Pressure sensors have shortcomings.
The Algoryx production methodology is more closely aligned with strategic customer requirements than cavity pressure sensors. Your customer is not buying cavity pressure versus time profiles or integrals. Your customer wants to buy parts that meet specification.
Algoryx has not observed any correlation between cavity pressure sensor data and dimensions with high enough correlation coefficients to be usable to ensure dimensional compliance within specification. Algoryx’s observations are based on multiple studies done on different molds run by different Algoryx customers. There may be exceptions to this general observation.
If one elects to use cavity pressure sensors in production, then it is substantially cheaper to use one cavity pressure sensor in the one mold cavity containing the Predictor Dimension instead of in all cavities. In this context, Algoryx can be considered an enabling and complementary technology to cavity pressure sensors.

"Without Algoryx, we make tooling changes 6-7 times and end up right back where we started. With Algoryx, we make tooling changes only..."
