The Progressive Round Mold Counter, developed by Dongguan Tianying Co., Ltd.—a leading China-based manufacturer of industrial mold accessories—is a cutting-edge device engineered to revolutionize mould monitoring. Designed for precision, durability, and seamless integration, this counter accurately tracks cycle counts in progressive molds, injection molds, and stamping tools, enabling manufacturers to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance. By replacing estimated cycle-based maintenance with data-driven scheduling, it minimizes downtime, extends mould lifespan, and enhances overall production efficiency. Its compact round design and robust build make it ideal for harsh manufacturing environments, solidifying its role as a critical tool for modern industrial operations.

Precision Cycle Tracking
At its core, the counter leverages advanced magnetic or mechanical sensors to detect mould opening and closing motions with unmatched accuracy. Even at high speeds—up to 200 cycles per minute—it maintains a 99.9% precision rate, ensuring reliable data for critical maintenance decisions. Its non-volatile memory stores cumulative cycle counts indefinitely, preserving data through power failures to avoid costly rework or guesswork.
Compact & Durable Design
With an 80mm diameter housing, the counter fits seamlessly into tight mould spaces, eliminating interference with moving parts. Its IP67-rated aluminum alloy casing withstands harsh factory conditions, including dust, water splashes, and temperature fluctuations from -10°C to 70°C. The round shape minimizes snagging on mould components, reducing wear and tear during operation.
Intuitive Monitoring & Alerts
The high-contrast LCD display provides real-time visibility into two key metrics: current cycle count and user-set maintenance thresholds. When the count hits a predefined limit (e.g., 100,000 cycles), a bright red LED alarm triggers, prompting timely inspections or part replacements—preventing unexpected breakdowns and maintaining consistent product quality.
Hassle-Free Installation
Designed for versatility, the counter comes with a universal mounting bracket that adjusts 360°, fitting most mould types (injection, stamping, blow molding, and die casting). A 2m shielded cable connects the sensor to the counter unit, ensuring stable performance in noisy industrial environments, while plug-and-play compatibility with 24V DC power systems simplifies setup.
Smart Connectivity Options
For manufacturers seeking end-to-end automation, optional models include an RS-485 port, enabling integration with PLCs or factory automation systems. This allows remote monitoring via SCADA software, while USB data export facilitates in-depth analysis of mould performance trends—empowering data-driven process optimization.
Injection Molding
Tracks shot counts in plastic injection molds to schedule cavity cleaning, ejector pin lubrication, and hot runner maintenance. By aligning upkeep with actual cycle data, it reduces unnecessary downtime and ensures consistent part quality.
Progressive Stamping
Monitors blanking, piercing, and forming cycles in metal stamping dies, detecting early signs of wear (e.g., burrs, misalignments) before they affect production. This proactive approach minimizes scrap and extends die lifespan.
Blow Molding
Records parison injection cycles to optimize cooling times and identify wear in parison molds. By flagging maintenance needs based on real usage, it enhances efficiency in bottle, container, and hollow-part production.
Die Casting
Counts die opening/closing cycles in aluminum die-casting tools, helping manufacturers track wear patterns in sprue bushings and core pins. This ensures timely replacements, reducing defects and production delays.
Ideal for manufacturers prioritizing precision, reliability, and operational efficiency, the Progressive Round Mold Counter from Tianying delivers actionable insights that transform mould monitoring from a reactive task to a strategic advantage.
