IR THERMAL INSPECTION FOR THERMOFORMING
Real-time thermal imaging to monitor the thermoforming and heat-sealing processes in the production line
Project: ZDZW
Publisher: SIEMENS
Technology: Thermal images of heated and formed plastic sheets
Industry: Home appliance, Automotive
INTRODUCTION
The IR Thermal Imaging Inspection solution serves two distinct applications:
1. Thermoforming App: It monitors thermal images of heated and formed plastic sheets during the thermoforming process. This edge-based solution incorporates closed-loop communication control with a digital twin, offering real-time thermal data monitoring in 2D/3D and quality control of produced plastic sheets. It is oriented to industries involved in plastic thermoforming. This solution caters to home appliance manufacturers, automotive manufacturers, and similar sectors engaged in thermoforming processes.
2. Heat Sealing Process App: It oversees the filling and sealing process of all products through non-intrusive inline inspection. It provides real-time 4D data, enabling comprehensive monitoring and control of every step within the heat-sealing process. This solution serves industries involved in heat-sealing or induction sealing of various packaging types, including capsules, bottles, flow packs, and others.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
