Why you need this technology if you work with plastic or film

Technology Spotlights

Micro-Epsilon has launched a new temperature sensor that has been specifically designed for use in plastics production. The NEW CTP-3 thermoMETER sensor has a specific wavelength of 3.43 &micro:m which eliminates transmission errors from nearby heat sources by using a polymer-specific absorption band.

Whether in R&D, production, process monitoring or quality control, incorporating temperature sensors or thermal imaging cameras to your application can help you achieve that fully automated process, improve quality control or aid health & safety in the work place. Our temperature sensors can work alone or in partnership with Thermal Imaging Cameras to assists in temperature detection, measurement or monitoring applications.

CTP-3 thermoMETER - ideal for temperature measurement of thin plastics

The NEW CTP-3 thermoMETER sensor is designed for temperature measurement and monitoring of thin plastics and films (<300µm).

Applications include:

  • Plastic thin film extrusion/stretching
  • Plastic thin film blowing
  • Calendaring, laminating

Features include:

  • Exact temperature measurement of thin plastic film (e.g. polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS)
  • 3.43 µm wavelength, eliminating transmission errors by using a polymer-specific absorption band
  • For use in ambient temperatures up to 75°C without cooling

TIM 160 - 120Hz high speed Thermal Imaging Camera

Working in partnership:

In conjunction with the CTP-3 the TIM 160 uses the line scanning feature to check the whole length of the material while laminating textiles onto plastics in the Automotive industry.

  • Measuring range from -20°C to 1500°C
  • Real time video recording at 120Hz frame rate and slow motion play back
  • TIM Connect software, provides quick and easy set up and full video analysis
  • Cooling jacket enclosure available for temperatures up to 315°C

TIM 450 - Thermal sensitivity of 40mK

Working in partnership:

The TIM 450 works together with the CTP-3 on a film blowing machine, monitoring the temperature and resistance on the air ring.

  • Measuring range from -20°C to 1500°C
  • Can detect tiny temperature differences with a thermal sensitivity of just 40mK
  • Detailed analysis of fast thermodynamic processes
  • License free software included
