlled very precisely and sensitively. This makes it possible to use it both as a core pull unit and as a test and commissioning unit.
