Eurotherm/Barber-Colman’s MACO® control systems are specifically designed to save plastic OEMs and producers time and money. They are based on a revolutionary building block architecture that is designed to adapt to the ever changing needs of the plastics industry. The result is an open and scalable system that contains four decades of injection, extrusion and blow molding knowledge.
MACO is a complete family of control products – operator stations, application specific I/O blocks (ASBs), racks, terminal I/O blocks (TBs) and other plastic machinery control components. Operator stations, ASBs and TBs can be networked to form an overall control scheme. Applied as a total machine controller, or as an individual component, MACO creates a system that meets your needs perfectly today, and whose adaptability ensures a perfect fit in the future.
