High resolution sensors for low-pressure
injection
For low pressure moulding techniques, Kistler has developed new sensors with a resolution four times higher than standard sensors and with a measurement range of 0 to 200 bar.
Low-pressure techniques such as injection-compression moulding, foaming and in-mould decorating have been gaining in importance as methods for enhancing injection-moulding processes Industrial application of these techniques, however, is more complex than standard processes

Running on a laptop, the combination of signal conditioner and data management software provides real time graphic display, analysis, monitoring and documentation of injection moulding.
Mould cavity pressure measurement provides practical help for mould sampling, large-scale production monitoring or for quality documentation.
To meet the special requirements of low pressure moulding techniques, Kistler has developed new sensors with a resolution four times higher than standard sensors and with a measurement range of 0 to 200 bar.
With front diameters of 2.5mm and 4mm, the new sensor dimensions are equal to those of standard sensors allowing existing moulds to be easily upgraded.
The sensors are use with single-wire technology and are compatible with standard cables and charge amplifiers, allowing major savings in mould engineering and maintenance.
The sensors with product numbers 6177AE (front diameter 4 mm, sensitivity 45 pC/bar) and 6178AE (2,5 mm, 10 pC/bar) are available now.
