Modern plastic molding technology is characterized by very high quality standards and an increasing number of complex injection-molding parts, all under enormous cost pressure.

A key factor in increasing quality and efficiency in the area of injection molding is cavity pressure. This value characterizes the filling phase, the compression phase and the holding pressure phase and thus provides the relevant parameters to control and improve the process. For many customers with safety-critical components, quality control and documentation are also of crucial importance to process optimization. For example, product traceability is of central importance in the automotive and medical industry. Through the precise measurement of cavity pressure, all production information for each part is available and can be documented in a component-specific way.

In plastic injection molding, temperatures with which melted mass is forced into tools can reach up to 400°C and pressure can exceed 2000 bars. Cavity pressure sensors must be able to withstand these conditions, and very small sensors are required for modern multi-cavity tools. In order to optimally meet various installation situations, the sensors are available in plug-in and screw-type models, as well as different sizes. Regardless of design, all the sensors are equipped with a detachable cable and can be easily used even in the event of cable damage.
