The Perfect Sensor for Every Process

With its wide range of products, Kistler has a solution for every injection molding process. These unrivaled pressure/ temperature sensors Types 6189A... and 6190A enable the mold cavity pressure and temperature to be measured simultaneously at the same place. Direct-measuring Kistler sensors (Types 6152A... to 6190C...) are available with frontal diameters ranging from 1 to 6 mm, and can therefore be used for virtually any size of component. When working with abrasive materials, chrome-plated sensors must be used; Kistler can supply these in all today's standard sizes. For special applications where mold temperatures are in excess of 200 °C, high-temperature sensors that can withstand mold temperatures up to 300 °C are available. For a low-pressure application like foam molding, sensors with a measuring range of 0 to 200 bar must be used in order to achieve an optimum resolution (Types 6172A... to 6178A...).

In the case of optical components with a Class A surface, mold cavity pressure is acquired by means of contactless measurement. The steel is measured using a measuring pin (Type 9247A…), which is mounted a sufficient distance behind the cavity wall.
