3 main reasons for uncertainty when handling adhesives are…
1
…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.
2
…polymerisation kinetics as an interdisciplinary science
The curing process requires a number of different scientific disciplines to be brought together.
3
…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.
1
Physical and chemical phenomena during polymerisation
can be visualised with IGB-sense®
2
The physical properties of a liquid adhesive change during curing and this change can also be visualised with IGB-sense®.
3
The changes from liquid to solid adhesive are recorded with IGB-sense® and visualise the curing process.
4
The curing process of adhesives is documented with IGB-sense® and provides valuable information for development, quality assurance and production monitoring.
1
The mobile, wireless IGB-sense® sensor is placed in the production system together with other production elements.
2
The system automatically analyses the polymerisation process in real time and compares all parameters with reference data.
3
In the event of a deviation, the IGB-sense® sends an alarm signal.
The IGB-sense® can also stop the entire process or trigger other
configuration-dependent actions via the PLC interface.
The IGB-sense® measuring system in a practical case contains everything you need for increased process reliability
in industrial bonding processes:
1
User-friendly
All functions are displayed in the control panel of the
intuitively operate software.
2
Wide range of applications
UV curing of adhesives, lacquers, paints, inks, potting compounds and thermal curing of adhesives at room temperature Curing of adhesives/sealants
(2K adhesives, moisture cross-linking, anaerobic).
3
Comprehensive documentation
All results are saved. The evaluation is carried out either in the supplied software or in any spreadsheet programme of your choice.
In addition to fast processes, ageing processes can also be analysed.
