Netstal DSC3 110.240.9864 Komplett Controller Board Diskjet 600 Injection Molder

Netstal DSC3 110.240.9864 Komplett Controller Board Diskjet 600 Injection Molder

This is a Netstal DSC3 controller board, part number 110.240.9864, marked "komplett" (complete) on the PCB silkscreen. It was removed from a Steag Firstlight Unijet 60144 CD disc replication system that incorporated a Netstal Diskjet 600 injection molder. The board is a multi-layer PCB populated with numerous DIP ICs, resistor arrays, and two large parallel edge connectors used for inter-system communication within the injection molding control architecture.

Applications

The Netstal Diskjet 600 was a high-speed injection molding system purpose-built for polycarbonate CD and DVD disc replication, widely deployed in optical media manufacturing plants from the late 1980s through the 2000s. Controller boards like this DSC3 module served as the embedded logic and process-control backbone of the Diskjet platform, handling machine sequencing, drive coordination, and communication between the molding cell's subsystems. The Steag Firstlight Unijet 60144 was an integrated CD replication line that combined injection molding, metallization, and lacquering stations — the Netstal Diskjet 600 was the injection molding cell at its core. Spare and replacement controller boards for these systems are sought by facilities still operating legacy Netstal Diskjet equipment, as well as by maintenance engineers keeping older optical disc production lines running. With the decline of physical media manufacturing, these boards are increasingly hard to source new, making working pull-outs from decommissioned systems a practical repair resource.
