IGB-sense®
Are you sure that your adhesive is fully cured?
Real-time cure monitoring for increased process reliability in industrial bonding processes with IGB-sense®.
- Wireless mobile spectrometer
- Real-time curing analysis and monitoring
- Documentation of curing processes
- Monitoring and intervention in production processes
Only complete transparency
of the curing process gives certainty.
3 main reasons for uncertainty when handling adhesives are…
the intransparency of a polymer
Insufficient quality of the cured polymer could previously only be determined by offline tests on the finished product. Measurements of the relevant individual parameters are only possible to a limited extent and often require in-depth knowledge and experience.
polymerisation kinetics as an interdisciplinary science
The curing process requires a number of different scientific disciplines to be brought together.
complex measurement processes
Conventional measurements are often indirect, i.e. the sample is tested before and after curing and conclusions are drawn. As a result, the equipment is expensive and requires operator and training time.
Especially if the production process is to be monitored closely and in real time, it is important to detect potential faults at an early stage and correct them if necessary.
With the IGB-sense®, many deviations and faults can be detected and counteracted before or in real time during production.
Fast processes® can be visualised, documented and immediately controlled in real time with IGB-sense®
-
Versatility:
Regardless of whether fast reactions (e.g. light curing) or slow ageing processes need to be analysed: IGB-sense has the right sensor and the right evaluation software for your product. -
Mobile use:
Thanks to the wireless transmitter, which can be used up to 20m distance from the receiver, you can carry out the measurement flexibly and on the move fault. -
Diagnosis in real time:
By monitoring the final result, all factors in the long chain of influencing factors are taken into account at the same time and a reliable statement on the degree of polymerisation is possible. -
Holistic view:
This not only avoids over/under-exposure, but also allows statements about the efficiency of different wavelengths or even StepCure profiles (different time-staggered exposures).
How does the IGB-sense® visualise
the curing of the adhesive?
Physikalische und chemische Phänomene während einer Polymerisation können mit IGB-sense® sichtbar gemacht werden. Physical and chemical phenomena during polymerisation can be visualised with IGB-sense®.
The physical properties of a liquid adhesive change during curing and this change can also be visualised with IGB-sense®.
The changes from liquid to solid adhesive are recorded with IGB-sense® and visualise the curing process.
The curing process of adhesives is documented with IGB-sense® and provides valuable information for development, quality assurance and production monitoring.
How does IGB-sense® give me confidence
in my production processes?
The mobile, wireless IGB-sense sensor is placed in the production system together with other production elements.
The system automatically analyses the polymerisation process in real time and compares all parameters with reference data.
In the event of a deviation, the IGB-sense® sends an alarm signal.
The IGB-sense® measuring system
The IGB-sense® measuring system in a practical case contains everything you need for increased process reliability in industrial bonding processes:
-
Mobile transmitter
...which can be used at a distance of up to 20 m from the receiver. -
The receiver
…connected to your computer via USB cable -
Sensor board
…is disposable and can be connected to the transmitter repeatedly to measure changes in the tested adhesive or paint.
User-friendly, versatile, flexible and complete
