Application examples in the plastics industry

 
 
Sensors for the plastics industry

The machines and installations in the plastics industry are as diverse as the products themselves. An increasing degree of automation and the growing need for plastic articles turn this industry into a driving force for machine building and automation technology. It is thus all the more important to adapt the requirements for automation precisely to the technical needs in this field.
