3 mm Press Fit Cavity Temperature Sensor
The Press Fit Cavity Temperature Sensor is a tool used to analyze temperature variation inside the actual mold cavity. These sensors work in conjunction with RJG’s process control systems to assist molders in diagnosing processing problems relating to temperature issues. The temperature of both the melt and mold make up two of the four plastic variables that determine how a part is formed.
The Press Fit Cavity Temperature Sensor is simple to install. Simply drill a small hole for the wire and a flat bottomed pocket with the tolerance necessary to press fit the device in from the cavity face.
Available cable lengths: 1.8M, 2.5M
