Thermal imaging analyzes the health of your mold. (Tooling).New thermal-imaging software from Ircon Inc., Niles, Ill., can analyze a mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium. while it is making parts. Mold Inspector software, used with Ircon's Stinger infrared An invisible band of radiation at the lower end of the visible light spectrum. With wavelengths from 750 nm to 1 mm, infrared starts at the end of the microwave spectrum and ends at the beginning of visible light. imaging camera, is designed specifically to view external mold temperatures. The data reveals mold wear, cracks, improper cooling, and hot or cold spots that can indicate blocked cooling channels. The system can also be used during mold set-up and after part ejection ejection /ejec·tion/ (e-jek´shun) 1. the act of casting out or the state of being cast out, as of excretions, secretions, or other bodily fluids. 2. something cast out. 3. to see if mold release agents are being properly applied. The software can be used as a feedback control to optimize optimize - optimisation operation of air nozzles used to cool portions of the mold after part removal. The Windows-based software runs on a standard desktop PC. Minimum, maximum, average, absolute, and differential temperatures can be displayed in graphical or numeric numeric see numerical. numeric cluster see ten-key pad. format. Regions of interest in the image can be selected by drawing a line around a target zone, which is then monitored by the software. Target zones can be keyed to alarms and feedback control loops. Up to 50 target zones can be selected. Tel: (847) 967-5151, www.ircon.com |
