Plastics
Monitor plastic injection molds to assure that your part has cleared, and IR thermocouples are well suited for monitoring the temperature of plastic extrusions, either at the point of extrusion to monitor correct extrusion temperature, or after air cooling to monitor/control the cooling process prior to cutting to length. For forming plastics, radiant heat with an IRt/c is an excellent combination of heating method and control.
PRODUCTS USED
- IRt/c
- IRt/c.3X
- IRt/c.5
- Adjustable IRt/c's with slot spot optics are available for the optically challenged applications: Adjustable IRt/c's with slot spot optics
