COMPLETE PRODUCT-LINE MOLD-CAVITY PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS
21 April 2006 - Kistler Instruments

With the market launch of its new 1 mm temperature sensor, Kistler now offers a complete product line for measuring mold cavity pressure and temperature in the molded component.

All sensors are available with 1 mm, 2,5 mm and 4 mm front diameters. Pressure and temperature sensors with the same front diameter have identical measurements and can be inserted into the same borehole. The unique combined pressure and temperature sensor with 2,5 mm and 4 mm front diameter can measure both quantities simultaneously.

Sensors for measuring the temperature of the molded component are used in addition to mold cavity pressure sensors. Mold cavity pressure already reveals correlations of up to 95 % with the molded part characteristics. This can be increased to as much as 99 % by adding temperature measurement.

Kistler surface temperature sensors are equipped with a unique thermocouple system in direct contact with the molded component produced. This system, together with the low mass of the thermocouple, makes Kistler sensors significantly faster than standard thermocouples used in the injection molding process.

About: Kistler Instruments
Kistler is one of the world's leading suppliers of measurement technology. Kistler pressure sensors, force sensors and accelerometers use the piezoelectric effect for precise measurement of mechanical properties.

Kistler is a privately-owned Swiss company which develops and manufactures sensors and electronics for measuring pressure, force and acceleration.

Additionally, the functionality of electronics plays an increasing role when defining a measuring system and even more frequently, electronics in fact becomes part of the sensor itself. Most of Kistler's products have been developed in close cooperation between leading universities or research facilities and Kistler's engineers.

Investments in Kistler's research department have led to the development of new crystals which enable reliable measurements to be taken under the most extreme environmental conditions. The results of our in-depth crystal research will give us a leading edge in advancing the state-of-the-art.
