Direct sensors





These are used to measure mold cavity pressure in direct contact with the melt. Direct sensors are robust and easy to install.

Indirect sensors





These are used to measure mold cavity pressure by means of an ejector pin. Indirect sensors are mounted in the ejector plate and do not require any additional hole in the cavity wall.

Contactless 
sensors




These are intended for measuring the mold cavity pressure with a strain sensor. The sensor is positioned in the mold insert and does not leave any visible mark on the part surface.
