Männer Molding Solutions | intelligate-p

intelliGate-p delivers the benefits of cavity pressure monitoring – without installing a sensor in the cavity.

The system provides highly accurate, real-time measurements of cavity and gate pressure throughout the injection molding process, delivering results comparable to those of conventional cavity pressure sensors.

intelliGate-p enables early detection of process deviations, supports stable and repeatable production, ensures consistent part quality, and helps reduce scrap and avoid costly downtime.

No impact on mold design

sensors are integrated into the hot runner system not in the mold.
Process monitoring
for multicavity applications

enabling detection of imbalance, short shots, and overpacked parts.
Process control via automatic switchover

based on a detected cavity pressure level.
Supports predictive maintenance

by detecting valve pin sticking or actuator seal wear through changes in valve pin movement behavior

Forget complex sensor technology in the cavities.

Simply replace the standard pin holder in your hot runner system with the new IntelliGate-p pin holder featuring an integrated pressure sensor – for reliable cavity pressure monitoring without sensors in the mold.

Upgrade and retrofit your existing Männer valve gate system

All Männer hot runner systems with PS 48.2 pneumatic actuation can be retrofitted. It can be easily installed into existing molds without requiring any design modifications.

Intelligate P, reliable cavity pressure data without mold changes

Simplify the Process, Enhance Control

Traditional cavity pressure sensing often adds unnecessary complexity to mold design and installation, requiring sensor bores, additional wiring, and precise machining that increase both cost and risk. Limited mold space can further compromise ideal sensor placement.

Because sensor positions vary from mold to mold, pressure data frequently needs mold-specific interpretation, making process transfer, benchmarking, and setup more time-consuming.

IntelliGate P removes this complexity by integrating the piezoelectric pressure sensing principle directly into the pin holder. This eliminates the need to install a sensor inside the mold and allows the system to be implemented using a standard screw connection in the pneumatic interface.

What You Can Expect with IntelliGate P

Ready for New Systems and Retrofit

IntelliGate P is designed for seamless integration in both new hot runner systems and retrofit applications. Existing PS 48.2 setups can often be upgraded without changing the pneumatic plate, reducing downtime and investment effort.
Fast, Service-Friendly Replacement

The modular design allows fast replacement of the piston, pin, sensor cable, and insulating plate. Maintenance becomes easier, faster, and less risky compared to conventional cavity sensor solutions.
Injection Monitoring with Matching Signal Behavior

During the injection phase, IntelliGate P reproduces the same pressure curve characteristics as conventional cavity pressure sensors, enabling reliable process monitoring without changing molding results.
Consistent Data Interpretation Across All Molds

Because the sensor position is always identical in the pin holder, signal interpretation remains consistent across molds. This simplifies benchmarking, process transfer, and setup optimization.
