Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I select the right temperature sensor for hot runner injection systems? Sensor selection depends on several factors, including temperature range, plastic material, mounting dimensions, and installation method. Our range includes various sensor types (bayonet, screw-in, clamp, and under nozzle thermocouples) to precisely match your process requirements.
Can bayonet and screw-in thermocouples be used interchangeably? While both types serve a similar function, they differ in installation methods. Bayonet thermocouples offer fast and easy mounting, making them ideal for injection molds, whereas screw-in thermocouples provide a secure threaded connection, recommended for applications requiring firm and stable fastening.
What are the most commonly used types of temperature sensors in plastics processing? The most popular types include FeCuNi/J thermocouples and PT-100 resistance sensors. Thermocouples are more versatile and suitable for a wide range of temperatures, whereas PT-100 sensors offer higher accuracy within a specific temperature range.
How can I extend the lifespan of a temperature sensor? Regularly inspect cables, sensor tips, and mounting points. Avoid mechanical damage and overheating beyond the sensor’s rated temperature range. Periodic calibration is recommended for processes requiring high precision.
Are these sensors compatible with standard temperature controllers? Yes, FeCuNi/J thermocouples and PT-100 sensors are compatible with most industrial temperature controllers. If you have questions about a specific controller model, please contact our technical team.
Can the same temperature sensors be used for different plastic materials? In most cases, yes. However, it’s essential to check the required temperature range for each plastic type. Some polymers require higher processing temperatures, so choosing a sensor with the appropriate heat resistance is crucial.
How is the installation and maintenance of temperature sensors performed? Installation depends on the sensor type:
Bayonet thermocouples – Installed by twisting the mounting sleeve.
Screw-in thermocouples – Installed using a threaded connection.
Clamp thermocouples – Secured using a clamp or fastener. Maintenance involves keeping the sensor clean, checking connections, and regularly inspecting cables.
How fast do temperature sensors respond to temperature changes? Response time depends on the diameter and construction of the sensor.
Smaller diameters (e.g., Ø1.0 mm or Ø1.5 mm in under nozzle thermocouples) react faster to sudden temperature changes.
Larger diameters (e.g., Ø6 mm or Ø8 mm) may have slightly longer response times but still provide stable and accurate temperature regulation.
Do you offer support for sensor selection and configuration? Yes! Our technical team is available to help you choose the right model, determine the best sensor type for your application, and provide guidance on installation and operation.
