The 19" touch screen provides easy operation with large soft-keys and intuitive colour and graphic design. The core of the new Theysohn extruder control system is a powerful, fanless, maintenance-free industrial PC. Communication between the TEC 4s and all drives, peripheral devices and the whole downstream equipment works through the efficient Profibus
