Full control on your production
Caracol’s extruders are offered with several systems that ensure productivity and efficiency of the machine. This includes automatic feedstock of material with the drying and feeding systems, layer cooling unit, anti-collision system, as well as control on all aspects such as temperature, melt flow and extrusion speed.
One control, many solutions
For its industrial line extruders Caracol has developed an Automation and Control unit to achieve precise control and high flexibility. Manage both High Flexibility and High Flow extruders interchangeably, adapting your Heron AM platform to different applications. The extruders and process parameters can be managed seamlessly with a user-friendly HMI for quick side-machine operations. The centralized Control Unit is suitable for the use of multiple end-effectors through a plug-and-play logic.
Cutting-edge 3D printed applications
