• From 10 points up to 400 points parison profile

• Simple to install and easy-to-use for any operator

• The number of analog and digital markers equal to the profile points

• Customizable software and hardware architectures

• Ability to easily add open-loop control for hydraulic and electric blow pin velocity and positioning, and temperature, due to modularity of controller

• Fully-featured menu

• Next generation equipment with TFT color LCD for an easy data type identification

• Multilanguage support (Asian and European languages)
