4�1�1�2� Measurement procedure
1. After the sensors have been mounted and their
mounting position has been checked with the
Sensormate app, perform 3 dry cycles (without
injection), only closing and opening the press. This
procedure allows the sensors to stabilize and adapt
to the surface where they are mounted.
Dry cycle: consists of closing the press completely
and opening it afterwards, without any intermediate
step. The term "dry" derives from Injection mol-
ding, where this step is performed without injecting
plastics in the mold.
2. Open the press.

tions > Clamping and set the operator name, the
machine name, the diameter of the tie bar, the ac-
cepted tolerance and finally the Young's modulus
of the tie bar material.
Tolerance: maximum allowed deviation between a
tie bar value and the average of all the tie bars.
Young's modulus: depends on the material the tie
bar is made of. It is used to convert a measurement
from strain units to force units.
