Estudios Termográficos

Infrared thermography is a technique that can be used both in the plastics industry for process optimization and quality improvement, as well as in the development of new tooling.

In the thermoplastic injection process, through thermographic images of freshly injected parts still in the mold or just extracted, or on the mold's surface itself, extensive information about the transformation process can be obtained:

  • Temperature deviations at critical points (injection points, inserts, thicker parts of the piece, etc.).
  • Detection of hot spots caused by friction from thermoplastic material in a particular area of the mould.
  • Effectiveness of temperature control.
  • Effectiveness of the mould temperature control system.
  • Proper heat distribution, both in the part and the mould.
  • Study the evolution of the temperature on the mold surface until the process stabilizes.
  • Optimization of cooling times.
  • Validation of results obtained with simulation programs.
