Condition Monitoring of Movable & Fixed Dies in Casting via Infrared Thermography
IR Thermal Camera
Challenges
- Needed precise temperature control of movable & fixed dies.
- Variations caused warping, cracking, and surface defects.
- Overheating reduced die life; undercooling led to poor bonding.
- No real-time data made quality control reactive.
Solution
- Uniform heating, and reduced rejections
- Clear temperature layout – better insights into die conditions.
- Early detection of overheating and undercooling
- Extend die life and ensure material flow.
Specifications
- Temperature Range : -20 °C – 900 °C
- Distance to spot ratio : 390:1
Customer's Benefit
- Prominent temperature layout provides the user more specific idea about die condition
- Best Prise to performance
- Motorized focus
- Mid level resolution
