In-Mould Pressure Sensor (IMPS) Equipment
The IMPS range and readout units have been developed specifically for accurate pressure monitoring and control in RTM and Resin Infusion moulding processes.
IMPS can be used to provide in-mould feedback control to Ciject® Injection machines.
A range of fittings are available which allow sensors to be mounted through the surface of a composite/metal mould or into a vacuum bag.
