A closed loop blank mold temperature control system and method for use in the operation of an I.S. machine are disclosed for automatically adjusting machine timing to maintain desired blank mold temperature/heat extraction. Mold temperatures are measured, and used to automatically control the supply of coolant air to the blank molds. The temperature of the internal surface of the halves of a blank mold is determined, and provides a resultant temperature measurement (114). A temperature input (118) indicates a desired setpoint temperature at which the blank mold should be maintained. A monitoring feedback system (120, 122) has as inputs the temperature input (118) and the temperature measurement (116) and provides an output to operate a controller (124). The controller provides a cooling duration output to operate a valve arrangement to deliver coolant to the blank mold halves in a manner directed to achieving the desired temperature. |
