In-Situ Temperature Monitoring for Better Thermoplastic Welding
Overview
Reliable bonding and joining of thermoplastic materials is a challenging and critical requirement. New in-situ monitoring technologies, based on high-definition distributed fiber optic sensors, are being used to provide real-time data for improved closed-loop control for induction welders, to optimize curing processes and even to validate the quality of adhesive joining processes.This webinarwill illustrate how this new technology is being applied, how it provides real-time data not available with other measurement methods and how it can be applied to create smart parts with embedded strain sensors. The webinar will also include a demonstration of the technology.
